...gut...
****
Stimmt, dem kann ich mich nur anschliessen, das trifft es eigentlich ganz gut. Flotter Song aus ihrer früheren Phase, der jedoch nicht an ihre Knaller von Mitte und Ende 80er Jahre ran kommt.
****
gut
****
...okay...
***
1981 "The American" #59 UK
****
Ein durchschnittlicher Song aus den Anfangsjahren von Simple Minds. Der Refrain ist ein besonderes Merkmal von "The American". Jim Kerr war schon damals mit seiner Simme gut.
*****
Live gesehen, live gehört, einfach gigantisch wie das gesamte Originalalbum, nicht das Best Off
**
auch das gibt es mal bei den Simple Minds (2-Sterne-Wertung),schnell abhaken

in der tat, die nummer ist besonders schlecht, wie auch mühsam..
*****
gute single von früher
*****
Erinnert an andere Bands der 80er. Solid und gut.
*****
Ziemlich guter Song aus einer Zeit, in der die Simple Minds noch keinen Arena-(Pop-)Rock machten.
****
Da gibt es bessere Stücke auf dem Album "Sister Feelings Call".
****
so war eben der Sound der S. M. zu dieser Zeit, mir gefallen die späteren Songs aber besser
****
Mir ein wenig zu "hackig" für die ansonsten mystisch sanften Simpls Minds.
*****
einer der besten Songs der ersten Tage!
*****
Knap nummer uit de beginperiode. Experimenteel en bevreemdend.
******
klasse<br><br>17.12.16: Nach Hören der Akustik-Version wird mir klar welche Perle das ist. 5 => 6.

Okay
*****
Das Stück hat schon fast Kultcharakter unter New Wavern,<br>verstehe aber durchaus, dass der polarisiert, der Refrain<br>kann halt schon auch ein bisschen nerven....<br><br>Ich find's ehrlich gesagt ziemlich cool.
***
Nichts mehr Besonderes von ihnen.

dieses Stück aus anfangs der 80er hätte man noch etwas zurechtschleifen können – 3.75...
*
Schrott
*****
Sehr guter Song.
*****
Der Refrain kann auf Dauer tatsächlich etwas penetrant werden, sonst aber eine wunderbare, kraftvolle Nummer. 5* kommen klar hin.
*****
erg mooi nummer uit de begintijd
*****
▒ Apart, maar voor die tijd een zeer modern, plaatje uit de lente van 1981 door de: "Simple Minds", een Schotse newwavepopgroep opgericht in 1978 door: "Jim Kerr" en "Charlie Burchill" !!! Vooruit, het voordeel van de twijfel: 5 sterren ☺!!!
*****
Gutes Lied, welches ich auf einer alten Aufnahmecassette gefunden habe.
****
<br>War ihre zweite UK Chart Single und klingt nicht mal so übel.
*****
Een zeer sterke portie muziek van Simple Minds.
*****
ich finde nicht, dass der Song so typisch 80er Jahre ist. Klingt irgendwie bisschen innovativ. THE FLY von U2 erinnert mich daran.
***
Mittelmäßig, wie vieles von der Band.
****
Bin jetzt auch kein Fan der Band, sie haben ne Hand voll starke Singles rausgebracht, den Rest fand ich dann aber immer eher mittelmässig - wie eben diese 81er Single hier!
*****
Voordat de hits in Nederland kwamen leverden de Simple Minds al toffe nummers aF. Zoals deze (UK 59, hun hoogste notering tot dan toe, na eerder niet verder te zijn gekomen dan 62)
****
gut
****
Solide nummer.
