5.0 out of 5 stars
A Crushing Masterpiece, September 16, 2010
This review is from: The Failed Convict (Audio CD)
From start to finish, this record is incredible. Like a great noir film or a hard as nails crime novel, the story that threads through the album captivates and pulls you along as it follows the odyssey of escaped convict Jim.The lyrics and music both shine on this meticulously constructed record, seamlessly covering a lot of different sounds and emotions from punishing rage to melodic introspection, creating a gritty portrait of a scarred and broken man hurtling deeper into the darkness of his own soul as he traverses the seedy underbelly of America. Definitely an album to listen to all the way through, repeatedly. Get in your car and take a long nighttime drive with The Failed Convict. Always been a Cable fan, but this record has raised the bar substantially. And the amazing artwork by Aaron Horkey rounds out the package perfectly. Welcome back Cable. Well done.
