Looks like recording starts in September! I know there are a few Bunnymen fans around here, or at least it seems like there are from recent posts, so I thought I'd give a heads up. I'm expecting that it will probably something similar to Siberia. Which goes for everything else released over the past ten years, ugh. I'd love to see them try something different, but I honestly doubt it will happen. They're not half the band they used to be (in more ways than one...sorry, that was in bad taste.)
Still, Siberia was a pretty good album. It has grown on me a bit since I got it. Yeah, it's terribly poppy and there's quite a bit of cheese here and there, but the high points - namely the last four songs and Parthenon Drive - are quite good. If there's anything like that on the new album, it should be a solid piece. I'm not getting my hopes up too high, but I'm still excited. My only worry is the state of Ian's voice. True, in most of the videos I've seen from recent live performances, he has been drunk or at the very least tipsy. Still, he has been sounding fairly croaky...
If you guys just want to turn this into a general Bunnymen droolfest rather than talk about the new album, please go ahead. I'm on a Bunnymen kick lately.
