The four hundred and ninety-first album: #491 Bauhaus - Mask
While I certainly don't mind dark tracks or more depressing music, gothic rock is one where it pushes it too far for me. Mask is very theatrical in its darkness and sound and it's too much for me. A track like Hollow Hills strikes the balance into being creepy, but the title track Mask takes it so far, for example, that it's almost farcical. It feels like it goes for a specific audience, at least for a modern audience, and just isn't as engaging of a sound now
