5th and final studio album by Bauhaus released 25 years following Burning From the Inside (1983).
The style is not a return to the heydays of the 1980s but more of a combination of the styles Peter Murphy and Love and Rockets have been involved with in recent years, thus making it an alt. rock, neo-psychedelia release with gothic rock references. The album became a reality after several years with attempts of reuniting the band. The first reunion period took place in 1998 when they put together a "Resurrection Tour" and a new best of album Crackle was released by Beggars Banquet - the band also recorded a new song, included in the film soundtrack for the animated sci-fi movie "Heavy Metal 2000" (a follow-up sequel to the iconic "Heavy Metal" from 1981). However, both Murphy and Love and Rockets continued to concentrate on their separate projects, and it wasn't until late 2005 that they once again found time for new concerts, and a new unification came about. They had played several concerts together over a longer period of time, and in 2006 the quartet went as far as to begin writing new songs again with the intent to release a new album. But the monkey was back and what had split the band 25 years earlier, once again led to a final disbandment allegedly even before releasing the new album.
Go Away White isn't all bad, I just don't find it of great interest, and just think that Love and Rockets and Peter Murphy respectively both have made better and more interesting albums than this.
