Burning Up Time - The Stranglers and Hugh Cornwell Unofficial Forums

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.

I was under the impression that there were 1,000 Dave CDs made and 1,000 cassettes.

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.

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...

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...
