Our Take

Ah, Mr. Mister, the band with a name that sounds more like your local hardware store manager than a group of 80s pop-rock crooners. Their 1985 album "Welcome to the Real World" is a rollercoaster of dramatic ballads and infectious hooks that will have you questioning if you've accidentally walked into a John Hughes movie soundtrack.

The album opens with the catchy hit single "Broken Wings", a song that practically screams '80s prom slow dance'. With its soaring vocals and emotive lyrics, it's hard not to get swept up in the nostalgia of it all. But don't let the schmaltzy ballads fool you, Mr. Mister show off their edgier side with tracks like "Uniform of Youth" and "Run to Her", proving they've got a lot more bite than their name might suggest.

Lead singer Richard Page's distinctive vocals provide a smooth, velvety contrast to the band's punchy instrumentals, creating a sound that is both familiar and unique. The production on the album is slick and polished, with just the right amount of '80s sheen to make you feel like you're in a neon-lit nightclub.

Overall, "Welcome to the Real World" is a fun, quirky album that will have you singing along and tapping your feet in no time. Whether you're a die-hard '80s fan or just looking for some feel-good tunes, Mr. Mister's sophomore effort is sure to delight. Welcome to the real world, indeed.
