A finely crafted old school rock album filled with hard-driving songs populated by angst-ridden characters that strain to shed some light on the state of things while simultaneously rocking out.  Grinding guitars and whining keyboards glide over a solid rhythm while Cave drones on.  While this is certainly not up to the level of Abattoir Blues -- his masterpiece, in our opinion --  it's a finely crafted piece of work that gives ample evidence that Cave & Co. are still on a roll, and is certainly worth a listen (you'll have to click around a bit to find it, but the whole album is [or, at least was] up for your listening pleasure).
