Editorial Review:
It's unfortunate that this band was branded a one-hit wonder due to its famous rebel-love single "I Melt with You," contained on this album, because the remaining tracks are quite good as well: gripping and intelligent, a nostalgic pogo through scrawny, early '80s synth-punk. --Beth Bessmer

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Contains one of the greatest songs ever
There is definitely more than one great song on this album, definitely, but one of those songs is so great, so catchy, and so original that all the other songs can't help but look a little paler when placed next to it.
"I'll Melt With You" has seriously got to be one of the best songs ever--the "Don't Fear the Reaper" of 1980s New Wave--epic, anthemic, wildly structured, feel-good, and evidently made for driving and singing along. What a song! What a song.
"I'll Melt With You" is a ... Read More
Rating:  - One hit album maybe one hit wonder no way
It is April 2007 and for the 100th plus time I just finished listening to "After the Snow". I first heard this album, yes those large vinyl disks, when my frat brother brought it home in the hay day of MTV, It blew me away then and 22+ years later Modern English still does. If you love 80's alternative rock "After the Snow" is a must have. Put it in you CD player, turn off the lights, draw the curtains so you neighbors won't see you dance and get lost in the melodies and complex rhythms of Modern ... Read More
Rating: - Amazed.
I ,like many people, bought this album for I Melt With You. Being open minded about music I got the album and listened to all the songs in order. I skipped I Melt With You cause I love the song and I didn't want to get stuck on it my first time through. My jaw hit the floor. Most if not all the songs are just amazing. I would have gave it 5 stars but sometimes the words are hard to hear so you can't really hear what he's saying. It's not every song and only a few times. I recommend this album.
Rating: - More than "Melt With You"
"Melt With You" is synonymous with an era, no doubt about it. But should the album whence it sprang be relegated to oblivion?
I think not. While "Melt With You" might be early-80s pop of the moodiest and most perversely populist sort, the rest of the album is imbued with a personality of its own. "Life in the Gladhouse" is a stomping beast that gallops along to its own beat. "Dawn Chorus" and "Face of Wood" all have elements that linger in the recesses of memory. "Carry Me Down" is almost ...

Rating: - Record Execs Are Not Only Idiots, But Cruel
Record companies treated a band like Modern English as part of the new wave. Therefore they promoted "I'll Melt With You" when the new wave was hot and stopped promoting any other song by them after the new wave lost its popularity in the market. Idiots because Modern English wrote darn catchy songs. They could have been a hit machine and we could have had good music too listen to on the radio. But NO!!! They had to continue to shove crap down our throats and not even allow a band as good as MOdern ... Read More
