In some ways, its majestic structure, lush instrumentation, and gradual ascending dynamics may be likened to that of A-ha’s “The Sun Always Shines on T.V.,” The Fixx’s “Red Skies,” and U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name.” Next is the other unforgettable song of the band, “Broken Wings,” where Page and the rest of Mr. Mister’s style, are all there – the cascading synthesizer melodies, the grating guitars, the big drum sound, the steady bass, and the soaring vocals. The next song needs no further ado – “Kyrie,” the album’s highlight – all the ingredients of a perfect Power Pop song, Mr. “Is It Love?” is certainly an ear-catcher, starting like a Synthpop dance-floor teaser that has a hint of New Order’s “Your Silent Face,” owing to the bouncy synth-bass line in the intro, only to return to the band’s trademark guitar-oriented Power Pop.
Mister steps on the accelerator once again with “Into My Own Hands.” Just as the listener is most likely about to fall in a state of dreary daydream, Mr. Here, the soulful, silky voice of Vocalist Page subtly surfaces in somber splendor. The mood shifts to low gear as the synthesizer-smooth ballad “Run to Her” plays on. It shares a similar sonic energy with ’80s Pop Rock stompers like “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor, “Heat of the Moment” by Asia, and “Your Love” by The Outfield.
Following next is the funky and choppy rhythm of the arpeggio-rich “Uniform of Youth,” which stands out with its imposing guitar adlib and scaling keyboard melody. Mister with the likes of fellow big-sound Post-Punk/New Wave bands like The Armoury Show (“We Can Be Brave Again”), Big Country (“In a Big Country”), Cactus World News (“Years Later”), Ten Ten (“When It Rains”), Tuesday Blue (“Love Me Simple”), and Simple Minds (“Alive & Kicking”). The album opens dramatically with the symphonic introduction of “Black/White,” whose big drum sound, bombastic guitar layers, cascading synthesizer melodies, full-sounding bass, and soaring vocals make for a superb album opener. Mister, which was formed in 1982, in Arizona, United States, by Richard Page (vocals/bass), Steve George (keyboards / backing vocals), Pat Mastelotto (drums/percussion), and Steve Farris (guitars / backing vocals). Originally released on November 27, 1985, Welcome to the Real World is the second studio album of Mr.
Mister’s breakthrough album, which contained “Broken Wings” and “Kyrie,” here is an in-depth analysis of Welcome to the Real World, in commemoration of its thirtieth release anniversary. Mister, which many listeners remember virtually for only the chart-topping songs “Broken Wings” and “Kyrie.” Unfortunately, because of the massive popularity that these songs achieved, they also inevitably overshadowed not only the rest of the album where they came from but also the band itself and its entire discography, which consists of four studio albums: I Wear the Face (1984), Welcome to the Real World (1985), Go On… (1987), and Pull (2010). So now, to pay homage to Mr. However, because of the advent of the Internet, which boosted the availability of information, helped unearth such buried treasures, and revived the music-making careers of such bands, many of these once-forgotten albums have begun being given another breath of life and chance for new music fans (even longtime ones) to appreciate them.
