To say this album was not well received when originally released would be something of an understatement. The reviews were poor, and sales were abysmal. However, like most of Young's 80s output, it is well worth tracking down and deciding for yourself whether or not it's your thing.
There are forays into electronic music here, with Young using a variety of synthesizers and a vocoder on some tracks. The record was such a departure from his usual, albeit varied, music that when his popularity reached new heights in the post-grunge 90s, Geffen didn't even bother to reissue this particular album in the US, hence the UK notation for the CD above.
Personally, I love this album. It's great music for 2:00 AM cruising along the foggy beach roads around my house, and provides a surreal, retro-futuristic soundtrack for those late night drives.
