I don’t think we talk enough about how dark a time it was in the 80s. We think of the 10s as dark, Like DC Universe dark but the music that was splintering off from the Bauhaus/David J movement was fucking dark. Or it really wanted to be. That’s this record. It really wants to be dark. It comes off mostly as pretentious but the attempt is worth it. Much better than their previous one. Much.
