Suicide goes Pop.......2004-04-12
Wild In Blue is an atmospheric electronic number, whilst Surrender is a sixties style love song with lovely female vocals, not too far from Elvis or Frankie Valli. This original version of Jukebox Baby 96 is slower than the aforementioned track on Vega's solo album, but still full of urgency, that pumping rockabilly beat and Vega's excited gasps and shrieks.
Rain Of Ruin with its prominent guitar sound is an ominous drone whilst Suffering In Vain has a slower beat and mostly subdued, half-spoken vocals with some anguished growls. With its insistent beat and varied vocals, Dominic Christ is quite interesting.
Love So Lovely has a great pop riff, droning guitar and synths with a fast rhythmic texture; it is one of my favorites on this album. The uptempo Devastation has glockenspiel infusions over a droning beat, offering a very evocative aural impression together with the expressive vocals.
Although a satisfying album for the fan, A Way Of Life is definitely not the best of this great pioneering band. Perhaps, in an effort to make the sound more accessible, Ocasek produced some of the magic away. I recommend the aforementioned First Album, Half Alive, Ghost Riders and certain of the solo albums of Alan Vega like Collision Drive and Saturn Strip.
