About this album
How Men Are is one of Heaven 17’s sharpest and most assured albums, fusing glossy synth-pop with pointed social commentary. Released in 1984, it followed the success of the band’s early run and refined their balance of machine-driven rhythms, polished hooks and clipped, ironic lyrics. Songs such as Sun Set Now and And That’s No Lie show how Martin Ware and Glenn Gregory turned cold-wave precision into something both danceable and sceptical, with production that kept the arrangements streamlined and radio-ready. The album helped confirm Heaven 17 as one of the most distinctive British electronic-pop acts of the era.
