Its catchy as hell.

It just didn’t sound the same, so I forgot about. Listening to it again, I think what probably turned me off was that the production (by Kurt Ballou) didn’t sound like shit. 

Listening to the two albums back to back, Songs For Burning Lovers sounds like it was recorded on a boombox. Its still a great album, there is no question about that, but the production can’t touch Rotten Thing To Say.

Go buy things and see them live every chance you get, you will not be disappointed.

Buy the album here (MP3, 180-gram vinyl, or cassette) and the game for iOS or Steam. 

I highly recommend both the game and the soundtrack.

Originally by Nick Cave

Two “Jack the Rippers” in a row is probably ill-advised, despite being two totally different songs. 

This thing slays. Go buy the record its on (iTunes or on vinyl), and then buy their full-length album and go see them. The live show is amazing.

I can not say enough how much I love this song and band.
