DARK MATTERS!!!!!

[Greatkudu]

Dark Matters a metaphor for alot of things? Love the title and I really can't wait for the album, I sent a friend of mine a lady, the new single and she really liked it but said it was sad, great to have a non fans opinion, as sometimes being such big fans our opinions are clouded sometimes, JJ a modest man is even cautious about saying how great the album is? But I have a very good feeling about this album, and it's the most excited I have been about a Stranglers album since Dreamtime. Lt R1Kudu on op amurula. Over but never out.

" The upcoming album is a gem - been listening to it loads - it has everything you love about the stranglers plus more"

Super encouraging.
Has a nice, bracing, short but sweet instrumental then!

Sir I think its John Robbs quote as he has heard the album and probably has a hard or electronic copy. Lt Kudu.

I like John Robb but he is a fan of the band and just sings their praises anyway whatever they do..

There is a degree of that. Similarly JJ has been saying "this is our best album ever" for every album since "About Time" or thereabouts, so I'll make my own mind up after I've been listening to it for a bit.

Yes but to be honest JJ has been a bit Conservative about album, he seems happy with it. I think it will be a great album, on evidence so far I think so. Lt Kudu.

I"m sure JJ expressed that it would be difficult to say how it compares to the other 17 albums.

Also I don't think comparing is necessarily relevant anyway. I think it'll be an album "of the times" for the band, and I'm confident that the "patchiness" that we saw on Giants will be avoided.

In the final analysis of all Stranglers albums though I can't see the likes of Rattus / B&W /Raven ever being bettered - not by anyone !

He replied to a tweet of mine on Saturday night. It's public so I'm sure he'll be ok with me placing it here......

Does anyone know, or even had a chat with John R about the new lp? He's clearly heard it and what he mentioned (a few times) was quite intriguing and hopeful. I wonder what he would say to "what Stranglers songs or periods do you sense an echo of?'....he implied that. Interested in his take outside of the JJ interview - where he needs to be cautious and oblique to an extent?

JR raved about Giants and it's not a even a good album.
I find JR gets a bit excited, grand a fella as he appears to be, but he over eggs.

I'll be the judge of if it's a gem as will you!
