In some ways, Dark Continent is Wall of Voodoo's greatest album. Although it lacks the "Mexican Radio" of its follow-up,
there is no filler and the arrangements and concepts are brilliantly executed.
Proffering an utterly unique blend of drum machine beats, Marc Moreland's Western-influenced guitar leads,
and Stan Ridgway's distinctive vocals and lyrics, Dark Continent has been compared
to the music of Devo, but is not quite like anything -- or anyone -- else.
The songs deal with natural and industrial perils, tense relationships, and reflect a cranky, working-class perspective
that offers an interesting contrast to the new wave elements of prominent synthesizer and hyperactive rhythm box beats.
If originality and artistic vision are any measure of a rock album's worth, Dark Continent delivers on both counts...(AllMusic)
