JoeHNov 14, 2009Sadly a tired, stale, formulaic simulation of a once-legendary band.

ToddC.Nov 13, 2009Tracks 1-7 and 10 get better and better everytime you here them. A classic it will be, if The Fountain gets enough air play it should work it's magic on the newer generation. It's catchy lyrics and up beats has me rock'en again like back in the 80's when they first can to the U.S.

‘Think I Need It Too’, the best thing they’ve done in ages. And yet, much as we want to love it, the rest is a pulled punch.

Ultimately, The Fountain is an echo of an echo, inessential to all but the band's most devoted followers.
-
Their most accessible offering in a long time sees Ian McCulloch at his most lyrically playful and cocksure, hovering between confessional ("I cried a fountain dry") and mischievous, and firing off one-liners as if it were the band's 80s heyday.
