The aesthetics of the goth lyrics was actually my point in the OP with Cave as a reference point but you knew that
.
I understand that the vocal style would put a fair few off. In fact 99.9% of the listening public who are open to something different I would suggest. I dread to think what the more conservative types would say
.
But that is not an issue for me. After as many years of listening to music I need to be challenged at times and this has been a good one for that. I am liking the album a fair bit more with a few plays. I have acquired the taste
Janszoon I have played Pictures From Life's Other Side a couple of times now but not yet Temporary Shelter. Pictures From Life's Other Side is as you said a cleaner sound and more produced. Not sure that I like that as much as Wrong Side of Memphis as that seems a fresher sound but I have not played it enough so time will tell.
