HH jiffy bag arrived this morning and I'm not at work today and I'm alone in the house :)
I shall leave analysis of and debate about the lyrics to others (haven't been paying enough attention), but based on a listen of the first CD so far, I'm enjoying it a lot more than Citizen Cained or Dark Orgasm on a first (or subsequent) listen

A mild thump through my letterbox this morning told me it had arrived. Currently importing into iTunes and then I'll give it a a good listening to!
Love being on this side of the Atlantic again as I forget how quick the post can be.

Arrived today!!! I've ordered 3 days ago (and I live in Portugal)!!! Very very fast. GREAT.
I'm playing the fucker now and I gotta say the first 30 seconds of track one (Doctor Know) sounds like Genesis - Peter Gabriel era!!! But then... it's Cope. What a relief...

LOL. I wouldn't go that far but there is a hint of "Walking Across The Sitting Room I Turn The Television Off" perhaps?
You just can't get these nicely educated middle class rockers to move that far away from their William Blake.

It's Julian's voice isn't it? ;-)

I like it! A few tracks that really made me prick up my ears on first listen - all on the 2nd half of CD2.
The first one is Can't Get You Out of My Country - the one that caused all the controversy on here the other day!!! Turns out Mrs A was right - it's not 'set' in Europe - & has nowt to do with migrants. Great 'Gotta Get Out of this Place' groove & lotsa melody too!
Love the following track, Vampire State Building - a catchy little ditty with a nice plodding groove. Hidden Doorways sounds good to me, despite a rhythm-box kinda sound. Shame Shame Shame to me is very Copey & an almost 'traditional'-sounding acoustic protest song. Nice electric riff at the end (albeit with some dodgy Copey 'packing-case' percussion)!
Early to say, but if some of the rest (esp CD1) grows on me, this could become my fave recent Julian album!
Interesting possible Bowie reference in the accent he sings in towards the end of Soon to Forget Ya, perhaps as a result of the lyrics...?

On 2nd listen now & I'm wondering how I missed noticing that I really like 'A Child was Born in Carrig-Y-Drudion' & 'Woden' too! Suspect I was actually working & not listening!!!
Just CD1 to 'work on' now, then.... ;^)
