Crush is a mild-mannered, soft-spoken new wave album that is most definitely the least exploratory of all O.M.D. recordings. A proper sign-off of for the new romantic movement ending in the mid-'80s, it's breezy, and slightly pleading. The signature tracks, "So in Love" and "Secret" are unassuming pop songs, teetering toward cute. Substance lies in the rich vocal arrangements. --Beth Bessmer
