nick cave and the bad seeds aka grinderman 'grinderman 2'

im probably a bit biased here, i like it, on your rating system i'd give it 2.1......not the best nick cave album but still very good, i find he is one of those artists you either love or loathe. i might review it objectively over the next few days for you all after a couple of airings with the headphones on

Their second and last studio album, probably rightfully so. Not sure how/why I picked this up. It certainly wasn't for anything I just listened to. English band formed in 1983 and disbanded in 1992. Their largest popularity seemed to be in Japan for some reason. There were a few tracks here that were listenable but more that were pretty bad. Don't see where this album ever charted in the U.S. or the U.K.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Only thing I own by this Texas band formed in 1982. With that name, I'm surprised they got as far as they did. Then again, that may be how the cult following developed. How could those kids brains full of mush not like a band with that name. Three tracks on here I like a lot, but seven that I hate. You do the math. Ok fine, I'll do it. Comes out to 1.7. Just enough for a passing grade. Yee!!haw!!!. Pretty sure this is their highest charting album at #31 with the single of Pepper a little lower. Love that country sound in TV Star but Cough Syrup kicks butt.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Space

Best Track - Cough Syrup

She played for the angels
I played for the tribe
The summer had been stolen and the bases were all loaded
There was big Money on the line
Big money all the time yeah
There was big MONEY ON THE LINE
I can't walk so I guess I'm gonna stay at home
They can have my legs just leave my head alone
I was in the kitchen
The year was in the fall
A friend of mine had told me that theRE WERE NO POINT IN MOPIN'
No there were no point at all
There was big fire in the hall yeah
There weren't no points at all
I can't walk so I guess I'm gonna stay at home
They can have my legs just leave my head alone
And I can't talk so I guess I got nothin' to say
I'll keep my eyes just take these tears away
Lock stOck AnD barrel all the dogs were going FERAL and the car ran like a broken perculator
His liver had gone hard and he wouldn't mow the yard
There was big MONEY ON THE LINE
And I heard that his brother was a viking
He liked to sOLVE a problem with a gun
If you want to know the facts you gotta teach 'em how to act
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I'd rather be a sailor than a fighter
I'd like to sail a ship into the sun
If you wanna know the truth you gotta dig up Johnny BooTH
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I know that your mother is a MARTYR
I heard she's got connections with the mob
If you wanna learn the fight you gotta drink up all the light
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I'd rather be a matchstick than a lighter
I LIKE TO SEE THE WOOD CURL UP AND BURN
If you wanna touch the sky you must be prepared to die
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I hate cough syrup and I hate the FOOD in europe.
And I hate cough syrup it's TRUE
You wanna know the truth you gotta dig up Johnny BooTH
And I hate cough syrup don't you
I hate cough syrup it's TRUE

Loved these guys off and on for a time. Eleven year career and I don't think they had a bad album. David Byrne was always such a fun guy to watch. He was in to the music. You can always tell. With Brian Eno producing this third album, I think there was real collaboration going on, that worked well. They would continue that relationship. The Heads were starting to explore their capabilities here, with the African rhythms making their way, most notably on the lead off track, which I didn't care for. Life During Wartime has stuck with me for 30 years, so it must have something. Three more excellent tracks make this a good album. The clip for my favorite is just awesome. They got a nice workout and so did my feet, and my head. The album reached #21 in the states and #33 in the U.K. Life During Wartime leaped all the way to #80, amazing.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Electric Guitar

Best Track - Life During Wartime

Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
packed up and ready to go
Heard of some gravesites, out by the highway
a place where nobody knows
The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now
Lived in a brownstone, lived in the ghetto
I've lived all over this town

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
this ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
I ain't got time for that now

Transmit the message, to the receiver
hope for an answer some day
I got three passports, couple of visas
don't even know my real name
High on a hillside, trucks are loading
everything's ready to roll
I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nightime
I might not ever get home

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
this ain't no fooling around
This ain't no mudd club, or C. B. G. B.
I ain't got time for that now

Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, PA?
You oughta know not to stand by the window
somebody might see you up there
I got some groceries, some peanut butter
to last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers
ain't got no headphones
ain't got no records to play

Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time?
Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard
I can't write nothing at all
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
this ain't no fooling around
I'd love you hold you, I'd like to kiss you
I ain't got no time for that now

Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
we blended in with the crowd
We got computers, we're tapping phone lines
I know that ain't allowed
We dress like students, we dress like housewives
or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle so many times now
don't know what I look like!
You make me shiver, I feel so tender
we make a pretty good team
Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving
you ought to get you some sleep
Get you instructions, follow directions
then you should change your address
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day
whatever you think is best
Burned all my notebooks, what good are notebooks?
They won't help me survive
My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
the burning keeps me alive
Try to stay healthy, physical fitness
don't want to catch no disease
Try to be careful, don't take no chances
you better watch what you say

All sax & no guitars make Morphine an unusual concoction.

Vox, baritone sax, 2-string bass (?!), & drums is all you get with this lot, but it works very well. Good band and worth a spin if you fancy something a little out of the ordinary.
