Review: Hidden gem - Great covers by a great band. Review: Good, but original material would be better - Remember Simple Minds? They're the guys who did cool songs like "Alive and Kicking" and "Don't You (Forget About Me)" back in the 1980s. They've been around since the late 70s, and it shows, both in their looks and their skill. All of the cool bands are doing covers, from Tori Amos to Madonna, so is it any wonder that Simple Minds have decided to do the same with Neon Lights? It's not as though covers are new to Simple Minds. Way back in the days when they were scrawny and used to be known as Johnny and theSelf-Abusers, they would cover songs by Lou Reed, The Doors, and David Bowie. I guess they've decided to come around full-circle, now that it's trendy again. Although this is a strong album overall, not all the tracks are that great. I skipped ahead to the next track while listening to "Hello I Love You," "Gloria," "Love Will Tear Us Apart," and "The Man Who Sold the World." "Love Will Tear Us Apart" seems like a particularly bad cover; Simple Minds turn it into a techno club song, and I just don't think it works. It makes the Joy Division goth classic both boring and commonplace. However, the album does have several tracks which do shine. "Homosapien" and "Being Boiled" are quirky and interesting, "All Tomorrow's Parties" is a powerful reinterpretation of that ground-breaking Velvet Underground song, and "Neon Lights" is an interesting take on a Kraftwerk classic. This cover album is nice, but I think I'd rather listen to Simple Minds performing original material. Hopefully, their new album, Our Secrets Are the Same, will soon be disentangled from its legal problems and released. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00005MJ8Q | | Best Sellers Rank | #469,782 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #41,145 in Alternative Rock (CDs & Vinyl) #191,490 in Rock (CDs & Vinyl) #198,358 in Pop (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (37) | | Date First Available | November 1, 2006 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | Eagle | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Eagle | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2001 | | Product Dimensions | 4.92 x 5.63 x 0.47 inches; 3.17 ounces | | SPARS Code | DDD | ## Images ![Neon Lights - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MnL-Ptc6L.jpg) ![Neon Lights - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61N-14YesuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hidden gem *by M***6 on September 22, 2019* Great covers by a great band. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good, but original material would be better *by S***L on October 22, 2001* Remember Simple Minds?
