History
Beginning with their third disc, Seasons of Love, and in order to have a sound more amiable for live performances, the band's musical style shifted away from synthpop toward hard rock. Seasons of Love, released in 1990 and the first disc to feature Brent Gordon on guitar, was the band's highest charting album. The band's switch to hard rock was jarring for some people. It features some very aggressive and energetic songs, including "Promised Land" and "So Insane", both of which deal with drug abuse. The album in general had the band being compared to The Cult, Danzig and The Cure.
This album was reissued by KMG Records in 1999 on a "two-for-one" disc with Mad at the World.
