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.
