Avec The Age Of Consent, Bronski Beat incarnait une certaine idée de l’Angleterre des années 1980, lorsque Londres était encore la ville où se faisaient les groupes qui comptent.
Porte parole de la communauté homosexuelle (communauté alors associée au clubbing dans l’esprit citadin de l’époque), Bronski Beat, comme Boy Georges, Wham ! ou – occasionellement – Queen avait pour but de banaliser le milieu gay, à défaut de le faire totalement accepter.
Et quel meilleur état d’esprit pour cela que la fête? « It Ain’t Necessarily So » et « Smalltown Boy » furent deux énormes cartons des discothèques, mêlant la Synthpop et la New-Wave, morceaux clairement festifs, mais dissimulant mal une certaine revendication, sinon pour droit à la différence, tout au moins pour celui à l’indifférence.
L'album contient un des plus grands classiques de discothèque de tous les temps, le duo avec Marc Almond sur « I Feel Love,Johnny Remember Me ». Cette reprise de Donna Summer et d'un classique de John Leyton (No 1 en 1961) est augmenté de passages de « Love to Love You Baby », toujours de Donna Summer. Il est qualifié à sa sortie « d'hymne à la gaytitude » tant Jimmy Sommerville et Marc Almond s'en donnent à cœur joie et rivalisent de minauderies.
Reflet de son époque, l’album accuse son âge (du fait, notamment du recours systématique aux synthétiseurs qui apportent une « eighties touch » indéniable), mais reste l’un des monuments d’un certain underground « made in London ».
