Sick??!?!
noisecoreclassic | England(the island where TRUE punk came from) | 08/24/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"this is a good stranglers album-not their best but to be fair, the last decent one they ever did.
i cant understand why a song about canabalism would get somone so uptight though,(lets pray this guy never gets to see a film about Hannibal Lecter, eh?)
having said that, the song "la folie" is actually about a Japanese student who studied in France, who ate his room mate because he claimed that there is no greater love,he was put away and when released he became a big celebrity.
best song on this album is "Tramp" easily
im now off to eat somone!"

"In response to the reviews below; I'm afraid you are both aesthetically AND intellectually challenged if you can't enjoy this record because of the subject matter.



It's your loss.



But then again, The Stranglers aren't for everyone..."
Sick? Nah, just misunderstood.................

""La Folie" is just a tale about some Japanese student that practiced cannibalism. That's it. The ACT and the GUY was sick, but the album isn't just about cannibalism. It's witty, melodic and quite poetic. The classic "Golden Brown" is what sets the tone on this album. "Let Me Introduce You to the Family", is a romping, rhythmic sarcastic view of the dynamics of a family. My favorite song on this album. The new addition, "Cruel Garden", is a wonderful tribute to the music of Django Reinhardt, the great jazz guitarist. The keyboards, bass, Hugh Cornwall's (edited because facts are friends!) haunting and beautiful voice are the real stars. Buy this CD and ignore all the hype."
