Okay, Desjardins, much is forgiven. That first Divine Horsemen album was…not good. This is much much better. I don’t know what happened. I hated Time Stands Still AND that Flesh Eaters record. This sounds like when X hired a Rawk producer and shot for commercial success and just about got there.
Chris D. is never going to have a “hit record”, he’s too determined to be the American Nick Cave to get there.
Maybe Julie Christensen is a more musical influence than Exene cuz this is the dust bowl version of Ain’t Love Grand.
And someone should introduce them to rhymes.
Oh, and this album was excellent.
