Comments for Talk Talk, The Color Of Spring

A great, great album. Living In Another World and Life's What You Make It are from another world;great songs.

This album is fantastic! Probably Talk Talk''s best, positioned between their earlier synthpop sound and their later freeform experiments, it''s gorgeously rich on melody and still features glimmers of experimentalism. The opening and closing tracks -- "Happiness is Easy" and "Time It''s Time" -- are some of the most emotionally intense songs Mark Hollis and co. have ever composed. Having traded synths for more natural-sounding organs, they create a truly timeless album. Oh, and the hard-to-find B-sides from this period are also brilliant.
