in my continuing quest for the best new-retro album, vhs or beta might come out on top. it's appropriate that night on fire is available on the same day that U2 releases a new album because at times the new vhs or beta sounds like the old U2. not like the alarm did, but like U2 did. they also sound like Duran Duran and a host of other bands from the 80's, not to mention some disco bands from the 70's - but the bottom line is, they do it with some solid songwriting, a DOD delay pedal and a drum clap track that would make the Cars jeolous.
