The Outfield - Play Deep (1985)

Country: United Kingdom
Genre: Pop Rock
Label Number: CK 40027

© 1985 Columbia Records
AllMusic Review by Mike DeGagne
Play Deep, the Outfield's debut album, contains a couple of singles that settled quite nicely into mid-'80s radio. Guided by Tony Lewis' airborne vocals and John Spinks' regimented guitar bluster, they managed to place two of the album's best songs within Billboard's Top 20. "Your Love" made it all the way to the number six spot in March of 1986, thanks to Lewis' high-pitched holler that dominates the opening of the song and a harmonious chorus that is overly smooth and rock savvy. Peaking at number 19 four months later, "All the Love in the World" is an unblemished rock tune with an effectively echoed vocal track, again highlighting the band's sweet-sounding consonance mixed in with rugged guitar work. The uncharted material sounds just as fluent and is anything but filler, especially efforts like "Say It Isn't So" and "I Don't Need Her," along with slower songs like "Everytime You Cry." Play Deep is a worthy first release from this British trio, led by a novel guitar and vocal concoction

  2. Hey guys, all of the FLAC links to evassmat aren't working - it always gives the message that the connection was reset. This is true for basically all of the music using evassmat links for FLAC. :( Can you fix this, please? Thanks!

  3. The Spambot is wrong - evassmat.com's server IP address cannot be resolved and the domain doesn't respond to basic ping tests. There are a whole bunch of inaccessible FLAC links on your site. :)

    1. Unfortunately for you, we agree with our bot. I just checked the links through my PC and found no errors. Now unless you're on something like Internet Explorer or Edge, we cannot help you. We don't monitor those browsers at all. You didn't provide any browser info as well. The links were checked using Opera and Google Chrome. As far as "a whole bunch of links" being inaccessible, I checked and they are all working. Assuming you aren't on IE or Edge, instead of using a ping test on Windows CMD line, try refreshing/reloading the actual error web page instead. The captures also recorded the error page in question on Google Chrome. I reloaded the page and I was able to pass through. The captures are available below.
