About this album

Pleasure Victim is the sleek synth-pop breakthrough that turned Berlin into one of the defining electronic-rock acts of the early 1980s. Released in 1982, the album blends icy keyboards, crisp drum machines and Terry Nunn’s cool, expressive vocals into a sharply focused sound that helped bring new wave into the mainstream. Anchored by the enduring singles “The Metro” and “Sex (I’m A...)”, it balances pop immediacy with a darker, more nocturnal mood than many of its era. The record became Berlin’s commercial calling card and remains widely regarded as a landmark of American synth-pop.
