up with,as i have always been a fan of there stuff right from-dark 
entries/bela days,so i put on the new c.d,listened to every track from start 
to finish,then i thought"this is bloody dredful,its as if they had hardly 
bothered to try at all,it sound bland,commercial,unoriginal,i was more than 
dissapointed i can tell you,so much so that its going back to  h.m.v 
a.s.a.p!

I liked it.  It's definately not up to par with their best work from the 
80's and sure, there's a few crappy tracks but imo, there's also a handful 
of keepers on this one.  I like the whole raw, trashy post-T Rex/Ziggy 
Stardust vibe the best tracks have.  It's like the album's biggest strength, 
which is the rushed, down and dirty way it was written and recorded is also 
it's biggest weakness.  Some tracks could have benefitted from further work 
and polishing, while others would have suffred from being overworked.

BTW, there is a track listing and other info on the inside, it's all printed 
in gloss white on a white background so it's nearly impossible to see.
