Review

"Tom Waits + Nine Inch Nails + a BAD attitude = one cool ass, mutha f*cking CD!" --Dee Snider

Product Description

Combining the ramshackle snarl of Tom Waits with the methadone nod of Mark Lanegan and the storm clouds that loom above P.J. Harvey, Brian Grosz steeps his songs of masochistic sentiment in a tumbler of whiskey and then stirs it with the relic of a straight razor. Bedlam Nights, Grosz's debut as a solo artist, revels in the imperfections of passion with murder-suicide ballads, crippled lullabies and endlessly dark hallways filled with the lingering, metallic scent of ill-fated liaisons. The songs reveal a family portrait of fractured, motherless children set free in an imperfectly sterile world.

5.0 out of 5 stars New kid on the block, August 26, 2007

By	David Grosz "Big D" (Old Greenwich, CT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really didn't know whether I was going to like this recording when I first bought it, but as it turns out, I listen to it every day or two while I'm working in my studio. Each track is broadly different, showing a virtuosity of styles from track to track you don't get on most recordings because artists frequently try to "brand" their sound. This guy doesn't really care, he's in your face with everything he's got on every track. Sometimes I hear Led Zep, sometimes (well, often really) I hear Tom Waits and the very last track (the secret track) has got a little bit of Tiny Tim and his ukele. My favorite tracks are #1 and the secret track, but I gotta admit I loved em all.
