Consumer Guide Reviews:
Hi Infidelity [Epic, 1980]
I'm not saying they deserve the biggest seller of their crummy era. But however meaningless the results, they do know something about the hook and the readymade.

The Hits [Epic, 1988]
Let history record that they got better--pioneers of AOR schlock-rock schlock-pop, they were honoring Fleetwood Mac and the Doobie Brothers by the time of Hi Infidelity. Let history also record that they then got worse. C
Further Notes:
Distinctions Not Cost-Effective [1970s]: When the banality achieves a certain density, I thought, velocity no longer matters. Then they began to score hit ballads.
