The sound is new wave \/ rock \/ synthpop straight from the 80s. Some people will write this off as dated no matter what I say \u2013 but I believe that good music is still good music no matter how it ages. I liked this sound back in the day, so I still like it now. The sonics on this disc are beautiful \u2013 I only have the vinyl to compare it to, but this sounds much brighter and clearer than what I hear coming from the LP. The packaging is a bit odd, though. The cover and back jackets of the album jacket are faithfully reproduced on the outside of the booklet, but you open that up to see a large photo of the band playing live at the reunion concert in 2005. I would have liked to have seen some unreleased photos or press from back in the day \u2013 but that may not have been available. Or maybe too embarrassing \ud83d\ude42 (I hide all my pics from that era as well). All that is minor, though \u2013 this is overall a great re-issue of a classic album.<\/p>\n[2011 Meis Music Group | Purchase: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Escape-Fallen-Anniversary-Edition-Reissue\/dp\/B004GCQ2PA\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon.com<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crumb\u00e4cher\u2019s classic second album has been given a facelift for its 25th anniversary.
