Sugar Tax

by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

Overview

Sugar Tax is the first album OMD recorded without Paul Humphreys, and while the record is less adventurous than most of the group's previous albums, that's not necessarily due to his absence. Instead, OMD began a slow decline into light soul-inflected synth-pop in the late '80s, and Sugar Tax, while thoroughly competent, is nothing more than predictably refined and pleasant dance-pop.
