Amoeba Review

Tiffany Anders 12/04/2010

For The Human League’s fifth studio album, 1986’s Crash, the band enlisted producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who had previously worked with Janet Jackson on her chart-topping album Control. The collaboration was commercially fruitful as it produced the group’s second number-one hit with the single “Human.” However, the pairing was not creatively sound—the group was less than thrilled with the recording experience. Founding member Philip Oakey was unhappy with the amount of control the producers had, and the group reportedly left after four months, leaving Jam and Lewis to finish the sessions with studio musicians. There is a markedly different feel to this album compared to the Sheffield-based new wave group’s previous releases, and it is apparent that this is not solely their vision (the two hits off the album were written by Jam and Lewis). The sound is striving more towards R&B than new wave. Nevertheless, there are undeniable moments on the album that more than make up for the sour experience. Those who enjoyed “Human” will no doubt appreciate this album. Those who are fans of the Human League’s hit “Don’t You Want Me” are best sticking to the earlier releases.
