About this album

Translator is a sharp power pop statement from The Aliens, balancing punchy melodies with a slightly off-kilter edge. Issued in 1980, the album sits comfortably between rock immediacy and pop concision, with the band leaning on tight arrangements, crisp guitar lines and memorable choruses rather than excess. Its mix of wit and urgency gives the record a distinctive personality within the power pop field, making it one of the more characterful albums to emerge from the style’s late-’70s and early-’80s surge. For listeners drawn to compact, song-led rock with plenty of bite, Translator remains an appealing deep cut.
