Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Welcome to the Pleasuredome
(1984) DZ RIP @ 320
Strip away all the hype, controversy, and attendant craziness surrounding Frankie - most of which never reached American shores, though the equally bombastic “Relax” and “Two Tribes” both charted well - and Welcome to the Pleasuredome holds up as an outrageously over-the-top, bizarre, but fun release.
Holly Johnson needs to make a mark and does so with appropriately leering passion. He didn’t quite turn out to be the new Freddie Mercury, but he makes a much better claim than most, combining a punk sneer with an ear for hyper-dramatic yelps.
