Play something we know :grin:

A good gig in Bristol but playing the whole album in one hit was a bit much.

Thank fook for liquor

Really enjoyed the Norwich gig last night and actually thought the new album was sounding great.
Although it was weird not to be able to sing along to all the songs as I didn't know them, I thought it was a refreshing change tbh and the band seemed really up for it and confident. Fair play to them I say.

Yes they are playing great from clips I have seen, great new drummer to Will Taylor I presume.Dr Livingston.

The Damned are one of my greatest loves, but all these new songs seem underdeveloped. Not getting the best out of them!

It's just the same rock formula time and time again. Where's the quirkyness etc.

Gone a bit average haven't they. Hopefully there will be some surprises on the album.

The instrumental break sounds in Bad Weather Girl sounds like Delightful Nightmare!

Listened through once and enjoyed it.
Some of the songs too short and the more developed have some nice touches - some nice playing from Sensible

I quite like the vibe but I can't imagine I'll play it like MGE!

the last album did not have enough guitar, I suggest there are maybe a few too many solos from Capt

7/10

Yeah it's not too shabby. Just wish they wouldn't cover the songs in layers and layers of synths and glossy production that sucks the life out of everything
