i dunno, maybe it's just where i am with music nowadays. i get so bored listening to pop music anymore.

I feel as though they had matured as artists and was a lot more integrity to their playing compared to the wild early stuff. Dont get me wrong Miami in particular(Run Through The Jungle) is a great album & Fire of Love was the one that got me into them.
But if you think the Gun Club's later stuff is 'Pop' then you need a hearing aid.
