	LyricsVault: Hall of fame: Stranglers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Stranglers formed as the Guildford Stranglers in the southern England village of Chiddington (near Guildford) in 1974, plowing a heavily Doors-influenced furrow through the local pub rock scene — such as it was.
		Unfortunately, though the Stranglers themselves reveled in an almost Monty Python-esque grasp of absurdity (and, in particular, the absurdities of modern "men's talk"), there was an undercurrent of violence which not only permeated their music, it also, inevitably, spilled into their live shows.
		That it is those earliest years which remain the Stranglers' most popular is not surprising — from bad-mannered yobs to purveyors of supreme pop delicacies, the group was responsible for music which may have been ugly and might have been crude — but it was never, ever boring.

	Stranglers Albums
		Aware of the reduced exposure of the band's music in North America, this personal view of their studio albums is intended to offer some insight for those who are either new to the band or have only partially experienced the complete catalogue.
		With its title inspired by the raven as used by the Vikings as a figure-head on their longships, this album has a unique atmosphere which, for me, sets it aside from any other material of the time.
		The hard-edged title track sets the direction for much of the album, while there are more contemplative moments, such as the atmospheric "Tuckers Grave", dedicated to Edwin Tucker, who committed suicide in 1747 (and was written in the room in which he died).

	TrouserPress.com :: Stranglers
		Formed in 1975, the Stranglers became enormously popular in Britain and Europe when they burst on the scene in 1977 with one of the first new wave albums, preceding both the Clash and the Sex Pistols to the shops by several months.
		The Meninfl — previewed on The Raven (and IV) by a song of that name — is a hypothetical soundtrack/concept album concerning aliens with godlike powers that is essentially an attack on organized religion.
		Whether the result of, or the impetus for, the Stranglers' penchant for covering rock'n'roll standards (or just an indication of artistic burnout), Burnel and Greenfield launched a just-for-kicks sideband with Stranglers' saxman Alex Gifford, ex-Vibrators guitarist John Ellis and Manny Elias.

		The keyboards, and particularly the bass playing are on a different level to their other albums (simply observe the instrumental on 'Nuclear Device', which remains the best I have ever heard).
		However, as with other Stranglers albums, the lyrics as a whole are a bit disappointing, especially on the title track.

		Musically, The Stranglers were on a roll--Dave Greenfield's use of Hammond organ and Moogsynth coupled with Burnel's sonorous belch of a bass and Hugh Cornwell's not-bothered vocal made them instantly recognisable.
		probably one of the more straight forward albums they did but still with more imagination than the other punk stuff that was around at the time and good thumping aggressive tracks with some seedy moody ones relating to taboo subjects.
		The Stranglers released two albums in 1977, both of which had a plethora of tunes full of dark energy, musical genius and humour.

		The better of the two, and the album closer, Genetix, the sole track on this record sung by Dave, is memorable only for his delivery of the title line, and for Jet's drumming, which reminds me of a marylin manson song's drums, even if the songs sound nothing alike.
		The last of the album tracks I'll look at is Meninfl, a slow,weird and distorted sound for the music, which was made by taking the song Two Sunspots, which wouldn't actually appear until the next record, and playing it backwards.
		Upon it's release,a journalist gave the album the same score, and was accosted by JJ in a pub in a situation that almost turned nasty.

		Faced with the new album by a band who were in the vanguard of punk, have lost their charismatic lead singer and guitarist and whose last major hit was in 1990 you may find yourself feeling a little edgy.
		All right and proper, until you realise that this is an album by a band who, after many years in the rock wilderness, have returned to a major label.

		The production on this album is as clean as anything you'll hear, the group's inventiveness and musical ability is so far removed from "Raven" it almost sounds like a different group.
		The Stranglers 'The Gospel According To The Meninfl' explored the mysterious world of UFOs a long time before the 90s vogue for it came along with The X Files and the Will Smith movie 'Men in Black'.
		It was a brave move by the Stranglers to make this album, artistically, commercially and - if you know of the strange chain of deaths, imprisonments, theft and bad luck that accompanied the group in this period - in terms of their own well being.

	The Stranglers : The Raven - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		By the time this album was released, the group had branched out a bit from their punk-influenced pop music stylings and grouchy personal-relationship-based lyrics.
		Half the songs on this album (among them "Dead Loss Angeles," [sic] "Nuclear Device," "Shah Shah a Gogo," [sic] and "Genetix" [sic]) spout verses critical of social or political issues.
		Approximately half the songs on this album would be reissued one year later on the U.S. label release IV.

		To the Stranglers and those that knew them, this was the culmination of all their persistence over a two-year period; ironically, their signing angered a number of established bands who thought that these "punk upstarts" had come from nowhere!
		New technology and techniques were happily embraced (as is clearly evident on such albums as "The Gospel According to the Meninfl") and new horizons were explored with the inclusion of a brass section (from "Aural Sculpture" to " 10 ") and steel guitar (on "Dreamtime").
		The Stranglers may be over twenty-five years old, and have seen many changes in their career, but we can certainly look forward to plenty more exciting years in fl.

	Cover Art: The Stranglers - The Raven
		Notes: The Stranglers were there at the beginning of the British punk scene and they're still out there making great music.
		This offering is an early album full of favorites like "Duchess", topical pieces such as "Nuclear Device" and "Genetix" and their stateside commentary "Dead Loss Angeles".
		The cover is a 3D photo of the Raven (which actually scanned very well to my surprise) backed with a nice photo of the lads on the Longships.

		But there's pop too--"Duchess" (a Top 20 UK hit later covered by My Life Story) and the doleful "Baroque Bordello", a song almost compassionate and empathic compared to the leerier lyricisations of old but also featuring a keyboard intro which seemed to be cribbed from--of all things--"Inchworm" from the Danny Kaye film Hans Christian Anderson.
		Whatever reason, The Raven is The Stranglers' finest achievement.

		It is some twenty years since The Stranglers last released a decent original album (THE RAVEN).
		Elsewhere, there are reminders of what a great band the Stranglers were.
		They have been dropped in favour of a run-out of lame tracks which perfectly depict the lack of direction of post-‘Raven’ Stranglers - and the even greater lack of direction of the post-Cornwell era.

	Gig Reviews 2004
		Perth City Hall was a brilliant venue for a Stranglers concert since the downstairs hall allowed fans to get up "real close" to the band and the upstairs balcony gave everyone up there a perfect view to enjoy the band.
		Norfolk Coast is a Stranglers album right up there with their very best work -- blending the traditional Stranglers' sound with new innovative material.
		As a lifelong Stranglers fan and one of probably only two Brits (the other my brother) at this one-off gig I couldn't let the opportunity pass without describing how good the boys were and how good the new material sounded.

		The title track is one of the better tracks on the album despite its obvious hint that the band are trying to sound like the Stranglers of old.
		With fourteen studio albums before this one you could cherry pick tracks off all of them thatin isolation are equal/better than those on offer on Norfolk Coast, it would prove more difficult however to pick a better collection of songs.
		This is the first album with Paul Roberts that I've enjoyed listening to his singing.

		If you look at most of the punk bands from the mid to late 70's, they had pretty much rode their one trick pony into the ground and were the stuff of historians by the time this album came out.
		OK, I'm biased because this was the album that introduced me to the Stranglers and now I love everything by them up until Hugh left.
