Probably Bauhaus' most accessible album and one of their most satisfying. While still diverse, it isn't nearly as eclectic or experimental as The Sky's Gone Out or Mask. There's a strangely badass kind of swagger to some of the tracks, whether it be the Glam stomp and driving bassline of Latgartija Nick or the jagged punk antics of Antonin Artraud. There are also some quieter, more somber moments with cold acoustic guitars and the indispensible Goth Rock classic She's in Parties.
