A Flock of Seagulls (Expanded Edition)

Gunnar

**💭 Thoughts:** A Flock of Seagulls’ self-titled debut begins with “I Ran (So Far Away)”, a song that is arguably one of New Wave’s best and most iconic, however apart from a couple other songs, the rest of the track list does appear to keep up with it, and they are the only reason the album is holding together in anyway at all. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.)
