Album: What Are You Going To Do With Your Life? – the band’s 8th album

Released: 5 April 1999

Chart score: Peaked at #21 on the UK Albums Chart

TUTV says: A both heartwarming and soul-stirring record. With lots of questions, about you and me, me and you, relationships, grief and hope, daily life, life in general, love and pain and anything that troubles or enlightens our minds and thoughts about the people we really care for. A plain-spoken meditation about being human among your beloved one(s), about those mixed emotions that confuse our longing lives on a regular basis. An overlooked and underrated masterwork!

Three highlights…

– RUST –

– BABY RAIN –

– WHEN IT ALL BLOWS OVER –

Remarkable albums from the past…

‘What Are You Going To Do With Your Life?’ by ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN
Released: 16 April 1999 – Eight Bunnymen longplayer

ALL MUSIC wrote: “Echo & the Bunnymen made a dignified return in 1997 with ‘Evergreen’,
but that record displayed some hints of rustiness and a desire to stay hip – two things notably absent from its superb sequel, ‘What Are You Going to Do With Your Life?’ Trimmed to just the duo of Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant, Echo has succeeded where many of their peers have failed – they have matured without getting stodgy, they have deepened their signature sound without appearing self-conscious.”
Score: 4/5 – Full review here

TURN UP THE VOLUME! says: A melancholic diamond. An underrated masterwork
from start to finish. Great album title. Great cover. Great musings. Sergeant & McCulloch are genuine legends. Hail hail!
