  • Summary: This self-titled disc is the first release for the new project from Nick Cave, who adds "guitar player" to his CV. Seeing as how most of the Bad Seeds join in as well, we're still not sure why the new name was necessary. (Actually, it sounds even more like their earlier band, The Birthday Party.)

    There isn't a bad song on this album.

    An album more raw than an infected, 10-day-old open head wound. [Apr 2007, p.102]

    Grinderman isn't angry and it isn't raw, just a careful concoction of licentiousness and braying disdain ultimately monotonous and unexciting after the first four cuts.

    My god, what a lame album. Big bad hombres who begged their wives to let them go play golf, and then once they've got their Bud Lights in their hand they say "We told those bitches!" Nick Cave's lamest moment of all time. "No Pussy Blues"? How about "No Soul Blues."… Expand
