专辑介绍
by William Ruhlmann
For their fourth album, From Luxury to Heartache, Culture Club jettisoned producer Steve Levine in favor of pop/R&B veteran Arif Mardin, seeking to reverse the commercial decline they had suffered with their third album. When the danceable leadoff track, &Move Away,& rose into the singles chart, that seemed like a good decision, and the rest of the album followed through with a pronounced drum sound and a relentless beat. The group's flamboyance was played down in an attempt to redefine Culture Club as dancefloor favorites. But previously the group had enjoyed a broad-based pop appeal, and by focusing on one part of their constituency, they ultimately sacrificed the rest. What's more, to make this kind of music, you didn't need a group; all you needed was a lead singer and some synthesizers. No wonder Boy George went solo before the year was out.

- @Tintoys：这张专辑就move away 成为hits
- @sonywu(你喂我吃垃圾 我就在垃圾...)：尽管这张专辑 boy George的声音已经因为药物吸食的问题而变了，而且演唱也有些不稳定，但很多歌都非常有自己的特点，非常让我代入其中，多希望他们这个组合这一段的寿命能长一些…这是他们的黄金岁月，最年轻最多新创作激情，最有合作火花的时段，往后再怎么重组，都再也不能重回这时的感觉，至少，是boy George的soulful voice
- @微微(英洋歌姬)：Culture Club合唱团是一支英籍的四人团体，1981年成立於伦敦，由喜爱作女装打扮的Boy George担任主唱，在1982年底以「Do You Really Want To Hurt Me」轰动全球，并於次年夺得「年度最佳新进艺人」葛莱美奖。1987年乐团解散。90年代后有重组，又发行过数张唱片。
