(1985)"Beauty Stab" is the 1983 album by the band ABC. It was the band's second album. It was a dramatic departure from the sweeping melodrama and stylized production of the band's first album, "
The Lexicon of Love ", preferring a more guitar-oriented sound. It was poorly received by critics.Track listing
All songs written by ABC except where indicated.
