4.0 out of 5 stars Solid, but Needs Outside Producer + Dedicated Keyboardist
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2022
This is a very good Simple Minds album, one of the better albums of the 21st-century, perhaps on par with Cry or Walk Between Worlds. Long time fans might hear hints of New Gold Dream, Street Fighting Years, Cry, and the band's previous album Walk Between Worlds.

The best track on the album is the opener and lead single, Vision Thing. It’s lush, atmospheric, with plenty of great keyboards and an infectious melody. Other highlights on the album include Solstice Kiss, Natural, Planet Zero, and the new version of the excellent Direction of the Heart, which was a b-side from the 2018 single Magic.
.
The weak link is Who Killed Truth?, an intriguing title for a flat song. It’s a dull, one-dimensional song lacking any classic Simple Minds keyboards.

This is a very good album, and will go into heavy rotation. But it's not as great as it could be. During its heyday, Simple Minds was a 5-piece band. But for the past 30 years, the band's two remaining members - singer Jim Kerr and guitarist Charlie Burchill - try to make Simple Minds albums as a duo. Looking forward, Simple Minds can easily make music as good as its 1980s heyday, when it becomes a full 5-piece band again.

This album is missing two things: a dedicated producer, and a fully integrated keyboardist. On the best Simple Minds albums, such as Sons and Fascination or New Godl Dream, Burchill was often content adding rhythmic textures, while keyboardist Michael Macneil took the melodic lead.

The best Simple Minds album since the 1980s, by most accounts, is Big Music, from 2014. This is a spectacular album, it is probably my favorite Simple Minds album of all time. This album was coproduced by Simple Minds other producers. On the new album, the album is produced by simple minds with “production assistance” from others. Jim and charlie are very talented, but they benefit from the outside perspective of a producer.

Big Music also had a fully integrated and very talented keyboardist in Andy Gillespie. Gillespie cowrote some of the strongest tracks on the album, and his programming and amazing keyboard textures were all over the album.

Finally, Direction of the Heart is a bit short, and includes a cover song. The Walls Came Down is very strong, and somehow it actually sounds like the work of a Scottish band, rather than American. But Simple Minds has so much great music in the vault, it would be great if they would continue to polish off original music. For example, where is the great song Fire Fighter, which the band played live once in 2010, and then never heard from again?

Simple Minds hit its low point in the late 1990s and early 2000s. And for the past 20 years, the band was been rejuvenated and released a series of very strong albums. I'm hopeful that in the future, the band will benefit from outside production, as well as a fully integrated keyboardist

4.0 out of 5 stars Another solid release
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2022
For a few years we've been getting solid if unspectacular releases from Simple Minds (which is mostly Kerr/Burchill). And there for me lies "the problem", I think it's comfortable and competent and melodic and all very professional, certainly avoiding a U2-like demise into mediocrity, but there's no "wow" factor anywhere anymore. Maybe they need more input form other writers, maybe McNeill and Forbes provided more than we were aware of.

Anyway, it's mostly solid with a bit of filler. Like the last 2 I'd give it 3 and a half if I could, but it's simple Minds and I've been with them since 1970-something so I'm rounding up!

Still an amazing live band, come back to US soon please !
