The band's second compilation album, Ransomed Healed Restored Forgiven, released in 2020, features orchestral versions of the four singles spanned from Broadcast, plus the title track, this one in a version half the length of the original incarnation. In the early '90s, the first seven tracks were included in the compilation album The Best of Cutting Crew, along with select songs from the follow-up album The Scattering and the single "If That's the Way You Want It" from Compus Mentus. He said the album "never deserved the hacking received from critics", and said that "the slick guitar rock on Broadcast may not have wowed the rock & roll intelligentsia, but it's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, an underrated collection of simple, heartfelt love songs and up-tempo pop that reside between the stylistic boundaries of new wave and mainstream rock." He concludes the review by saying the album "is not a creative breakthrough", but is "simply an LP absent of any filler." In a retrospective review, Michael Sutton of AllMusic gave the album four stars. Despite all this, however, contemporary reception to the album was mixed from critics and muted commercially.īoth the album and the band have been looked upon more positively in hindsight.

Broadcast is not a creative breakthrough it's simply an LP absent of any filler. Cutting Crew somehow manages to incorporate guitar solos with the propulsive rhythms of U2 and the Fixx and the moody angst of Tears for Fears without sounding forced. ''One for the Mockingbird'' and ''Life in a Dangerous Time'' are armed with stellar hooks. ''Any Colour'' should've been Cutting Crew's third hit, a moving tale of loneliness that easily draws the listener in, while the lovely ''Sahara'' captures the subtleties critics claimed Cutting Crew wasn't capable of. Nick VanEede's soulful croon is mesmerizing on ''Any Colour'' and ''Sahara'' instead of bludgeoning the microphone with vocal histrionics common to late '80s rock, VanEede is thankfully restrained, imbuing every track with ample emotion. charts however, both songs aren't sufficient in summing up Broadcast's alan_parsonseal. ''(I Just) Died in Your Arms'' and ''I've Been in Love Before'' immediately thrust Cutting Crew onto the U.S. The slick guitar rock on Broadcast may not have wowed the rock & roll intelligentsia, but it's a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, an underrated collection of simple, heartfelt love songs and up-tempo pop that reside between the stylistic boundaries of new wave and mainstream rock. Music reviewers lined up to throttle Cutting Crew's debut album, Broadcast, when it was released in 1986. Notes: cover has a thin cutout US release (originally released in UK on 22 November 1986)Ĭutting Crew never deserved the hacking they received from critics.
