OMD [Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark]: Universal (1996)


Much like the Liberator record, I find this to be far less interesting OMD. Allmusic agrees:

"Universal is a rote collection of synth-pop and dance-pop from OMD, demonstrating only a fraction of the sophisticated craft that made its predecessor Liberator enjoyable, and none of the adventurous spirit of their '80s records." [source]
Incidentally, I once heard an interview with OMD, after they reformed, and Paul said he really likes this record. It could be that I have just not listened to this record enough.
