This was another major U.K. chart hit, as Ultravox milked their "Vienna"-inspired success for all it was worth. Sadly, Rage in Eden is as pretentious and unwieldy as its title would suggest. Both "The Thin Wall" and "I Remember (Death in the Afternoon)" are stunningly overblown and self-satisfied. Midge Ure's lyrics are particularly at fault here -- a shame, because the music itself is extremely good in parts. This was their last album produced in collaboration with Conny Plank; thereafter Ultravox would experience a steady commercial decline.
