I chose this one based on a list of Peter Hook’s favourite albums on the fantastic Louder Than War website, surprised that he had chosen something released so recently – unusual in lists of that sort. This album has confirmed two things for me: 1) I have a real dislike for the falsetto voice; and 2) even album artwork has the capacity to annoy me. The cover to this one reminds me of Elvis Costello’s Get Happy album (see) – it’s fake faulty album artwork for the digital age.
Oh, and this must be one of the worst band names ever. Make that item number 3 on the list of the things to dislike.
