The band dominated the spirit of the post-punk era in the late 70's and early 80's with session recordings such as \"IT'S IRRATIONAL\".\n\n\n\nCo-released by BRISTOL ARCHIVE RECORDS and their own label LIBERATED SOUND DEVELOPMENT, this is GLAXO BABIES' first full-length album in about 40 years.\n\n\n\nThe album is not a retrospective, but an ambitious work of reinvention and restructuring, with songs written by original guitarist DAN CATSIS (also active in THE POP GROUP and MAXIMUM JOY), a core member of the band for many years, and reconstructed with two new vocalists. STEVE BUSH of ESSENTIAL BOP contributed the lyrics to \"I DON'T WANT TO BE LOVED,\" and NEIL DAVIDGE, known as the producer of MASSIVE ATTACK, adds sonic color to the song. On bass is STEVE STREET, an important figure in Bristol who has supported the scene for many years, and JAMIE HILL, who has worked with MOUTH and HEAD, is on drums, adding to the depth of the Bristol scene.\n\n\n\nThe album opens with \"LIVING THE DREAM\" with a strong guitar attack, and an aggressive and dense groove runs through the entire album. The following \"WAITING FOR SOMETHING\" poses a disturbing question, while \"GIVE ME\" and \"ANYMORE\" showcase the different expressive abilities of the two new vocalists. DRIFTING\" opens up a fantastic soundscape and shows the band's deepening.\n\n\n\nThe second half of the album is filled with tension-filled songs such as \"I DON'T WANT TO BE LOVED\" and \"STOP ME NOW,\" which are reminiscent of the Bristol sound, and the title track \"MEN OF STONE\" symbolically depicts rigidity and nihilism. The title track \"MEN OF STONE\" symbolically depicts rigidity and nihilism, while the final track \"CHANGE IS FOREVER\" is a visual tour de force and shows the true essence of GLAXO BABIES, which embodies chaos and order simultaneously. It is a masterpiece that fuses the band's past and present.","brand":"Bristol Archives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51923593855265,"sku":"5052571218716","price":52.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/5052571218716.jpg?v=1760638248","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ca\/products\/5052571218716","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
