The 12th volume of Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's is much like its predecessor, containing a selection of big, big new wave hits balanced by lesser-known cuts, usually heard on MTV or, maybe, college radio. Really, this is too pop-oriented to be considered college radio-oriented, but there's still a number of cuts that straddle the line between mainstream and the barely hidden collegiate aspirations of other cuts. And while there is some filler here, there are some great moments that make it worth owning -- Culture Club's definitive "Karma Chameleon," Madness' "It Must Be Love," Spandau Ballet's "Gold," Paul Young's eerie "Come Back and Stay" (the best blue-eyed soul of the new wave era, by the way), Tracey Ullman's lovely girl group tribute "They Don't Know About Us," the Stray Cats' rockabilly raver "(She's) Sexy + 17," and the Fun Boy Three's original version of "Our Lips Are Sealed." Yeah, there are songs that don't make the cut here (who ever thought Cabaret Voltaire fit in this new wave retrospective?), but those that do make this collection very, very worthwhile. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
