[kj] grinderman

[n0153 jr]

Hey man!
As I said, I gave it a listen and nothing caught my attention... he
has done far better stuff with both the Bad Seeds or The Birthday
Party... it all sounded very unnatural to me... very very fake... and
those guitars, IMO, are godawful!

You might find it curious, but off the whole album Electric Alice was
the one I liked the least!

IMO, the album reeks of pretentiousness, lack of spirit and, above
all, lack of inspiration....

but, as was said before, this is only one man's opinion!
