About this album

Vulture Culture sharpens The Alan Parsons Project’s polished art-rock with melodic precision and a sharper lyrical edge. Issued in 1985, the album finds Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson balancing radio-friendly hooks with the project's trademark conceptual ambition, folding pop-rock accessibility into carefully arranged studio textures. Lead single 'Let’s Talk About Me' gave the record its most overtly commercial moment, while tracks such as 'Vulture Culture' and 'Hawkeye' underline the band’s interest in social observation and atmosphere. Arriving after a run of successful 1970s and early-80s albums, it shows how the project adapted its sound for the mid-1980s without losing its distinctive gloss.
