Huey Lewis and the News' album Fore! is an infectious blend of rock, soul, and a cappella, underscored by Lewis's charismatic vocals. The album is not musically complex; while the sound is simple, it is also tight, and showcases the band's genuine talent and chemistry. While hits like "Hip to Be Square" and "Simple as That" offer a sound that is both nostalgic and upbeat, they also sing lyrics that walk the line between extolling and indicting 1980s values. That Fore! musically reflects the optimistic pulse of the mid-'80s while lyrically satirizing it makes it a must-listen for fans of the Janus-faced decade.
