Hi

Road trips in Australia, full bore on an open highway, this whole album blazing as I whip the car around corners and pass trucks like I'm a low flying plane. "Do or die" as I'm heading for the next fuel stop, knowing I'll make it with fumes in the tank. Life was had day by day, fully expecting to get nuked as the Cold War suddenly became hot. Great memories. I miss the 80's so much.

18/19 years old in a nightclub after the customary Saturday night pub crawl and dancing to The Sound of the Crowd, urging people to get around town, knowing we were in that town was a little surreal

Quite Possibly The Best Album i ever Bought... 56 Year old Sat in my Kitchen on a Friday listening to it

1981 soooooo long ago but i love this music over anything today

My dad bought a vertical playing Mitsubishi record player, the amp and speakers were amazing. I will never forgot playing Human League 'Dare' and 'Love and Dancing'. My dad would go away for two weeks on the oil rig and I had the house all to myself. I was much happier then.

Life was certainly easier then- we could escape into our own world without the need for social media which quite frankly makes humans less social than ever.

One of the best really

This album is totally changed my life. I was 14, played bass in a young local rock group. On a day the radio played the Love Action. It was something new, unique. I stored their name in my memory. A few months later the radio played Don't you want me... I was in shock. It was completely new sound, a new sonic vision. I left my group next day and I switched to keyboards. Finally i worked in the music industry for 20 years, as session musician, composer, arranger, producer and sound engineer on 120 albums, includes numerous platinums and golds. Its all thanks to this album.

Do or die is a brilliant track ,takes me back to the early eighties when i was young .Still a fantastic album after forty years

This album is still one of the most important in my taste in music. to this day.

The 80s were a phenomenal time. Dare, Vienna, Non Stop Erotic Cabaret, Speak and Spell, Visage, Specials, Replicas, Peter Gabriels 'Melt' and 'So', U2's 'War', Eliminator, Avalon, Pretenders, Tracey Chapman, Born in the USA, Thriller. And they're just the ones that spring to mind. Never has pop music gone in so many fantastically different directions simultaneously.

2nd favourite album of 1981 behind Kraftwerk's Computerworld' album. Favourite tracks ' Sound of the Crowd'( in my top 20 singles of all time), ' Love Action' & 'Seconds'. Wanted to see The League in December '81 at Stafford Bingley Hall. But the snowy weather was that bad, I didn't get there.

Brilliant album

Still sounds fresh after 40+ years.Great music and production.

I taped Seconds off the radio in 1981. First song I ever heard from Human League and still my favorite. I always assumed it was about Hinkley shooting John Lennon and was frankly a bit disappointed when I found out it was actually about Kennedy.

Jahrgang 67, das Album ewig nicht gehört und kenne immer noch alle Songs auswändig, was für ein Hammeralbum, immer noch!

Seen them a couple of times and going to see them again at Wembley arena, London, December 2021😁😁😁

Haha I just had all my grandkids dancing and laughing to “The sound of the crowd.” Giggling and jiggling. So damned cute. Thanks for the memories while we make new ones.

ONE OF MY FAV ALBUMS OF THE 80s.

A ground breaking record in so so many ways that stands the test of time. Owes as much to the production genius of the late Martin Rushant as the songs themselves

Um dos albuns mais importantes dos anos 80 e sem duvida fundamental para entender a new wave e definir tudo o que veio depois em termos de tecnopop

masterpiece of electronic sound. I remember of some Bowie's interview during a summer festival in Sheffield back in 70ies when he stated about Human League that he was watching the future of electronic music. He was right, as usual. Their best album.
