The Stranglers – Dark Matters – Album Review

"It’s a mature album. Policical, critical, acidic. Not that those themes are strangers to the bands back catalogue but this time round there seems an added vitriol."

benzinemag.net
"Le 18ème album de nos vétérans préférés du punk anglais original, The Stranglers, risque d’être leur dernier du fait de la disparition de Dave Greenfield. Profitons donc tant que nous le pouvons de ces chansons souvent superbes, où le groupe n’hésite pas à explorer de nouveaux territoires."

"Dernier rescapé des mythiques Étrangleurs de Londres, le bassiste toujours bondissant revient pour nous sur les musiques qui ont jalonné son parcours assez rock’n’roll, alors que paraît le dernier album de son groupe, “Dark Matters”."

"The Stranglers have been around for a while, but Dark Matters is their first studio effort in almost a decade. With nine years separating this album from 2012’s Giants, it’s the longest gap they’ve had between albums in a career that’s approaching fifty years."

"Even punk didn’t want The Stranglers: the movement for damaged outcasts drew the line at these Surrey brutes, seen as too thuggish, ancient, sexist and straight."
