Lovely album - probably my favourite "80s album by an 80's band". So I've given it an 8 out of 10.
1 Out of 10 Fit for the Dustbin
2 Out of 10 Maybe ok on the Dustpan
3 Out of 10 Worth leaving on the Floor Awhile
4 Out of 10 Worth Listening to Again
5 Out of 10 Ummm!!! Not too Bad
6 Out of 10 Actually pretty Good
7 Out of 10 Will have to Play that Again
8 Out of 10 Really very Good Indeed
9 Out of 10 Excellent
10 Out of 10 Worth getting a Tattoo of the album cover put on your body

I reckon this must be the best scoring Album Club choice so far, with only one person giving it less than 6 - and 81% of the vote to 7/10 and above... I gave it 8 - a favourite album of mine. Now off to dig out my vinyl copy of Wishful Thinking - the remix album, though not officially supported by the group I believe - http://open.spotify.com/album/75wUwdEehpxHNJGUcOpozp - (those of you like me who used to religiously watch the RAC Lombard Rally coverage on the BBC every year will recognise "Jewelled" the remix of Duel/Jewel.

Some of those 'Wishfull Thinking' remixes are headache inducing - all drum and bass for effect.
