1983s BURNING FROM THE INSIDE is Bauhaus’ most effective, and sadly last album. This album shows all of the groups strengths. Bauhaus creates an immediately identifiable ‘mood’ in the mind of the listener, as in the opening track (“She’s in Parties”). They have an uncanny knack for revealing massive, dense beats in the middle of what would be, in others’ hands, straight-ahead rock songs.Bauhaus also has a unique ability to wring poignancy and nostalgia out of the weirdest lyrical constructs–as in the albums centrepiece, “Who Killed Mr. Moonlight”, introduced by piano and mournful saxophone.
The album originally ended with “Hope”, a brilliant three-minutes that advises “Make the most of a million times no” with choral vocals, a gorgeous, thick bass line, and a shimmering guitar.
This darkly gleaming jewel showcases the groups trademark echoed vocals and Kevin Haskins uncommonly precise drumming with cool horn section inserts.

This song is a cover by Kerli  of “She’s in Parties” by Bauhaus and appears on the EP Kerli (2007).

5.0 out of 5 stars At their magnificent best. It is their best work.
The final studio album by Bauhaus is a rather fractured piece with lead singer, Peter Murphy, laid low with viral pneumonia for most of its recording. The band played on and recorded a number of songs without him, some of which rate among the finest Bauhaus have ever produced. The best of these is “Slice of Life” written and sung by guitarist Daniel Ash. Opening with the magnificent single “Shes in Parties” the band take us through a range of styles, from the haunting acoustic mantra of “King Volcano” to David Jays “Who Killed Mr. Moonlight?” a slow piano piece. My personal favourite is “Honeymoon Croon” a reworking of a song Bauhaus first in wrote 1979. The chords of “Kingdom Coming” are straight out of “Space Oddity”. The self-explanatory “Antonin Artaud” gives us a lecture about the Theatre and its Double and “Honeymoon Croon” draws on Oscar Wilde’s “The Portrait of Dorian Gray” for reference.
Overall this is the best produced, sleekest work that the band came up with. The absence of Peter Murphy on some tracks allowed the other members to take the bands sound into other directions and this listeners thoughts on the album are one of regret: that Bauhaus did not stay together for a bit longer to follow up this great album. Hailed as the Godfathers of Goth, this album owes more to the glam and new romantic genres. The likes of Suede would die in an effort to come up with something this accomplished.

Burning from the Inside is the fourth album by British Gothic rock band Bauhaus, released in 1983 on Beggars Banquet Records. The album was released in the UK with the catalogue number BEGA 45
During the recording of the album, singer Peter Murphy was gravely ill, leaving the rest of the band to undertake much of the writing and recording process without him. As evidence of how much input the rest of the band had on the album, bassist David J and guitarist Daniel Ash sang lead vocals on a number of songs. This, combined with the fact that the band started recording without Peter, led to internal difficulties and by the time the album was released, they had already broken up.
A video was made for the single “Shes in Parties”.
