The Album that should have made them known in your suburb.......2005-09-21

If you were to play a few albums defining American New Wave in the 1980's LOVE IS THE LAW could be the definitive one.
The cover itself is beautiful and verrry cool.
"Love Is The Law" is one of the 80's should-have-been-biggest songs. It's soo damn infectious!
"Rattle My Bones" was recently re-recorded by the group for a Target ad and it's not hard to gauge why.
It's one of their catchiest numbers as well as get your attention from the beginning.
"Monster Man", "Perfect Communist" and "Rainy Day" are Ferryesque
new wave classics.
Buy this album if only for the title track, "Rainy Day" and "Perfect Communist".
The Suburbs deserve to mentioned in the same breath as The Replacements, Prince and Husker Du when mentioning
Minneapolis' finest!
Love Is The Law!!!

I saw the Suburbs back in1985..........2005-08-07

at the student union in Iowa City, Iowa. I was in the 8th grade and it was my first concert. I have seen a lot of concerts since then, but none of them echoed so loudly as that show. 'Love is the Law' is okay. Its kind of simple stuff. But some of that simple stuff is really great. The funny thing is, the best Suburbs album was their last one that came out in '86. I can't find that one anywhere.

A true classic... available again!!!.......2004-03-16

Back in the early 80s, this gem found its way into the vinyl racks for about, oh..... five minutes! Then Mercury dumped the band. They made one more album and imploded. I saw the Suburbs live twice. The first time was as an opening act for Iggy Pop at a small club in Madison, Wisconsin. The second time was as they were winding their way back thru the west at a little bar in Greeley, Colorado. Both shows were fine, but what I will always remember the band for is a post-gig discussion I had with a kind and personable Blaine John Chaney, and one of the finest rock records ever recorded: LOVE IS THE LAW. Everything came together on this album. The band is hot. The tunes are great. The production is supurb. This album is easily one of the finest examples of American music in the 80s. It's a great thrill to find out it has been released on CD. I can now retire my worn out vinyl.

Heck, it's a great album.......2003-09-20

But if you're reading this review, you probably didn't get here by accident. Several great songs on here that you won't find on the compilations and 'best of' albums, like 'crazy job' and 'hell a'.
