Black and White. A collection of songs that exudes bleak war torn imagery and references the cold war to great effect. (U2 and Joy Division went on to create dark music with war torn overtones but the Stranglers did it first on Black and White). The production sought to capture death and destruction with a stark sneer of cold command and entrenched paranoia that existed in the late 1970's. A true masterpiece - never bettered.

@almklit

Maybe so, but em... this great song ain't off Black and White

[almklit]

@jimioutback Yeah I know that, don't know why I posted this here must be goin mad.

[marcuslaughton]

a brilliant symphony- now this is the stranglers.

[peterdukewilson]

Seen a comment on another video from same concert, commenter said joy division could take it where the stranglers never could. Kinda weird that THE STRANGLERS still perform, but joy prickvision are left in the anals of despair. I rest my case.

[almklit]

@peterdukewilson That was me, I expressed it clumsily, I actually meant that Joy Division took the sound and vive of early stranglers and explored only that path whereas the Stranglers changed direction with each outing and would move on.

[Salaminguana]

Dave Greenfield and Jet so awesome in the last few minutes.

[TheWendyHour]

[SirBanuTheFourth]

@TheWendyHour Paul?

[coggy52]

Baz Warne is SO much better than Paul Roberts, and he plays the guitar - so The Stranglers are back to a four piece. Excellent! Can't wait to see them at Leeds in March :-)

[kingofpunk1977]

@coggy52 Be honest its better than what Cornwell is doing now

[MegaBigernie]
