Wang Chung - "Don't Be My Enemy"

Wang Chung - "Don't Be My Enemy": "Before they jumped the shark by 'Wang Chung-ing tonight', Wang Chung actually made a very catchy, non-cheesy synth-flecked suave pop-rock album in the form of Points On A Curve. 'Dance Hall Days' will always have a special place in my heart (as will the video with the disco ball babe and the suitcase with hot legs), but it's songs like this that make the record hold up. The sharp but jangly guitar hidden under the driving beat layered with tin pan and Eastern-style percussion provides singer Jack Hues with the proper backing to his own Miami Vice episode."
