Album „The Lines are Open“ (1985)

Beitrag von Stranger Peer

"Alben stelle ich dann vor, wenn ich diese rauf und runter höre." Von diesem Grundsatz löse ich mich. Der NachfolgerThe Lines are Open war das letzte Album der Gruppe The Arrows. Großartige Hits wie Fallen Angel oder Meet Me in the Middle fehlen, dafür ist der 80er Sound ausgeprägter und es gibt Musikvideos. Das Coverdesign ist mager gestaltet.

Originally released in 1985, The Lines Are Open was the second (and final) album from Canadian new wave/AOR band The Arrows. The band had a sound that was somewhere between the pop and melodic rock sounds of the time, putting a pop sheen on some very catchy songs.

The Lines Are Open is probably more pop-oriented than the band’s 1984 debut Stand Back, but it’s still a really enjoyable album along the lines of Boulevard, Mr. Mister and Glass Tiger. It’s full of the kind of synth (and sax)-heavy songs you’d expect to find on ‘80s movie soundtracks. “Talk Talk” and “Chains” were the singles from this album, and “Bad Reputation” probably should have been. Unfortunately The Arrows never really took off the way they should have, so this ended up being their final album. If you’re a serious fan of the ‘80s pop/rock and AOR sounds, The Lines Are Open is an album that’s well worth checking out.

Reissue Notes: Yesterrock reissued The Lines Are Open in 2013. In addition to putting this album back into fans’ hands, they also gave it an impressive digital remastering. There is no bonus material, and the liners are pretty weak, but it is a great-sounding reissue.


Talk Talk zähle ich zu meinen Favoriten. Das Album ist ein Meisterwerk, würde ich nur nach dem 80er Sound bewerten.
