The Lexicon Of Love was a chart topping debut album by a British new wave group ABC released in 1982. It is a concept album in which the singer experiences heartache as he tries and fails to have a meaningful relationship with any girl. It was produced by Trevor Horn and featured orchestration by Art of Noise member Anne Dudley. "Tears Are Not Enough", "All of My Heart", "Poison Arrow", and "The Look Of Love (Part One)" were all Top 40 hits in the UK; the last two also charted in the US. The album reached #1 on the British charts, and peaked at #24 in the U.S. charts. It has been reissued with an extra track.
In 1998 Q magazine readers voted The Lexicon of Love the 92nd greatest album of all time.
