...according to our Dave on 02 September 2010.

Another slab of quality from Messrs. Cave and Co. This is about as dirty and sleazy as you would hope to get. They certainly know how to pummel a tune into your face. 'Heathen Child' stomps along with great gusto, and Nick Cave sounds better then ever. The real treat is on the flip side. Instead of a pointless remix, they have reworked the track, adding Robert Fripp(!) into the mix and made a great track even better. Fripp's searing guitar and masterly technique really lends some depth and texture to the piece, and makes you want more. I reckon adding some Frippage into the mix is a stroke of genius and it gives the song more class. They still sound like 30 Odd Foot Of Grunts though, who happen to be my favourite Aussie rock band of all time... Much better than Birthday Party. Or INXS. Ohhhh!!! Genius...

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
