who else likes it. The Lexicon of Love is so good the best work by ABC and Trevor Horns best production. one of the best albums by any band ever. i dont see any other band mixing differnt genres so well.

My 2nd favorite album of all time. Thanks so much for bringing this up, dude! I can listen to this album and never get tired or it. Martin Fry is a lyrical genius and the band never sounded better.

Amazing record!

i also never get tired of it iam an addict. He's one of the best singers the uk has ever produced. hes very undrrated.

Yes, very very underrated.


25 years ago, can you believe it?

really 25 years wow. date stamp is posably my fave track, however its to hard to pick

paper said:

That's a fucking great song! Man, they're all great songs. It's one of those albums where every track is unskippable!

Quite possibly one of the best pop albums ever recorded. Unfortunately, this album and band are highly underrated and underappreciated in the states. Yet another victim of the machine that is America's lightspeed-moving music trends -- never appreciating the music or style long enough for it to grow some roots. I digress... ABC's Lexicon is a fantastic pop album -- a tribute to the band, Martin Fry's voice and, most importantly, the sound (Trevor Horm's production). It's really impossible to skip a track on this album. I highly recommend the Deluxe remastered two-disc version, which (I believe) is only available as an import in the US. It has loads of extras and the sound quality is much improved from the original release. Horn produced many great albums, but this has to be one the best. Glad to see some others on the org that appreciate ABC and Trevor Horn.

Loved it.....

NWF said:

i've thought of getting this album before. so you guys recommend? what is it like? new wave? r&bish?

Its a mix of R'N"B, Funk, Disco, and New wave and Pop.
Hard to discribe really. BUT I RECOMEND EVERYBODY TO GET IT, ITS GOOD FOR THE EARS.

wow that sounds fresh! i was going to buy morris day's color of success cd today but should i buy this instead?

dancerella said:

YES! GO OUT AND GET IT NOW! I INSIST!!!!

If you're a New Wave lover, you will love it!

I can't believe I had to argue with an orger about how this was better than "Beauty Stab". I don't think ABC has ever topped this album even if they did have some worthy albums later on like "How to be a Zillionaire" or "Beauty Stab".

is this the album with "Poison Arrow"? That's my favorite song by ABC


shoot that poison arrow through my heeearrrtttt
shoot that poison arrow
shoot that poison arrow through my heeeaaarrtttt
shoot that poison arrow

This album also includes "The Look Of Love".I'm gonna have to buy this one!

yes it has poison arrow and its there best album and the best album by any 80's New Wave\pop band. one of the best albums ever created.

If my memory serves me right, they had some nice 12" remixes also.

The Poison Arrow 12" is garbage though.

lilgish said:

Oh you mean that jazz remix. Eh, it wasn't that bad.

Very underated group of the 80's! Nice group!

lilgish said:

They had a few releases as 12".

NWF said:

i love me some new wave! alright damnit i'll have to pick this up. how does it compare to adam ant's prince charming cd?

you carnt compare ABC beats Adam Ant

paper said:

don't think so.

dancerella said:

There really is no comparison. Sure, both are inspired by Punk as well as Black music, but they've gone about in different ways.

lilgish said:

hmmm....i see a debate coming on!

promises, promises

ABC love them!!

Um, I believe that's Naked Eyes you're singing.

NWF said:

we'll have to do another thread on that song

I'm glad you brought this up! I feel like I'm the only person in the world with a copy of the USA-DUB mix of "The Look Of Love." It was released domestically on the Mercury label. It's a "trippy" version of the song using a lot of studio tricks by Trevor Horn. Anybody else know this version?
