    There are moments of eroded aimlessness to Barfly, but they're few and far between. What's left is a fierce, simmering, ghost-steeped album that finally gives form to one of rock's great unresolved mysteries.

    It's a curious creature with habits of its own, though the results suggest they shouldn't end this grand experiment just yet.

    While it doesn't quite account for the storied legend of the band behind it (these guys wrote Sonic Reducer, Ain't It Fun, and Final Solution, after all), Barfly is an album that sounds immediately important.
