Free Music Notes for Gotham
Free Music Review: A great CD, essential for real goths
Hit: 5 Stars
Real Goths, take heed - this is a good album, one of the bestlive recordings I have ever heard. Their best known tracks are here,as well as a cover of the Dead Can Dance song "Severance.". If it wasn't for Bauhaus, none of those bands he listed would probably exist. And if you call yourself a goth and have never even heard of Bauhaus...keep your mouth shut about it and learn before shooting off. ENDFree Music Review: Not Goth at all, just lame vocals and bad guitars
Hit: 1 Stars
I bought this album because i heard it was gothic and because im into that. Before that i had never heard of these guys. I hated this cd. THIS IS NOT GOTHIC. this lame, all tracks on both cds are really sad (as in lame). If you want to hear real goth at its overseas best, check out My Dying Bride, Theater Of Tragedy, Moonspell and Agathadimond. This and Alien Sex Fiend and Switch Blade Symphony and all the other American goth bands are pretty lame. Dont buy this album if you into REAL goth music. Save your money!Free Music Review: oh please (in reference to the reviewer from Brazil)
Hit: 5 Stars
Old punks? Bauhaus essentially single-handedly started the whole goth music scene. They are the original, quintessential goth band. I have been listening to them since 1981 or so, and to me they're still the best goth band ever. Most of the newer bands are just trying to emulate their style. Yeah, maybe this recording isn't the best, but it's a LIVE ALBUM! They are always going to sound rougher than the studio albums. The end result: if you LIKE Bauhaus and you LIKE live albums, then get this one.Free Music Review: Oh, so now they call themselves gothic?
Hit: 2 Stars
As a long time Bauhaus fan, I must say this album is unforgivenly disapointing. The sound is no good and I expected they would sophisticate their songs after 16 years of learning how to play. Bauhaus was basicaly a punk band, now they assume their popularity among the gothic audience and call themselves gothic. For me, they sound just like old punks, and when you're punk you can do everything but growing old. If you wanna hear them live, buy "Press The Eject" or the semi oficial "Rest in Peace". "Gotham" is just a bunch of oldmen covering Bauhaus.Free Music Review: This really took me back to the DC in 1998
Hit: 5 Stars
I had the opportunity to see Bauhaus' Resurrection tour when they stopped in DC. The show was spellbinding, hauntingly beautiful, a real spiritual event. This recording really captures their live essence. Standout points are their cover of Dead Can Dance's 'Severance' (I saw in my mind Peter on a stage riser crooning above with his arm outstretched to the ceiling as he did in DC). 'In Fear of Fear' is blistering and the fuzzed intro to 'Double Dare' on the live recording filled me with the same chill I felt at the beginning of the show I saw. The fact that they included a version of 'Spirit' on this is all the more relishing. I believe they only played that song to the real enthusiastic crowds. It is quite a treat to have it here. Another perk to this release is a studio version of 'Severance', very similar to their live take on the song, but their first studio release of new material since they broke. Need I say that this is a must for any fan of Bauhaus? It is sure to invoke the same feel their live performance induces.
