Average Rating: 
Rating: - David and David
Excellent! Love it and have loved it since the mid eighties when I was introduced to it by these two gorgeous roomates I had from California while I was living on Mackinac Island Mich. They listened to it over and over again and apologized and I said, "Don't! I love it." and I've listened to it a million times since and introduced it to many people. Whole damn thing is great.
Rating:  - A Great Album
I don't know much about anything on this album. I bought the cassette and wore it out then bought another one. Great music...holds up better than most 80's music did.
Rating: - The Great Disillusionment: A Neglected Masterpiece
The 1980s were often described as "the ME decade"--an era characterized by materialism, self-indulgence, and self-satisfaction.

But in 1987 David Baerwald and David Ricketts took a musical look beneath the veneer at the underbelly of greed, drugs, and alienation that fueled the day. ... Read More
Rating: - Stunning!
I have to agree with much of what is said here. This is a real masterpiece with a range of topics and textures. The title track and "Swallowed by the Cracks" were radio friendly in the 80s, but this disc is loaded with gems from start to finish. The lyrics generally address pains and struggles that accompany the American Dream.
Rating: - Welcome to the Boomtown
I love the guitar and vocals and lyrics on every single track. I've loved this CD since the 80's. I wore my tape out and searched and searched for this CD for a long time and finally found it again! I wanted to hear it so bad again I paid for express shipping. I wish these guys would have stayed together and made more music. What a freakin shame...
