All Music Guide Review
The third volume in CMJ magazine's series documenting the roots of alternative rock spotlights the increasing diffusion of college radio playlists -- while tracks like X's "We're Desperate" and Black Flag's "Rise Above" continued carrying the flag for American punk and hardcore, in Britain the new trend was the emergence of synth-pop, with groups including Ultravox ("The Voice"), Japan ("The Art of Parties") and Spandau Ballet ("To Cut a Long Story Short") all making waves. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
