This has a lot of Bauhaus influences but has many more melodic segments and that is a good thing.

Death is fantastic.

@someguest there's a difference between a different name and a different project. For these guys, all it was was a name change. They didn't do the New Order thing where they made a conscious decision to change their sound and rearrange their identity. This band just changed their name while staying essentially the same group.

Yep. Same band, different name. The pussies at the college campuses are appeased.

Does their new one sound similar to this one? At least in style?

Pretty much, yeah. It's a bit more synth-y but that's about it.

I dunno why but it's funny retroactively imagining a band called "preoccupations" being like hmmm let's call our debut album "Viet Cong"

Viet Cong and Preoccupations are both shitty band names imo.

to which bands do you refer? are we talkin like uhhh joy division?

This is always a sort of style of music I had trouble with, the sort of "industrial" side of post punk (?), but this has some really great songs too

women and cindy lee are way more interesting in their sounds than this band is, good songs but in the end this is pretty much just revivalism
