Music reviews of Go Away White
Music Review: Well worth having for any true fan
Rating: 4 Stars
A few "Bauhaus snobs" have given this new album poor reviews, and as a die hard fan of Bauhaus I was a little disappointed too during my first run listen of the first three songs. However, I have since come to love the album dearly, and throw down the gauntlet that if the nay-sayers don't appreciate this new album then I question how much they REALLY appreciated Bauhaus in the first place. Sometimes supposed "fans" don't know why they're fans. Back when Bauhaus was new they probably just knew that their friends used to also think it was cool & it helped them fit in with their chosen adolescent counterculture. However, true fans of the music and the personalities of the band will not be disappointed in this album.
My initial disappointment wasn't because the first three songs were bad, they just weren't quite like the older style Bauhaus that I got hooked on long ago. It was almost like instead of hearing Bauhaus, I was listening to Love & Rockets at their most basic & Peter Murphy just happened to be a guest singer, if that makes any sense. Again, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but the songs were not quite what I had hoped to dive right into after being deprived for so long.
So, I can understand the feelings of the negative reviewers, as probably most of us who love Bauhaus had hoped we'd be able to re-live the good ole days when the band was in their prime & it'd be just exactly like a combination of their 4 incredible studio albums from the late 70s to early 80s. Of course a lot changes in almost 3 decades, and they only had 18 days to do this one, so all things considered it is impressive that the quality of this album is as good as it is, and it is indeed Bauhaus.
And for you nostalgic fans, the good news is that despite the few songs that I would consider decent but bland, there are still plenty of elements in the album and several songs in particular that are very reminiscent of the classic style Bauhaus created "back in the day". The album has grown on me quite a bit, and I imagine even the reviewers with their ultra high standards have come to enjoy it more if they've truly given it a chance.
I believe that the album doesn't really take off until song #4, International Bullet Proof Talent. Its a catchy song and for whatever reason I dig it! Follow that up with #5 Endless Summer of the Damned, which made me feel like I was listening to A God in Alcove for the first time all over again. The Dog's a Vapour is also genius, too, with their patented low-key mystic style at first and then it breaks into a drum beat & guitar riff as lustfully pornographic as some of their classics (think In the Flat Field or Double Dare). Songs 6,7 & 8 are also good in their own right and offer more of the many splendored flavors of Bauhaus.
My biggest complaint is that they didn't write more songs & at least give us 15 or so. Song #10, Zikir, is kind of just a filler. Its pleasant to listen to, but if you're going to count that as a song then at least give us more to enjoy than just 9 1/2 songs! I guess that's all they could pull off in 18 days, which is also the other thing that is subtly missing. There's a difference in a band who has been jamming, touring, and hanging together for months & years at a time, and one who has split & had a reunion after so long. Don't get me wrong, the spirit of this album is great (like a family reunion, or hooking up with your ex- just for fun!) but they could never match the seasoning of comradery that their earlier works have when they've been separated for so long & only have 18 days to crank it out. So if that's what you were looking for, Bauhaus snobs, then my advice is to get a little proper perspective or quit being such posers.
Go Away White earns a solid 4 stars in my book & I'm delighted to see that my religious glance at the Bauhaus card when I go to the music store has finally paid off!
Description of Go Away White
It is virtually impossible to imagine the last 30 years of rock music without the influence of Bauhaus. They have inspired countless bands and have mesmerized the masses with their ability to be simultaneously sparse, dark, anthemic, and glam. With their new album, entitled Go Away White, Peter Murphy Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins have created an album as exciting and relevant as their earlier work. Echoes of Bauhaus have been heard in the work of their heirs and imitators for the past few decades and 25 years after their last studio release the band have returned with yet another undiluted glimpse into their world.Alternative Rock CDs
