Our Take

Human League's 'Dare' is a charmingly quirky album that will have you grooving to its infectious synth-pop beats. Released in 1981, this album may be over 40 years old, but its catchy hooks and up-tempo rhythms still hold up today.

Lead singer Phil Oakey's distinctive vocals soar over the pulsating synths in tracks like "Don't You Want Me" and "Love Action (I Believe in Love)," while the band's innovative use of electronic instrumentation sets them apart from their peers.

However, 'Dare' is not without its flaws. Some tracks feel a bit dated, and the reliance on synth-driven melodies can feel repetitive at times. But these minor missteps are easily forgiven when you're swept up in the sheer joy of tracks like "Open Your Heart" and "The Sound of the Crowd."

Ultimately, 'Dare' is a fun and entertaining listen that showcases Human League at the height of their powers. So grab your neon headband, crank up the volume, and prepare to dance the night away with this timeless classic. Just make sure to take a break now and then to catch your breath, because this album is guaranteed to get your heart pumping and your feet moving.

About the artist

The Human League

Human League - Synthpop Pioneers or Just a Bunch of '80s Relics? Ah, The Human League. The pioneers of synthpop have been gracing our ears since the late '70s, with their infectious hits and iconic electronic sound. But are they still relevant in today's music scene, or are they just a relic of the '80s, like a forgotten pair of leg warmers? Formed in Sheffield in 1977, The Human League quickly rose to fame with their breakthrough album "Dare" in 1981, which gave us the timeless classics "Don't You Want Me" and "Love Action". Their unique blend of catchy melodies and cutting-edge synth sounds set them apart from their peers, and cemented their place in music history. But fast forward to 2021, and the question remains: are The Human League still a force to be reckoned with? Well, their recent album "Credo" may not have set the charts on fire, but tracks like "Night People" and "Never Let Me Go" prove that they still have that magic touch when it comes to creating infectious pop tunes. Sure, their hairstyles may have changed (we miss those iconic mullets!), and their fashion sense may have evolved (thank god for that!), but one thing remains constant: The Human League are a band that knows how to make us dance, cry, and everything in between. So, next time you're feeling nostalgic for the '80s, or just fancy a good old-fashioned synthpop fix, why not give The Human League a spin? Who knows, you might just rediscover why they were one of the most influential bands of the decade.
