Flash And The Pan - Headlines
Review by Duncan McCormick
Flash and the Pan's third album, Headlines, is a masterclass in new wave and post-punk. Released in 1982, it showcases the band's signature sound that blends electronic and rock elements seamlessly.
The album opens with the hit single "Waiting for a Train," which features a catchy synth riff and a driving beat. The song's lyrics tell a story of loneliness and longing, perfectly capturing the mood of the era. Other standout tracks include "Down Among the Dead Men," which features a moody guitar riff that builds into a soaring chorus, and "Media Man," a scathing critique of the media's obsession with sensationalism.
Throughout the album, the band's songwriting and production are top-notch. The songs are well-crafted and catchy, with memorable hooks and choruses. The production is clean and polished, with a crisp sound that perfectly complements the band's musical style.
