I joined up late (What Up Dog?), so I would like to know if the group made a huge departure from their usual style on this album, or if there is Was (Not Was) music yet to be discovered.

Well, the great (or, to some, infuriating) thing about Was (Not Was) is that they don’t HAVE a “style.” They’ve played all kinds of styles, from the sublime to the silly, and are full of surprises.
To me, their best album ever was “Born to Laugh at Tornadoes.” A very eclectic mix of styles and a host of surprising guest artists (many of them from in or around Detroit, home of Don & David Was). It even has a nifty rap number by… Ozzy Osbourne?
Give it a listen. I won’t blame you if you hate it (many people I’ve recommended it to have), but you may add it to your all time top ten list!
