8.9

“30th anniversary reissue of Dexys' debut album chronicles the first of four distinct versions of the band led by the ferocious perfectionist Kevin Rowland.”

8.2

“Dexys Midnight Runners' debut album is couched in effusive instrumentation, spread across such a variance of songs, and infused with such sincerity that it never feels as pedantic or instructive as it otherwise could.”
