Apparently they still had art in their system, hence The Day The Earth
Caught Fire, a concept album of sorts concerning their fears about what the
upcoming decade may hold, beginning with the orchestrally augmented,
Supertramp-esque title-song, and culminating in the twelve-minute, four-part
"Ambition." But three of the songs on the A-side (notably "Interrupted
Melody," a Springsteen-clone, and the melodic pop of "Modern Love Affair")
have nothing to do with the concept and break the album's flow. Still, "New
York Times" (apparently a much older Broughton/Mason composition updated
for vocals by Ward) is a stunning ballad with orchestral backing, while "Up In
The Eighties" and "Machines" use synthesizers effectively to create a 1980's
sound a year early. One of their better efforts.
