... Zillionaire! is very much an album of its time. Pockets of its thick, contemporary eighties production (most notably the ugly, pixelated drum opening to the otherwise-excellent "Fear Of The World" and the aforementioned "A to Z") sound dated. But it also served as a perfect reminder post-The Lexicon Of Love of not only the fantastic melody-making of White and the suave, easy-going precision of Fry's vocals, but also of ABC's acerbic, twinkle-in-the-eye lyrics that had been suffocated under the high-fa...more
