Review by Mishka

New Clear Days is the debut studio album by British new wave band, The Vapors. Released in 1980, the album features ten tracks that showcase the band's unique blend of punk, rock, and pop.

The album opens with the hit single "Spring Collection," which is a catchy and upbeat song that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The album also includes other notable tracks such as "Turning Japanese," a song that has become a staple of 80s pop culture, and "Waiting for the Weekend," a lively and energetic track that perfectly captures the spirit of youth and rebellion.

One of the strengths of New Clear Days is the band's ability to blend different genres and styles seamlessly. The album features elements of punk, new wave, and pop, but it never feels disjointed or forced. Instead, the band manages to create a sound that is uniquely their own.
