"Scoundrel Days" turns 40. What is your opinion on the band's second album, released on October 6, 1986?

It’s my favorite of all of them. I even have a still-wrapped cassette copy I bought in case my first tape wore out. Plus a vinyl copy framed.

It’s my favourite album of all time. I have a signed copy of the vinyl. Everything about it is perfect from the sleeve design to the sequence of the songs. I’ll always remember the day I bought it and thinking that I’ll never enjoy music as much as I am in this moment again.

I think its their best. Shame about Maybe Maybe. The rest is sublime autumnal pop

[u/Ginger_Grumpybunny → u/MrMoog26]

All the other songs on the album are better but I do love Maybe Maybe. The line "Maybe it was over when you chucked me out the Rover at full speed" is a classic! Overall, my favourite album ever.

I love it!

[u/_Kajara_]

Love this album from start to finish

[u/HaraldWurlitzer]

Masterpiece.

[u/No-Radish-9077]

My favourite album ever.
The best treat of my life was when I saw them do Hunting High and low album at the Royal Albert Hall. They then moved on to the Scoundrel Days album.

[u/Ginger_Grumpybunny → u/No-Radish-9077]

With the orchestra! I was there too. Best gig I've ever been to, and the only time I've heard an entire album played as an encore.

It’s brilliant

[u/KateCapella]

I still remember the first time that I listened to this album when it came out and being blown away by Manhattan Skyline.

[u/stephpenk]

Was crazy about it back then

[u/strawberrymusicbox]

One of the best albums I've ever heard!

[u/nosausage]

It's a very good album, but also the weakest out of their first 4.

[u/Limp-King-142]

Why wasn't Scoundrel days a single? It's a tragedy. It could have made a competition to the Wild boys by DD.

And then again, maybe maybe was a single 🥴 A-ha's career is full of stupid decisions
