Music reviews of Mutiny/The Bad Seed
Music Review: FLAME ON!!!!!
Rating: 5 Stars
That Conqueror Worm, that writhing slug that was the Birthday Party came to rest here..."in separate ditches"...RIP 1983.
Just as they hit the final nail on the head, the BP crumbled to dust. No small wonder this wasn't an album at all but 2 EP's later compiled together for CD. Without a doubt Mutiny/Bad Seed towers above their previous debaucheries It all came to a fore here & where was there to go after? Of course, frontman, Nick Cave later when on to an inspired solo career but you haven't heard him till you've heard this.
"Sonny's Burning" greets you with the abandoned war cry, "Hands up! Who wants to die!" What follows is a sonic/lyrical assault, stringing up the proceedings & setting them on fire.
"Wildworld" is a love song teetering dangerously over the precipice. "Deep In The Woods" is a break up song like none other, sarcastically mocking its own willful morbidity. "Jennifer's Veil" could have come straight out of Edgar Allen Poe, while "Swampland" howls up a storm of paranoia like nothing since The Stooges' Funhouse.
Though "Pleasure Avalanche" might just be the only disposable track, "Say A Spell" is an overlooked gem penned by signature guitarist Rowland Howard. A talent oft overshadowed by Cave's antics.
Speaking of which, "Mutiny In Heaven" cannot be denied. One of Cave's best BP songs. A Season in Hell, where the protagonist manically tries to escape the clutches of self-destruction on "doctored wings". A perversely optimistic ending to all the havoc wrought herein.
Sure, the self-enamored "Goth" movement pounced on The Birthday Party like flies on carrion, but these guys had no idea what "Goth" was. They were too busy making an unholy racket. I mean how many "Goth" bands had a bass player decked out like an Urban Cowboy?
So just sweep all those cobwebs aside & take this for what really is: a ferocious, careening blast of Rock & Roll. As explosive as Funhouse or Raw Power. As DIY as the Velvet Underground. The sound of a band on fire. Leaving only ashes to haul.
