What once was cutting edge can easily lose its sharpness after the passage of time has aged its skin; similarly, what was already derivative can find its fleeting qualities drift away with each succeeding calendar. The Scottish band H2O were infatuated with Spandau Ballet; one can hear it in the fervent baritone of vocalist Ian Donaldson and in the funky riffs of "Success" and "All That Glitters (Rusts in Time)" from H2O's 1984 debut LP, Faith. The music on Faith has not dated well. The cheesy synths in "Leonard" and "Action" can even make the most devoted '80s aficionados question their enduring obsession. H2O tried to write catchy new wave pop songs, and they struck the bull's-eye with "Dream to Sleep," "Who'll Stop the Rain," and "It's in You." "Dream to Sleep" drifts on a cloud of immaculate keyboards, while "Who'll Stop the Rain" has a memorably hummable chorus and scrappy guitars. There is fire in Donaldson's voice, but unfortunately there isn't much discipline. Donaldson reaches for high notes too often in the absence of genuine lyrical hooks. Combining the booming voice of Paul Simpson of the Care and the Wild Swans with the romantic croon of Spandau Ballet's Tony Hadley, Donaldson's singing carries every track but it can't elevate the LP from the rust heap.
