I can still enjoy it for nostalgic reasons, but Mick Karn's fretless bass is a little over the top. Still, it's a pretty distinct album.

I know what you're saying about it dating, but I really think it did so the second they were done recording it. Even in the '80s I thought it had a dinstinctively '80s feel to it, but in a good way. It definitely feels rather canned, but it's an arty sort of canned, like a Warhol print. So for me it continues to date well. It's just the contemporary bands who try intentionally to ape this sort of sound that bug me.
