About

"If you want to know what the ’80s really sounded like, take a listen to Bourgeois Tagg’s eponymous debut album from 1986. This is where all the disparate trends of the early ’80s came together to create the sound of mid- to late-’80s mainstream rock: there’s the remnants of pre-MTV arena rock, the synths of new wave, the post-Rundgren blend of power pop and stadium anthem, and the immaculate studiocraft of mainstream pop, where it was possible to hear every individual drum in Phil Collins’ 11-piece kit. There are lots of synth, lots of basslines played on synth, lots of clean, post-funk rhythm guitar, breathy vocal, and big hair on nearly every member. It’s the kind of record that sounds like nothing was actually was made by a human, outside of (perhaps) the lead vocal." .
