The Great Departure

This, above and beyond the previous two albums ("The Gospel According to the Meninblack" and "LaFolie") is where Stranglers fans started to jump ship or baton down the hatches, depending on the fan. The group, which had initially been much more agressive with their sound ("Rattus Norvevigicus" and "No More Heroes"--the first two albums) really lightened on this seventh studio release. The guitars are accoustic--even the bass. Of note, "Golden Brown" is NOT a track from this album as it was released in England. The U.S. release included the track with the record company's hope that it would catch on in America, as the previous album, "LaFolie", which included "Golden Brown", was not released in the U.S. The group never really had a large audience in the U.S. with the alternative, punk or New Wave circles. However, like in GB the band had a loyal following of odd-balls. Though quite the change, Feline is a fine album from the original Meninblack, aka, The Stranglers.

The many phases

of this great group can be confusing to some. I enjoyed them all. This album has been described as Euro synth pop prog, and is the epitomy of what the Stranglers are, or were, consistantly at the front of changes in music, never imitating or giving a crap about what others were doing, and having subtle influences on many more famous musicians, so I have read (and hear in their music). So dark and so cool. One of my favorite Stranglers albums, though I jumped ship when Hugh Cornwall left. Sorry.

Golden Brown Is The Best Song

The album itself is really good but the best one is Golden Brown I personally recommend that.

The Stranglers formed as the Guildford Stranglers in the southern England village of Chiddingfold (near Guildford) in 1974, plowing a heavily Doors-influenced furrow through the local pub rock scene — such as it was. Of the four founding members, only Hugh Cornwell had any kind of recognizable historical pedigree, having played alongside Richard Thompson in the schoolboy band Emil & the Detectives. According to Thompson, their repertoire stretched from "Smokestack Lightning" and...
