You'll Never Pay For The Farm

Biography

Gang of Four are one of the most radical, and radically important, rock groups of the last 30 years. Their music, starting with 1978’s Damaged Goods EP, offered a danceable solution to the problem of where four-piece guitar bands could go next after punk. They also provided the perfect answer to the question: how to be polemical without being po-faced, ponderous, banal or doctrinaire?

Editorial Reviews

This is C O N T E N T, the new album from Gang of Four. The album features 11 new ''What we strive for in all of our songs is to interpret the world in a way you haven't seen nor thought of before,'' says Andy who also produced the album. ''We feel you'll hear this in C O N T E N T. The tracks are simple: vocals, guitar, bass, drums. It is a tough, loud sound.''

4.0 out of 5 stars not bad --- but what's with amazon.com?, January 30, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Content (Audio CD)
Honestly, this isn't a bad album - especially, considering most new music is horrible these days and Jon King and Andy Gill are in their mid-50s. It met my expectations.

That said, i really wanted to vent about amazon. I pre-ordered this cd and received it yesterday. I see it on the site today for nearly half as much. What is deal with that? I guess i should not pre-order anymore if the price is going to drop markedly just days after release. I suppose i could return mine and order a new one? Or just return it since i ripped it anyway. However, i am lazy so i probably wont.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gang of Four is Back, January 25, 2011

This review is from: Content (Audio CD)
ContentI must admit I was skeptical about how they would sound after all this time. But the minute I put it on the stereo it lunged out at me with real ferocity. No...it isn't as original as "Entertainment." And it doesn't have the tongue in cheek humor of "Songs of the Free" but damn if this isn't one of the best sounding records I've heard in a long time. And it fills my need for Art Marxist music that I guess I really needed right now. We all need to be reminded of how the fetishism of the commodity dehumanizes us every once and a while.

Highly recommended if you were ever a fan of this important band.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Bit of a Grower, This, February 18, 2011
This review is from: Content (Audio CD)
On first listen, my summary was that it was better than Mall but not as good as Shrinkwrapped (I think Shrinkwrapped is one of their best). After a few more listens it begins to grow on you a little more. It is very consistent, perhaps to a fault. It lacks the high points of Shrinkwrapped, Tattoo and Better Him Than Me, but it certainly doesn't have any duds, either.

Songs like You Don't Have To Be Mad and I Party All the Time sound more like "old school" GoF, while Jon King sounds like he is channelling Hugh Cornwell on You'll Never Pay For the Farm (but I can live with that). The rest of it is more in the style of Mall and Shrinkwrapped, which you'd expect given the reduced line-up of Gill and King. It all works pretty well though, except for the stupid vocoder voice on It Was Never Gonna Turn Out Too Good, without ever being outstanding. They are touring Australia next month and I am really looking forward to seeing them for the first time, even without Dave Allen, and I won't be too disappointed if they play lots of stuff from this album, as long as we get a liberal dosing of their other stuff, too.
