Bauhaus: Go Away White

I can admit it. The goth chick in me was totally excited about a new Bauhaus album. I know most reunion albums are bad (has anybody heard that new Duran Duran album – ugh), but hearing the name Bauhaus conjures up so many memories of having a great time while wearing way too much black lipstick, I had to give it a listen. Surprisingly, it turns out the album's pretty good. Some of the tracks are a little less minimalist than classic Bauhaus, but it's still your basic new wave on the dark side. There's even a couple songs like "Saved" that are as typical Bauhaus as you can get -- so goth it hurts. Plus, there's a video track of the band doing their standard, "Bela Lugosi's Dead," where you'll get to see Peter Murphy singing while suspended upside down. Just in case you needed any more reason to dust the cobwebs off those fishnets.
