Being a huge fan of Soft Cell, I loved this album when it first came out. It is the follow up to "Non Stop Erotic Cabaret" the duo's debut.

Listening to it today, It still sounds good but at the same time, a little dated here and there. Some of the songs also run a little long and some sound completely 80ish.

The CD as a whole has a more sinister tone then their debut. While "Non Stop Erotic Caberet" sounds as though they had a blast making it, Art of Falling Apart" sounds a bit more like it was a chore. This is not to say it isn't a good Soft Cell offering. Songs such as "Forever the same", "Martin", "Heat", "loving You, Hating Me" are highlights. Then there is the demented "Baby Doll" which demonstrates just how twisted these guys really are. {in a good way}
