The Sky’s Gone Out

Released

Compared to the awesome reach and range of Bauhaus’s first two albums, The Sky’s Gone Out feels like it falls between two stools in the end, neither quite a new artistic extension all around nor a consolidation of its earlier approaches throughout. As a collection of individual songs, though, it’s got a few keepers, ranging from a bit of almost misty-eyed nostalgia in “All We Ever Wanted Was Everything” to the now-almost classic Bauhaus sound and feel of “Silent Hedges” and “Spirit,” not to mention their blasting album-starting cover of Brian Eno’s “Third Uncle.”
