    Lion is Murphy's most enraged, engaged and engaging album. [No. 110, p.57]

    Lion is certainly king of its own dark and sublime, concrete industrial jungle. It roars strong and, at times, purrs in all the right places.

    eter Murphy’s once again located the razor-thin line between restraint and complete unhingedness that he hasn’t walked since Bauhaus’ first time around, and following his recent exploits has never felt more rewarding.

    If Lion--easily one of Murphy’s most solid solo releases--was made in less than a week, imagine what time and planning could accomplish.

    Lion is overflowing with vitality, crunch, volume, emoting, and everything that makes Peter Murphy himself.

    2011's Ninth was the leanest and most immediate collection of new material from Peter Murphy to arrive since the late '90s, and Lion, his tenth long-player, while a much different animal (pun intended) sonically, goes for the jugular in a similar fashion.
