ABOUT
As some critics say, "the most Oingo Boingo album they ever created", which I never really understood. I guess what they actually mean is that Nothing To Fear has its own unique style more fleshed out than any other Oingo Boingo album. It's also probably the most liked album by the public.
MY OPINION
Personally I love it a lot, it has two of my favourite Oingo Boingo songs (the 5th and 6th track) and it feels like it's trying to get into your head. Maybe that's because of "Grey Matter" being the opening song. I'm forever sad that they decided to change the length and the mix of the "Private Life" because I like the extended version way more; the xylophone in the song is genuinely making it so much better when it's not barely audible. I don't understand what made them change it.
