[edit] Review

Heaven Help You Now, NME, 19 October 1985
Through a storm of clattering keyboards, Paul Haig pushes his way past gangs of would-be Scottish popsters and makes a stridently jaunty and cocky return to pop form.

He sounds like he knows the game well enough to do the whole thing with his eyes shut; the difference here is he's learnt it's best to do this sort of thing with them open. This record is tuneful, jittery, exhausting and, I suspect, made by a man having difficulty in keeping a straight face.
