(4 out of 5 stars)

"Face It comes on the heels of the excellent Bloody Buccaners, and is nowhere near as good or consistent. There are some gems here, mainly the fast-paced, high energy rocker "Legalize Telepathy", "Freedom Don't Last Forever", a rocker which starts off slow beore taking off. "Maximum Make-Up" and "Johnny Make Believe" are the other ones that stand out. "Minute By Minute", on the other hand, is completely forgettable and uninspired, and I don't see anything good in the overrated "Angel".



I'd definetely recommend buying Bloody Buccaneers over this, which is an album with NO bad tracks. Last Blast Of The Century is a must have. You should also get The Continuing Story Of Radar Love along with NEWS, since GE's second-greatest (and unknown in the US) song, "When The Lady Smiles" can be found only on NEWS. Prisoner Of The Night is also another one to try, and if you like 80's music, don't rule out The Hole."
