"Grave Disorder" demonstrates that, far from being washed up old punksters, The Damned are alive and well and creating excellent and innovative music, far better than the botched "Not Of This Earth" from the mid-1990s and even their more commercial efforts on the MCA Label back in the 1980s. For those who loved "The Black Album," and "Strawberries," this is the album you've been waiting 15 years to hear.

The range of songs on "Grave Disorder" is extremely impressive - - from slow, haunting ballads to incredibly fast and hard charging punk rock - and the lyricism of Captain Sensible and the voice of Dave Vanian remain in fine form. New bandmembers Pinch, Patricia Morrison and Monty Oxy Moron are superb in their musical ability with noteworthy songs including "Song.com", "Democracy?" and "Would You Be So Hot (If You Weren't Dead?)"

If you want to hear great new music from a time-tested band, experience "Grave Disorder."

Man! Wow! Finally I've got new music from the Damned to listen to! This album shows just how great this band was, and still is. It picks up where '82's "Strawbwerries" left off without skipping a beat. By the way, DO NOT get "Not of this Earth". It's Nothing like the Damned should sound like. Get this, "Strawberries", and "The Black Album" (get it on vinyl too!). Make sure you take a good listen to "Would You Be So Hot (If you weren't dead?)" It grew on me and now is stuck in my head for a week. I hope I don't wait 19 more years 'till the next one.

Never say die! Whoa, what great tuneage from the boys who everybody (including myself) counted out. "Amen" blasts religion more tunefully and funnier than "Anti-pope" of yore. This album reminds me of "The Black Album", but is a hell of a lot more (and less) mature. Good to have the Capn back. If you've been holding back on getting this, please reconsider. Oh yeah, and see em live too.

This album certainly lives up to my expectations for what a Damned album should be. The tracks go from punk chaos, to psychedlic to goth ballads....a little bit of something for everyone. Favorite songs so far include "Song.com" (despite the title), Thrill Kill (awesome guitar and menacing vocals)and "Would you be so hot (if you weren't dead". A can't imagine any Damned fan being disappointed with this album and hopefully it will win them so new unholy converts.

my favorite damned albums are machine gun etiquette of course, the often overlooked black album, the phenomenal strawberries, and as surprising as it will sound the latest damned album "grave disorder" which im reviewing right here...democracy? is a rahter weak start compared to the past albums, but still a good song, the rest of the album picks up the pace and slows down for a haunting end. picture phantasmagoria with less keyboards and done better. not to mention it can be humorous at times as well...the song "w" proves that..."lookin for action" makes me laugh sometimes as well...the best two songs in my opinion that make this album a must to damned fans are "thrill kill" and "would you be so hot if you weren't dead?"...trust me when i say that the british still have what it takes to be punk in this new millenia. with the growing number of sellouts and punk bands in the US that are still around from this dayand age, they all sound old and gray compared to this(well maybe TSOL is an exception)...yeah the UK still has Adicts, GBH, Exploited, and The Damned. Anyways, I higly recommend this album.
