    When Mark Lanegan produces a mediocre electro-pop album, then you know for sure, humanity is doomed! There are some decent songs in, but if you expect the raw, emotional, melancholy masterpieces of years past you're in for an unpleasant surprise.

    Confirms what we already know. Mark Lanegan is worth his weight in musical gold.[Mar 2012, p.85]

    Blues Funeral generally succeeds because Lanegan knows exactly what his audience wants and is willing to play to his strengths.

    Lanegan remains a master of mood, his baritone croon one of rock's most inviting instruments. But even that voice can't patch over the weak spots on this inconsistent album.
