Advantages: Fantastic comeback Disadvantages: It wasn't marketed well enough...
...through 1999 and onwards, so there had been a glimpse of a few ofthe tracks, but even the most optimistic Mission fan would secretly have been breathing a sigh of relief that when "Aura" finally manifested itself, it was a gem and not another album of neither-here-nor-there middle-of-the-road rock.
Aura is, quite simply, The Mission back to their best. Dispensing with the indie-rock no-mans-land territory that their last three albums (including 1992's "Masque") had fitted into, this album is a return to the bombastic goth rock of their heyday. Okay, so there aren't any tracks quite on a par with "Tower of Strength" or "Beyond the Pale" from the "Children" album, but this is still a stunning comeback considering the dross that they had been coming out with for the previous ten years or so.
The tracks are:
1. Evangeline
2. Shine Like...

Advantages: Glamourous Indie Rock 'n' Roll at it's sparkly finest Disadvantages: Occassionally pretentious and repetitive
...Once upon a time, I read about a little known Swedish electro-pop group 'The Sounds' in the wonderful NME magazine, and became rather curious. Mainly because of a single, memorable statement.
'Like a mix between 'Blondie' and 'The Killers'
Intruiging. A band that incorporates the rushed, indie madness of The Killers with the electro-pretence of Blondie? For any cynics out there who don't believe this could possibly be possible, The Sounds shared producer Jerry Saltzman on 'Dying To Say This To You', with The Killers on 'Hot Fuss'. Surely worth a listen. I am very very glad i did.
Wonderfully, the very first smidgen of The Sounds that I heard was a cowbell. Yes, track 1, 'Song With A Mission' begins with the rhymic thud of the most wonderful instrument ever to grace the indie rock scene. It is clear that what was to come...

Advantages: Well-produced Disadvantages: Flat and uninspiring
...The Mission are a curious band in a way, still going and not only that but still going on in much the same way as in their late 80s heyday. The question, however, with every release since about 1992, has always been and continues to be: Does this new album match up to their classic albums "The First Chapter" and "Children"?
Certainly with their two albums they made in the mid to late 90s this was not the case. Then they suddenly returned to form with 2001's "Aura". And so the question this time round is perhaps a little different: Is the newfound form they discovered with the Aura album maintained on this release?
I would have to say it isn't- not because this isn't decent or well-produced music- it's just that their new album, "God is a Bullet", sounds a little... well, flat.
The first track of the new album, Still Deep Waters...
