Re: New Damned Album 2023
Love it so far. Best since Grave Disorder and no bad tracks. Vanian upped his songwriting and the mix is great. Captain’s guitars unshackled from Visconti’s neutering is a relief. Modern sounding yet rocking, the Damned seem comfortable in their own skin 47 years on.

Re: Dave Greenfield tribute CD
I was under the impression that there were 1,000 Dave CDs made and 1,000 cassettes.

Re: Stranglers on vinyl
Breathe on vinyl unfortunately does not include the last 30 seconds that are on CD and Spotify, etc. I wonder why that happened.

Re: Interview - npr
Incredible PR win. NPR has a major following in the US. The host, JJ and Baz all did a great job. Bravo!

Re: BBC breakfast
Thought it was great for the time they had. Notice that she said, or at least it seemed she said, "Adult Matters." Hmmm.....That title might have done well too! https://youtu.be/kC0ejxXsxMk?t=305 Thrilled about the record and digging what I have heard so far! Super excited for Friday!

Re: Rat Chat
Paul is technically a better singer than Baz but Paul’s voice sometimes called so much attention to itself that it overshadowed the song. Baz never overshadows the song, even if he lacks the precision of Paul or distinctiveness of Hugh. Net net, I prefer the current situation to a 5-person band with...

Re: And If You Should See Dave.....
Have listened to this at least 20 times and it still stands up. The song never telegraphs what’s next. It resembles a path of twists and turns, which each new revelation a total delight. Everything about this is terrific except for a few tiny quibbles about the lyrics.

Re: DARK MATTERS!!!!!
My guess is this will be the last album but I also think there is a decent chance we will have one more and that it would be released in 2024, the band's 50th year. I think that would represent an incredible landmark and JJ strikes me as someone who would want to make a grand statement on the way ou...

Re: DARK MATTERS!!!!!
Regarding the cover song, I think it's for the pure and simple fact that Dave plays on this track and therefore has to be included on what is sadly his final outing. :smt023 Yeah, that's a good point actually - given that this is pretty much Dave's final recorded work, it can only be a good thing i...
