Curious if anyone else is the same. I absolutely love the four 1980's NMA albums and they are all important to me, and would still in forced to choose pick "No Rest" as my all time favourite NMA album. Thing is, when I was younger, in the late 1980's I played those albums none stop. Back in the day of living with Mum / Dad, being in your late teens, you tend to be obsessed with your favourite band, and play their material none stop. When I play the 80's albums these days, I often get a feeling of "been here many times before", and hanker for the fresher sound of the newer material.
Have to admit, I do not play the first four, or indeed six albums all that often these days. It is a place I do like to visit from time to time, but mainly listen to later albums. Am I alone ?
