    "I dreamed another dream that you had come to take me home"
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2012*

A captivating cover and wonderful photos and packaging is just icing on the cake as Simple Minds brings us another great album, especially for fans of their music after their New Gold Dream period.  This is a very solid release.  The songs and lyrics, like some of their best, have a spiritual, traveled, and yearning quality to them.  There seems to me to be a running theme lyrically throughout the album of death, passing, or journeying in a sense of the traveler going to, ending up at, or finding home.1) Stay Visible: A great opener that drew me right in.  The music is large and expansive with very nice tonal textures to the guitar, though the vocal melody is initially a little forced.  I'll say it again as, throughout this song, the guitar tones dominate and are sumptuous and positively paired with ambient sound effects that float and flit between your left and right speakers.  For the music I'd give this 5 stars but, surprisingly, Kerr's vocals bring this song down a bit.  4.5 stars2) Home: Warm vocals that are reminiscent of the vocals off of "Street Fighting Years".  Kerr's voice is soulful, prominent.  His voice hints at an emotioanl longing that is supported in the spiritual journey-themed lyrics.  There is solid if not interesting musical support.  If the first song showcased the music then this song showcases Kerr's voice.  4 stars3) Stranger: Guitar = buzz, sparkle, bleed.  Solid number this.  Very enjoyable with the chorus of "stranger, beautiful stranger" one that can slide around in your head for awhile and you will like it.  As a reference, this song could have fit nicely on "Good News For The Next World" as a forward-looking song.  Subtle bass and percussion work really makes this song stand strong.  4.5 stars4) Different World [Taormina.me]: With a buzzy, big chorus this synth pop number finds Kerr humming and intoning lowly "it's alright" and then switching it up and singing in higher, almost a low alto register for the verses.  "Let us go high into a different world"  4 stars5) Underneath the Ice: Strongly expressing the theme of the album this piece finds a soulful, slightly haunted sound and features simply lovely guitar tones and textures and a bass that beats and bubbles like the heart of a river.  "I dreamed another dream that you had come to take me home"  4 stars6) The Jeweller Part 2: We're thrown a bit of a change here with a sound that is a little on the clubbish side.  You could dance to this one.  There's a touch of U2's Bono in the vocals (not meaning he's a guest vocalist but that Kerr is sounding a bit like him).  Some of the guitar portions remind me again of the higher guitar notes "Street Fighting Years" (that's a good thing though, if you were wondering).  Unfortunately there is a heavier emphasis on an oft repeated chorus and a great deal of lyrical redundancy that diminishes this one.  3 stars7) A Life Shot In Black & White: Very cinematic, big sound.  Much like the first song although I would say that Kerr's vocals are better suited here and are, like the music, also expansive, rich, and even slightly sad.  Nicely paired with a yearning guitar.  4.5 stars8) Kiss the Ground: A more poetic yet not fully realized song that does a great job of starting to paint a picture of war ravages but then draws back from more fully filling that picture out and it overuses a chorus that, towards the end of the song, starts to stall the song.  Could have been better if it was a bit shorter.  3 stars9) Dolphins:  Hmmn.  This is a strange song.  And Simple Minds have some strange ones in their back (especially early) catalog.  What to say about it?  Full of long piano notes, some slurred singing, and a slow tempo the song itself can generate a feeling in the listener of reflection.  It also has some beautiful musical moments and this is where the song is at its best.  But when Kerr sings "dolphins drag me down" this extremely unusual (and dare I say counterintuitive?) phrase and thought disrupts and takes the listener out of the song and probably out of their reflection.  I'm torn on this one.  4 stars

    That's where true greatness and what Legends come from......
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2015*

Been a fan since that ICONIC song. Ran out and bought once upon time, back then I had it on it cassette tape. Broke it from playing it too much. Since then been dying to see a Simple Minds play a live gig. So far haven't yet. On my bucket List thought,  Finally building my Simple Minds library. I have some of their Pre-Iconic song Albums their Brilliant. I  honestly dislike when critics compare other bands and music. In my opinion there is no comparison. Simple Minds have their own unique style and sound, Nothing like any other band, It's unfortunate that the US doesn't see the brilliance and passion behind their music with each album they get better and more unique. Their main focus is the Music.  As it should be. Not just to manufacture something just to sell albums. That's where true greatness and what Legends come from.

    Really good Simple Minds
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2019*

This album is excellent. Not every song is great but there is not a weak one among the 9. Simple Minds have really grown well with the times, while still staying true to their sound.
