Express carried the band even further from what its members had done as Bauhaus, splicing underground rock onto pop and, in hindsight, sketching out the alternative rock that would storm the mainstream in the early 1990s. AllMusic later heard the album as a neo-psychedelic trip, all spiraling guitars and shape-shifting arrangements.
