Free Music Notes for Forever Young
Free Music Review: One of the best albums...EVER!
Hit: 5 Stars
Everything that was said in the previous reviews are all correct. This album is great from start to finish. If you truly want the best synth-pop from the 80's, look no further.
I rate "Forever Young" as one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time. This album sits next to Depeche Mode's "Black Celebration," if that means anything to you synth pop lovers.
Each song on this album, starting with a "Victory of Love," all the way til the end, with "The Jet Set," could be singles on their own merit.
Sadly, Alphaville never really held on to this magic, and this debut album states the best that the band has offered. Then again, some bands' careers never amount to anything close to what this album has accomplished.
If you love synth pop, just buy this album. It sounds as fresh today as it did back in 1984.
Forever Young Poster
Sure, it screams mid-1980s as joyously as any John Hughes teen flick, but this debut--from perhaps the only German export to sound positively gleeful--deserves as long a nostalgic afterlife as Soft Cell's "Tainted Love," Yaz's "Only You" or mid-period Depeche Mode. Forget OMD's "If You Leave," "Forever Young" is the best should-be prom-theme the decade produced. While "Big in Japan" was the KROQ anthem, everything here is deliriously tuneful. Revel in the manic melodies of "The Jet-Set," delight in the guilty synth-pleasure of "Sounds Like a Melody," surrender to the international romantic intrigue of "To Germany with Love," and hope that VH-1 re-discovers them for a reunion tour. --David DaleyAlternative Rock Music CDs
