Seemingly unfazed by Watch Dog's failure,
Shear again produces a slick pop delight in
Eternal Return.
Shear explores a more soulful side in songs like "Steady" and the yearning "You're Not Around" while perfecting his hook-laden melodies. Despite being perfectly in line with the mid-'80s sound, this one also slipped through the cracks.
The Bangles would later find a hit in the leadoff track, "If She Knew What She Wants." ~ Chris Woodstra
