Simple Minds - Sanctify Yourself

dljh1964

Review by Darin Jolliffe-Haas

Sanctify Yourself is the ninth studio album by Simple Minds, released in 1986. The album features a more polished and commercial sound than their previous works, with a focus on catchy hooks and anthemic choruses.

The album's title track, "Sanctify Yourself," is a standout hit with its driving rhythm and uplifting lyrics. Other highlights include "All the Things She Said," with its infectious synth riff, and "Ghostdancing," a powerful rock anthem that features a guest appearance by Lou Reed.

Summary by Darin Jolliffe-Haas

Sanctify Yourself is a solid effort from Simple Minds that showcases their ability to write memorable pop songs while still retaining their signature sound. It may not be their most groundbreaking work, but it's certainly an enjoyable listen for fans of 80s pop rock.

No one can sanctify themselves only the true Born Again Christians are because of the Holy Ghost within us and it's not of yourself even then it's still only God in you yourself when you have the Holy Ghost in you through Jesus Christ whom has sent HIM inwardly that's how it works that's the only way it works you cannot do it without Christ because we can't do anything without Christ and without the Holy Ghost and Heavenly Father
