More than 30 years after the band’s inception and 16 years since their last album, Gang Of Four is back with a new album called “Content”. Are they still as relevant as they were back in 1979? Fuck no. They might have influenced everyone from LCD Soundsystem to the Peppers with their white groove, the songs on “Content” are average at best.
Time for Andy Gill and Jon King to throw in the towel once again (this is already their second reunion) and to let their legacy live on in the bands they influenced rather than becoming a shadow of their former selves with no sense of urgency left in them whatsoever.
Score: 4 out of 10
