Customer Reviews

Easily The Worst Ultravox Album
Would agree with Daniel Eaves in pretty much everything in his review. When this came out I was a massive Ultravox fan - I had loved the Lament album and Love's Great Adventure single(and for both still do). Loved the tracks, loved the artwork, loved the videos. Same Old Story came out on 12" and I bought it - thought it was OK in a poppy way - very unlike Ultravox really with female backing singer vocals very prominent in the mix for example. Thought the platic 12" cover was unusual too. Then the album - more plastic cover (the Ltd edition I think) and strange day-go colours. Thought the pinky red colour was vile and very un-Ultravox. The tracks - not good really - ranging from OK - Same Old Story, Dream On and Sweet Surrender to absolutely awful in Moon Madness and All Fall Down. I don't know what happened here in the recording process but it was a real shame that 4 superb studio albums were followed by this. It might as well be a different band almost. That said I'll probably get this at some point for completeness and the OK tracks are ....well OK. But compared to masterworks like Rage in Eden and Lament - well there is no comparison.

And there were three......
After a cracking performance at Live Aid, Ultravox returned to the studio in '86 and BANG! it all went horribly wrong.
Warren Cann was crazily fired and the result was U-Vox which even Midge Ure and Billy Currie have since dismissed as a weak effort!
Not a lot can be said about this album, it really isn't the best. Some good tracks but no chemistry on it, little focus, the songs dont flow aat all plus also so damn awful tracks! Personal favourites for me are Sweet Surrender and Dream On (the only one on here that sounds like an Ultravox song), the singles Same Old Story, All Fall Down and All in One Day are in my opinion "not bad" but if listened to on the new "best of" show their weakness after all the 80-84 classics, other then that it's the album to gather dust from the Ultravox catalogue. Awful artwork too.
Shame but worth buying to complete the collection AND I admit I'm looking forward to the live recordings from Glasgow very much.
I hope they're splitting the royalties from this remaster 4 ways with Warren as an apology ;-)

My teenage pain
There's nothing better than when your favourite band releases an amazing album with a great sleeve, just at the right moment. This unfortunately was the complete opposite of what happened when Ultravox released U-Vox. There's nothing worse than trying to convince yourself that an album you've waited for isn't as bad as you first thought. But nothing could save the disaster that was U-Vox. Just looking at the bright pink sleeve was enough to know that something wasn't right. Why had they stopped using Peter Saville and created a cover that looked like something from a Habitat catalogue? By 1986, the electronic bands of the early 80's either moved up the next level (Depeche Mode, New Order) or headed downhill (Ultravox, OMD, Human League). A shame that Ultravox seemed to be now influenced more by the current successes of Dire Straites and Phil Collins. A sad end. 23 years on and I still remember the disappointment. Shame.
