Down - acoustic track

[Homer]

Mmm, not a fan of this one at all.

I find the guitar is the weakest part - very trad and un-Stranglers.

Really, thought guitar was great, but each to their own, I think alot of the new album will be un Stranglers, so you may not like it. Lt Kudu.

There are 3 definite belters on there - that'll do me - anything else is a bonus.

I count The Lines and And If You should...as un-Stranglers and I don't like them - not that veering away from a Stranglers formula is bad, not at all but it depends in which direction they go.

I agree with the guitar . It's too happy/ optimistic

If personal expectations are not fulfilled how the new album should sound it's not necessary a bad album or even bad music .

You're getting your subjective/objective mixed up Lt Kudu - watch out or the Semantics Police will be rapping on your door with a truncheon voucher

Would it have sounded better in French?

He is recording it in French.. and Japanese apparently I'm more interested to hear those versions.

I do quite like this though even though I can't stop singing the Lionel Ritchie bit.

Yeah, I'm the same although I think that's four songs now that are a bit downish. Maybe that's why it's called Dark Matters!

not exactly been a massive bunch of laughs recently has it!
I'm liking the vibe of what I have heard so far. Love the guitar playing on this. Show's Baz's talents.

Is it The Stranglers? Dunno. Is it a good song, well performed? Yes. And that's all I'm looking for these days

Based on some people’s comments on here and some reviews the tracks have been likened to:
Giorgio Moroder
Lionel Ritchie
Leonard Cohen
Soft Cell
Kraftwork
ELO
The Disciples of Spess
And a couple sound like The Stranglers!

So certainly eclectic!

Yes I was wondering who would be the first to spot my error, I would rather have a truncheon voucher than the real thing from Inspector Knacker of the yard, no Private Eye references intended. Lt Kudu
