Looks pretty good, I think.

A few gripes, but nothing major:

My first would have to do with the screen resolution for which it was designed: 1440x960. My laptop is less than a year old, and goes up to 1440x900, meaning I have to scroll (even at maximum resolution) to see the bottom of the page. I normally view at 1280 by 768 because... well, I'm over 40 and so are my eyes.

As far as the "new" content goes - I think a lot of that was already on bunnymen.com - but disappeared when Peter took over.

It would also be nice to have navigation menu on the "news" section, which directs back to the other areas of bunnymen.com. Same goes for the "fan gallery" & "fan merchandise" sections.

All in all, not bad - not less than I was expecting, but less than I was hoping for, considering the wait and the buildup.

I like it. I think it's great that you can listen to all the albums - even though most fans own them all. I also like how they have incorporated the fans section - I still need to send some photos in. It's much, much better than the former site and it sounds like they are just going to improve upon it as the comments come in.[/b]

A great improvement! It is great the music is up, because many of us haven't shelled out the cash for some stuff. So much better than what was.

Ah, it's working now? Excellent. I tried to open it last night and got nada. Will have to give it a spin after work today.
