90Soulsavers continue to challenge themselves and are able to produce a great album musically and lyrically. Overall, the album is cohesive and strong on almost every level.
-
90While the two outer instrumentals are undeniably moving, this record is definitely Mark Lanegan's. There is no voice quite like his--and none that leaves the same impact.
-
Wander no more, Lanegan. It's clear to see that, with Soulsavers, you've found salvation.
-
80Soulsavers shove the mic in Mark Lanegan's hand and tell him to growl as loud as he can. He brings his friends, they all join in, and they make a lot of sense.
-
Never before has a band name been more aptly descriptive of their music.
-
80Broken repeats the team-up, but in wider-screen yet, fully evocative of its genesis in the sprawl of Los Angeles. [Sep 2009, p.95]
-
Fabulously moody third album from British production duo whose roster of gloomy vocalists now includes Richard Hawley and Jason Pierce alongside regular collaborator Mark Lanegan.
-
Broken is more diverse than "It's Not How Far," however, is its refusal to be hemmed in. [Fall 2009, p.67]
-
70Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age) is undoubtedly at the heart of Broken, but he's also joined by guests like Butthole Surfers frontman Gibby Haynes, Spiritualized's Jason Pierce, Pulp's Mike Hawley, and Faith No More's Mike Patton. There's also newcomer Red Ghost, who more than carries her weight in making Broken a first-class Soulsavers disc.
-
63Too often its soundtrack atmosphere is too thick, its arrangements as obvious as a painted backdrop.
-
60While Lanegan could sing the Richard Stilgoe songbook and still enthral, there remains a hint of contrivance about Soulsavers' self-consciously cinematic, grungey trip hop. [Sep 2009, p.95]
