Large and wonderful surprise

I have restarted some time ago a scathing review of "Dreamtime" (and deleted, because it's not interested in has). In conclusion, stood about that guys nowadays one can only feel sorry. Until recently, was true; the albums since "Aural Sculpture" were all superfluous in my ears. At best. And really no one could have expected that this fulfills something good. All the more surprising then that new board which I can only describe as a triumphant return after repeated listening. Of course I was sad from experience inclined to dismiss "Giants" as another scrap before publication, but then I just have a look belongs (and the board fully played out, which actually does not correspond to my listening habits). Well, what can one say? The plate is just great, and that extend from the first to the last piece. A pearl after another, and each time renewed hearing reinforced this impression. Of course, the album of innumerable quotations lives, but also the first time you have to manage (especially it must be the right). "Giants" makes absolutely no concessions to current trends. Why should they? This type of music is not actually made today; Seriousness and melancholy of the song (which also have the "classic" Stranglers always dominated) to blow me away somehow. And that without Hugh Cornwell, whose voice is indeed missing still, but which is now quite well represented by Baz Warne (that would be me earlier did not come on the lips). I think a better plate had the Stranglers can not do in 2012 with a perceived average age of 60. And for me the old bag there after 28 years finally a new Stranglers album that I like to listen to it.
