a b Ryan, Gavin (2011). Australia's Music Charts 1988-2010 (PDFed.). Mt. Martha, VIC, Australia: Moonlight Publishing. p.23. Rolling Stone critic Laura Fissinger wrote that Different Light finds the Bangles "using less hook-happy song structure and more modernized production" than on their 1984 debut All Over the Place, "covering their roots without burying them ten feet under." [16] She disagreed with objections to the more "deliberate, sophisticated and airwaves ready" nature of the production and felt that the album "puts then and now in significantly better balance", while also finding that the band had advanced "past the fan-apes-idol phase" in their musicianship.

Different Light produced five singles, the first three of which were written by someone other than the Bangles. Lead single " Manic Monday", written by Prince under the pseudonym "Christopher" [1] in 1984 as a duet for the Apollonia 6 album, peaked at number two in the United Kingdom and the United States in 1986. [2] [3] " If She Knew What She Wants", the second single from Different Light, was recorded by Jules Shear on his 1985 Eternal Return album. The song was written in the first person, however the Bangles rewrote the lyrics in the third person as they considered it more appropriate; their version charted at number 29 in the United States [2] and number 31 in the United Kingdom. [3] " Walk Like an Egyptian" was written by Liam Sternberg after seeing people on a ferry walking awkwardly to keep their balance as figures do in Ancient Egyptian reliefs; it became one of the most successful singles by the Bangles, hitting number one in the United States, [2] Denmark, [4] and the Netherlands, [5] as well as peaking at number three in the United Kingdom. [3] " Walking Down Your Street" hit number 11 in the United States [2] and number 16 in the United Kingdom, [3] and a fifth single, " Following", was released exclusively in the latter country. We also don't know if circumstances surrounding the rights transfer precludes either Sony or Universal from remastering the album and releasing rarities, or if some or all of the band itself is at fault for simply not wanting to revisit their 80s material.
