Judge for yourselves:
They're a conceptual duo with a flair for flashy flamboyant fashion. And I'm an aardvark with awkward auspicious alliteration. They're more likely to be compared to more flamboyant acts such as Wham!. But I'm going a different direction.
Compare with another conceptual duo from the 80's: this is Tears for Fears' 89 classic, Sowing the Seeds of Love.
Man, this song is epic. They try to get a little too 'political' in this one, but if you can ignore all that and just enjoy the multi-tiered amazingness of this song, it all pays off, with the beautiful bridge sung by the other guy, whose name is not Roland.
a confused kid in the pre-beard stage of life wonders if this blogging thing is the beginning, or just the beginning of the end...

Dude, I fucking love that Empire of the Sun song and video. I think I'm hooked on it.
Is the rest of their stuff any good?
ha, and my response to your comment two months later, (since i didn't realize it existed until now), is that their other stuff is decent. Half Mast is my other favorite tune of theirs.
