The new millennium saw the band deciding to do an album of covers instead. Not a lot stands out, may be for completists only. A slowed-down "Homosapien" and "Neon Lights", and a version of "Hello, I Love You" that sounds like an "Achtung Baby" outtake. Feels like the band just trying out new things.

With titles like "Killing Andy Warhol" and "Superman v Supersoul", the band leaned to much into the electronics for 1998's "Neapolis", they're kinda unrecognizable (play "Androgyny" for old fans and see if they can guess who it is).

1995's "Good News from the Next World" refashions them as an electro-rock band similar to Garbage (check "My Life"). "She's a River", "Hypnotised" and "Night Music" are decent, although I still can't help hearing a bit of U2 bleeding a bit through. A product of the post-grunge/alt-rock times.

Since I got this running at the moment (Live in the City of Diamonds, 2025), let me just give a chef's kiss to vocalist Sarah Brown on "Book of Brilliant Things" and drummer Cherisse Osei, who took over the sticks from Mel Gaynor. A thoroughly enjoyable concert - feels like I was there euphoric.

That is a magnificent body of work, large swaths of which I had no exposure to. Particularly intrigued about 1995-2014, which I would think only a hardcore subset of fans would listen to them. Let me see if I can catch myself up, and post my thoughts as time allows.

Agree with you gents ... unsealed this bad boy reissue last weekend.
I'm still partial to "The Downtown Lights" but there is no wasted moment or effort in the whole album.

Every time this pendejo falsely suggests something, he should have a stroke. Every lie he tells is patently designed to rile someone up to hurt people.

If we couldn't rally behind the basic alternative/opposite to the current WH squatter, and couldn't prevent getting conned by misinfo flooding the media, how are we going to even get to that year?

Ok, I haven't gotten around yet to watching The Snowman film adaptation ... BUT I managed to finish "The Bat", the first of the Harry Hole (goddamn, in my head I was reading it as "head like a hole" - turns out its "hol-y"? thanks, one of the main characters) novels.

Learned that they actually made a movie out of this with some heavy hitters to boot - Fassbender. J.K. Simmons. Char Gainsbourg. Rebecca Ferguson. Chloe Sevigny. The late Val Kilmer. Toby Jones.! and Mon Mothma herself, Genevieve O'Reilly. Will check it out on the weekend.
