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"?

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.

Album Notes: The Mission U.K. began in the late '80s as a more pop-friendly variant on the British goth scene. With members hailing from Sisters of Mercy and Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, they mixed goth's dark visions with post-punk drive and a radio-ready knack for anthemic melodies. Some 20 years down the line, singer Wayne Hussey, having weathered countless personnel changes, keeps the Mission's mission going with GOD IS A BULLET. The faithful won't be disappointed, as the album bears all the hallmarks of vintage Mission: soaring, dramatic vocals; churning, reverb-drenched guitars; and an evocative, atmospheric air of mystery. Original guitarist Simon Hinkler even turns up as a guest, adding some of that old black magic to the 21st-century version of this long-running raincoat-rock institution.
