I hadn't played an album by them in a while. I noticed I played the first two albums already, so let's go with their third. They are all good albums. Some of my favorite album cuts from the band on this album. "Man In A Suitcase", "Canary in a Coalmine", "When the World is Running Down..", and especially "Driven To Tears", could have easily been singles. It shows a slight progression from the first two albums, which have always felt to me like a pair of twins. The lead off track and big hit single "Don't Stand So Close To Me" bridges the gap well from the early work to the big massive MTV hits on albums four and five. A strong album, but again, the trio didn't make one bad album. "Seems that when some innocent die, all we can offer them is a page in a some magazine. Too many cameras and not enough food. This is what we've seen. Driven to tears." - Michael - MFL
29) James-"Sayonara"  From the album 'Wah-Wah'.
