first since 1983.

I wonder if it's any good.

I'd forgotten about this. I've been on big Bauhaus kick lately. Too bad they're no more, again.

Aided in part by guitarist Daniel Ash's inspired use of Jimi Hendrix's own personal Vox wah wah pedal, gifted to him by Peter Murphy at the start of the sessions, it is pop as much as it is experimental.



I want Jimi's wah wah pedal. :(

I do not like the usage of "gift" as a verb.
I haven't heard this either, but they could still cut it live the last two times I saw them.

I really hope this won't suck.

I don't know but i doubt it will be any good.

Hope I'm wrong, though.

I concur with the first sentence. The second I can't qualify, but I share the optimism of the second clause.

Fin.

I heard you're too young to know what you're talking about.

It leaked a while ago. Honestly I was not impressed, but some of my friends liked it.

floatingslowly 03.04.2008 04:29 PM

as a completionist, I'm left with little choice.

I could never get into them.

What a bummer of an album...Bauhaus had an all-killer-no-filler discography and now they have ruined it. It's aaawful.

By the way, I saw them in their reunion tour in 2006 and they were great.

Florya 03.04.2008 05:27 PM

It's god awful!

The only tracks with any merit IMHO are 'Undone' and 'The Dog's A Vapour'

I'm really disappointed :(

nicfit 03.04.2008 05:28 PM

here go my hopes shattered on a pc screen.

both of those songs are really good.

I didn't get to see the reunion, but I think Dog's a Vapour is the one they were playing that was "new" at the time...

overall, it's "ok" and at times it sounds like early solo Peter Murphy mixed with early Love and Rockets.

Zikir is the only track that sounds like Bauhaus to me.

I didn't really expect another The Sky's Gone Out and so I can't say that I'm disappointed.

for a large period of my youth Bauhaus was my favorite band; I'm thankful that they recorded new music.

Bauhaus gifted us with a new CD. the gift may be more like warm socks instead of a new car, but it's the thought that counts.
