Our Take
Ah, Simple Minds, the quintessential Scottish band that has been rocking audiences for four decades. This compilation album, "40: The Best Of 1979-2019," is a celebration of their timeless music and enduring success. From their early hits like "Don't You (Forget About Me)" to more recent tracks like "Honest Town," this album takes listeners on a journey through the band's evolution. The infectious energy of lead singer Jim Kerr and the atmospheric soundscapes created by the band make for a truly captivating listening experience. One cannot help but bop along to the synth-pop goodness of hits like "Alive and Kicking" and "Waterfront." The way Simple Minds effortlessly blend anthemic choruses with moody, introspective lyrics is a testament to their songwriting prowess. While some may dismiss them as an '80s relic, this album proves that Simple Minds still have a lot to offer. Tracks like "Promised You a Miracle" and "See the Lights" showcase the band's ability to craft catchy, radio-friendly tunes that stick with you long after the album has ended. So, whether you are a die-hard fan or a newbie to the Simple Minds universe, "40: The Best Of 1979-2019" is a must-listen. It's a testament to the band's enduring legacy and a reminder of why they continue to be one of the most influential bands in British music history.
