Jan 17, 2013Fabulous review. I've been listening to it on a streaming (official!) sharedsorrows.com - and you're not exaggerating. Ode to Sad Disco on paper sounded like a terrible idea but the execution is wonderful.

Mar 15, 2012Mr Lanegan does it again. A very very special record. You'll struggle to hear anything better this year. This will deservedly feature in most right minded folks best of/top 10 lists come December. A "Let England Shake" for 2012.

Mar 14, 2012On blues funeral Mark Lanegan has added some some 80s style electronics to his usual bleak mixture of alternative rock and rootsy blues; surprisingly this works incredibly well; and tunes like ode to sad disco and, in particular, Harbour View Hospital are real highlights on what is probably his best album yet.
-
Mar 1, 2012When 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.

Feb 21, 2012Blues Funeral is a dark, lyrical and hypnotic piece of alt-rock/blues with a strong electronic undercurrent. Listeners who are looking for something pop-pier and less murky will do well to look elsewhere. For those who appreciate the darker side of things, it is an album to savor.

Feb 12, 2012Great! I'm blown away,particularly with those songs driven by more noticeable electropop influence,kind of new moment in Lanegan's canon.And 'Ode to Sad Disco' is the very best disco song I heard in ages!

Under The RadarMar 21, 2012Confirms what we already know. Mark Lanegan is worth his weight in musical gold.[Mar 2012, p.85]
-
Mar 12, 2012Blues Funeral generally succeeds because Lanegan knows exactly what his audience wants and is willing to play to his strengths.

Mar 6, 2012Lanegan 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.
