| | Later that year, the band released their debut album The Lexicon of Love. | | | Heavy on rhyming couplets and tales of unrequited love, the album was a big hit, reaching number one in the UK album charts. | | | "Love Conquers All", the first single, barely placed in the UK charts, though remixes of "Say It" were well received on the US dance charts. |

| | The Lexicon of Love was a most British romantic album, an album of love, longing and relationships. | | | The Lexicon of Love had been released in July, 1982 on the back of 3 top 20 singles with ïThe Look of LoveÍ peaking at number 4 in June. | | | A beautiful pop song, one which most closely mirrored the sounds and feelings of the pop symphonies of Lexicon. |

| | The bands follow up, "Beauty Stab" was a major departure from this album, and perhaps an attempt to acknowledge that despite the 14 additional musicians the band required to to perform the songs of "Lexicon of Love" on their first world tour, ABC actually had aspirations to be an honest to goodness guitar/drums/bass performing unit. | | | That this was the intention and design was made quite clear in the album liner, which featured what appeared to be lyrics to a song, but were in fact, snippets of lines from each of the songs placed together to form one continuous lyric. | | | The end result "Lexicon of Love" is one of the quintessential New Romantic recordings. |

| | As Fry yearns for that perfect love it all comes together into one auspiciously assembled musical package. | | | The dynamic sound of "Poison Arrow" (the second single)-with its percussive dance floor rhythms, big bold brass sound, insinuating piano coda and Fry's soulful vocal-should easily qualify it as one of the best songs of 1982. | | | Yet the album's most straight-forward romantic ballad, "All Of My Heart," suggests (on the other hand) that the impossible love can one day still come true. |

| | Martin Fry's fixation on the language of love and the look of his songs suggests that this album doesn't come entirely from the heart. | | | There are a million ways to say "I love you" in pop music, and Martin Fry, the singer and leader of ABC, has managed to cram many of them onto this dazzling debut album. | | | Fry, who wears his heart on his silk shirt sleeve like a giant diamond cuff link, flashes a Phil Spector-like armada of horns, synthesizers, strings, percussion and backup sirens as he compiles a pumping disco dictionary of sordid B-movie romantic maneuvers and smug sexual wordplay. |

| | ABC's next album saw the start of a slow decline, but Lexicon of Love had already made good on all their promises - and had hit number one to boot. | | | Once Fry joined as a singer, he took control of the band, changed their name, and forged an album full of musical contradictions that would stand as a high-water mark of Eighties pop. | | | The contribution of producer Trevor Horn (already famous with Buggles and later to work with Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Tatu) was key, but so too was the band's attitude. |

| | Originally released in 1982, the 'Lexicon Of Love' has always been considered one of the better albums of the New Romantic era. | | | The singles were as dazzling as the suits which they wore; the production as slick as the band members' nice hair. | | | Some of the album though is a bit too over-produced and sounds dated; 'Many Happy Returns' being a major culprit. |

| | David's lyrics can be read as a complete lexicon of heartbreak - from Scott Walker singing "And if the way I hold you/ Can't compare to his caress" to Dusty Springfield pleading "Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain/ I need your sweet love to ease all the pain". | | | On the other hand, closer examination of the songs reveals lyrics of surprising subtlety and sophistication. | | | But David's lyrics were also different because of the underlying sense of morality they contained: the sense of fair play, of decency, of honesty; the belief that What the World (really) Needs Now Is Love - not just for some, but for everyone. |

| | Easily one of the '80s' finest albums, THE LEXICON OF LOVE not only established singer Martin Fry and guitarist Mark White as two of the decade's smartest and most skillful cross-breeders of Motownish dance grooves, Beatlesque pop and Roxy Music-style art-rock urgency, it cemented ex-Buggle Trevor Horn's status as the era's defining producer. | | | ABC was the epitome of the flashy "new pop" sound that dominated the British charts in the first half of the '80s. | | | Throughout THE LEXICON OF LOVE, Horn's over-the-top blend of strings, horns, lush choirs and bizarre production tricks battles Fry's literate, witty lyrics and commanding voice and White's encyclopedic knowledge of pop hooks for the listener's attention. |

| | Homegrown soul produced by Trevor Horn and including the pop hit "Look of Love", The Lexicon of Love is bursting with hooks, clever lyrics and synthetic funk-inspired grooves that hold up better than most others from the early 1980s. | | | Such larger-than-life arrangements may seem over-the-top to some listeners, but as the soundtrack to a lexicon of love--how else would you expect it to sound? | | | From the lush string intro of 'Show Me', to the slightly menacing '4 Ever 2 Gether', this is pop perfection. |
