An unlikely hybrid of goth meets funk. That's going to be quite a look. The bass is bloody brilliant throughout. I'd forgooten how good Bauhaus were.

I grew up with this album, but as time has gone on, I prefer their first album more. Side one of this is a bit ploddy, which I guess makes sense, being as Bauhaus pretty much invented the 80s Goth thing. Side 2 has a lot more of a spark about it, Kick In The Eye still sounding lithe and fresh. As does X-Ray Eyes. One of the band's great strengths was mixing funk and dub into their post-punk, and they are the best bits here. The ending of this album is still wistful and beautiful, too. They did - at times - have a way with a poignant tune. Not one I would play often these days, but still a great album.
