Ian, Will and Hughbback in the U.S.S.R. Itbs hard to imagine Ian McCullough and Will Sergeant, the two remaining and essential Bunnymen, kicking back for a pint and a laugh. Certainly not on Siberia, the latest raincoat-athon from the sultans of psychedelic dourness, on which McCulloughbs iconic tenor floats, wavering lines like bYeah, thatbs me, cold as ice / On my knees, every night.b Itbs classic Bunnymen: single-note guitar solos phased over dark, cold lyrics and juxtaposed against Macbs warm post-Bowie croon. But therebs something disconcerting about Siberiabs familiarity. The Bunnymen sound more like their once-contemporariesbthe Psychedelic Furs on bSideways Eight,b U2 on bAll Because of You Daysbbthan the band ever did on, say, Ocean Rain. Perhaps itbs the result of studio reminiscences with Hugh Jones, the Heaven Up Here producer, whobs onboard for the first time since b81. Or perhaps, after a quarter-century of stardom, Mac and Will feel as alone as it gets in rock bnb rollblike theybre back in the pop gulag where it all began.
