It isn't very cohesive, but there are a couple great songs on it and a bunch of good ones. It doesn't come together as an album very well, but I like the individual tracks. I like it and GO ON much more than WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD. I have the fourth album (PULL) & it's great. It isn't very cohesive, but there are a couple great songs on it and a bunch of good ones.

Lyrics and titles are, by far, the least important component of a pop song, just as nobody gives a shit in an opera what the libretto is (most librettos, if you read them, are a bunch of melodramatic tripe). Two of the most infectious, enjoyable pop songs of the 80s - "Head over Heels" by Tears for Fears and "Head over Heels" by the Go-Go's - share the same title: the most cliched, trite, banal title imaginable. But the tunes still hold up. <br><br>"Hunters of the Night"? Not quite that good, but still pretty good. Who cares?
