Human League have revealed the tracklisting and title of their new album.

Named Credo, the record from the veteran synth-pop band is set to be released in March next year. Its title is Latin for "statement of belief".

The band kicked off their UK tour at the Norwich UEA last night (November 29).

The track listing of Credo is:

'Never Let Me Go'
'Night People'
'Sky'
'Into The Night'
'Egomaniac'
'Single Minded'
'Electric Shock'
'Get Together'
'Privilege'
'Breaking The Chains'
'When The Stars Start To Shine'

I really wanted to like it.

Phillip Oakey's haunting vocals sound good as ever.

it'll be interesting to see where this record is released, my guess is the UK only, i doubt highly a US issue of it, though i thought that years ago and saw Bananarama, and simple minds new albums get US distribution while a-ha who had a deal with Universal at the time, couldnt get issued here, and basically the Bananrama and Simple Minds that were issued here did nothing and werent that good either. and im huge followers of both.

THe Human League is interesting though because i have never been to big on them, i mean Dare is a classic for that time, but they never grew musically and this song, although catchy with its keyboard programming, vocally and lyrically, i dont know, it seems TO RETRO, forced even.

I like one or two of their older songs, but this is truly horrible.

They never grew artistically because they were all about programming and synths thats the main issue with them, but the bigger issue is that there really is no other creative outlet in that band aside from Oakey, he is calling the shots.
