Sleep With Me/Version
"On the Steps of the Cathedral" is killer, too, one of my favorite more-or-less spoken word songs, and "Lexington Slowdown" is another good downbeat track. Beasty cover of "Clear Spot", too.
After "Skeletal History" it's all diminished falling action but if it had just been the first 6 tracks, this would be one hands down one of my favorite EPs ever.

Rather weird on first listening, but really gets better every time around.
His voice is partly pretty distorted on these songs. Sometimes it sounds as if he is singing through a watering can. The music is much rougher than on the records I knew before. But the tracks really get hypnotizing after a short time.
Choice tracks: "Methamphetamine Blues", "Message to Mine", "Wish You Well" and "Sleep With Me (Version)"

Classic dark Lanegan ! He really should do an album with some pretty voiced female vocalist to accentuate the nasty grime of his voice…oh…ok…it’s not my idea then.

Certainly can't judge this one by it's ultra-crappy cover, Lanegan among the finest vocalists in rock and in fine voice here, as always. Fans know what to expect: dirty, grimy, rootsy, darkness, like Tom Waits and some blues singer from the depths of hell got together to jam on minimalist noisy rock songs... Some great ones here: the title cut, with its relentless pouding, the beautiful Lexington Slow Down, the abrasive Skeletal History... Some great supporting work, too, from QotSA fellows Nick and Josh and Twilight Singer Greg Dulli...

You would be forgiven, upon hearing the first bar of this EP, for assuming that this was a new release by Tom Waits. In fact, Lanegan possesses a similar whiskey drenched voice, and it is to his credit. Nothing says uber-cool like a throat full of gravel and bile, and Lanegan has proved his worth in that department over and over again.
First track "Methamphetamine Blues" has a nice flavour and then there are some other tracks that are, you know, not bad and they pass the time but I wouldn't suffocate without them, Gnome Sayin? But suddenly a trickle of notes exudes forth from a grand piano and we are given "Lexington Slow Down" which has been, since the very first time I laid ears upon it, one of my most pleasing late night drunk songs in which I can wallow in self pity and memories and regret. Why is this such an enjoyable experience you may well be wondering? Well, according to Milan Kundra, he of the vague conceptions surrounding the post existentialist novel, "Happiness is the longing for repetition." I don't think I need to divulge any further information, do you?
A little bit of "Lexington's" majesty must have rubbed off on the next track "Skeletal History" as this is a nice, post grunge (oh no, there goes that bloody word again) little number which is most satisfying when combined with the final whiskey of the night. After this I remember very little as it's not all five star material, but for a CD I was given for nothing, three really good tracks is a little beyond what you can ask for and expect.

This is my first Mark Lanegan record and I like it a lot. Some of the Queens of the Stone Age sound has rubbed off on him but it also has a dirty quality that has a good vibe.

This EP takes a while to warm up to. However, once you've given it a few listens, some songs on it will really grab your attention (Especially "Message to Mine"). All in all, it's good, but far from best.
