Critic's Review
Keith Farley, All Music Guide
Quiet Life is the album that transformed Japan from past-tense glam rockers into futuristic synth popsters, though they'd been leaning in that direction for a while. It's also a solid proto-new romantic synthesizer record, enhanced by Mick Karn's superb fretless-bass work and David Sylvian's smooth, sneering vocals spread over pop hits like the title track and "Fall in Love with Me." [This version of the album includes bonus material.]
