Our Take

Ah, Black & White 050505, the album that's as mysterious as its title! Simple Minds are back, and they're serving up a mixed bag of musical delights on this one.

From the soaring synths of "Stay Visible" to the haunting vocals of "Stranger," this album is a rollercoaster of emotions. It's like being on a first date with a moody teenager - you never quite know what you're going to get next.

But don't let the title fool you - this album is anything but simple. It's a complex tapestry of sound that will have you nodding your head one minute and scratching it in confusion the next.

One standout track is "Home," a slow-building ballad that showcases Jim Kerr's powerful vocals as he croons about longing and loss. It's the kind of song that you'll want to listen to on repeat while staring wistfully out the window.

Overall, Black & White 050505 is a solid effort from Simple Minds, showcasing their versatility and staying power in the ever-changing music industry. It's not their best work, but it's definitely worth a listen for fans of the band or anyone looking to add a dash of mystery to their music collection.

So put on your headphones, close your eyes, and let Simple Minds take you on a journey through the black and white world of 050505. You won't regret it. Or maybe you will. Who knows? It's all part of the fun.
