The four hundred and eighty-ninth album: #489 The Human League - Dare

It's always odd when an album's most known track closes the album - Don't You Want Me is track ten out of ten, but it feels bigger. Not that the remainder of the album doesn't meet the same poppy vibes, but it does sound that much darker - the lyrics can be incredibly nihilistic and some of the tracks go for a slow, dark sound that becomes quite threatening. It still doesn't feel like it's a divergence - the sounds mesh well together - but there's more to their tracks here than I expected based on what I knew of the band beforehand.
