Go Away White is more than a swansong. It's a minor masterpiece that proves Bauhaus has been nicely preserved.
-
Alternative PressThe proceedings sound loose, yet focused but never disappointing. [Apr 2008, p.160]
-
It picks up right where Bauhaus left off: a wet dream for original fans and a blast of recognition for the newly eye-lined.
-
FilterIt's so extravagant, trecherous and cocksure that it could almost make Interpol sound like a pleasant chamber quartet. [Mar 2008, p.94]
-
Go Away White sounds like the four were trying one last time to reclaim the idea of Bauhaus as band and ethos from all the many limiting clichés heaped on it, something which the album title, taken from the song "Black Stone Heart," slyly hints at.
-
Bauhaus can hold their head high, mission accomplished; but with no victory-lap tour, no more studio albums, and several awesome new tunes pointing at an un-actualized future, it all feels rather anti-climatic and lacking closure.
-
A tastefully matured Bauhaus produce enough fractured guitar and howling melodrama to wake the undead.
-
The end result is an album that’s one half decent (even if it is a bit indebted to Ash, Haskins, and Haskins’ post-Bauhaus career) and one half incredible.
