Oh wow, I didn't think anyone would actually listen to all eight of them!
It's funny, New Order, The Cure, Depeche Mode, and Duran Duran (to a much lesser extent) were all bands I was very well-versed in (and in the case of the first three, went through obsessive phases with) before I discovered Simple Minds' back catalog. After falling in love with SM's 1980-1984 output, I never felt the same way about any of those acts again.
Either way, that's pretty awesome that you took the time to listen and post some thoughts. You're a good man, PryTo.
I was able to give this a listen this morning. Definitely not my cup of tea (I don't like the singer at all), and the bands I can most readily connect to them are not really in my musical wheelhouse. The fact bass and feel of some of those songs also reminds me a bit of some War era U2, if it was just a little more synth oriented.
A friend of mine tried to sell me on BOC last year. I listened to a few of the albums several times each, but in the end they just didn't do it for me.
