Not the Greatest but Still PRETTY DARN GOOD!

Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

My favorite tracks from this are the hilariously cynical "For My Next Trick I'll Need a Volunteer" and "I Was in the House When the House Burned Down." My least favorite was the inexplicable cover of Steve Winwood's "Back in the Highlife" which was ... unusual; something like a Hyena in a Tuxedo.

It's hard to believe that his album is (as of this writing) twenty years old. It was released in 2000, and the meditations on death, aging, and the like sound just as poignant and relevant today.

A Blast of Refreshingly Pungent Air

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2005

Verified Purchase

After several years out of the 'scene,' Warren Zevon played a tape of his new songs for Jackson Browne. Browne asked him who he was making an album for, and Zevon told him "no one." A few calls later, Zevon had a deal with Danny Goldberg's Artemis Records, and I'm sure no fan has ever been sorry.

He blasts us in the face from the get-go, with the Dylanesque folk fire of "I Was In the House When the House Burned Down," takes us through a couple of more-or-less typical Zevon moments (the title track, "I'll Slow You Down"), and then slaps us with "Hostage-O," a plea for help coming from the side of everyone who feels remote and emotionally helpless. ("You can treat me like a dog if you make me feel like others feel.") Brilliant.

He winds up the album with "Don't Let Us Get Sick." At the time it was sad and poignant, now it just wipes you out. ("Don't let us get sick/Don't let us get old/Don't let us get stupid, all right?/Just let us be brave/And make us play nice/And let us be together tonight.")

His observations are offset by sparse, mostly folky accompaniment (acoustic guitar, bass, percussion..a little piano).

Powerful, pungent, emotionally raw and fantastic.

One of his best. Miss em all the time. I wish he could have gotten it together with his addictions but then on the other hand he might not have been able to tell these song stories with such life. Hard to know but miss him. I love the gentle 'Don't Let Us Get Sick...'.

Powerful, if not disturbing, independent masterpiece

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2000

Verified Purchase

Let's get one thing clear: Zevon's style has changed over the years. The songs are more sophisticated, the vocals are more hesitant, and, in the case of this latest effort, the traditional classic rock artist formula is wisely avoided. This work is not from someone who is settling down at his age, although some tracks could convince you that he was somehow forced to do so because he's afraid of screwing up again (this guy should read up on the lifestyle rituals of the Roman Emperors, then maybe he'll at least have some references to contrast himself). Some of the songs are simply beautiful, but one cannot help but wonder whether these pitch-dark tracks should be applauded, or rather affixed with warning labels from the American Psychological Association -- <WARNING: DO NOT TAKE SERIOUSLY>

The one Zevon album that truly MUST be heard on record.

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2020

Been waiting twenty years for this to be on the medium that, more than any other Zevon release, it truly belongs on. Magnificient LP, truly intimate. And the last two tracks - wow.

Dark optimism.

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2002

Verified Purchase

Zevon's best album since his first and maybe his best period. There is not a bad track on this album and that is rare. The songs are very dark (death, aging, regret, bad choices made) but underlying everything is an upbeat current or at least one that says that I've learned from all of these scars. Several other reviewers think that Hostage-o is about S&M. Well, I guess in a way but my take is that it is about substance addiction. Zevon was big into vodka (long ago) from what I've heard and this fits the lyrics. Fistfull of Rain owes a lot to the Dead's Box of Rain but is very nice and stands on it's own feet. Back in the High Life is a superb cover. Just buy this album if you've made it this far.

Despite the pain life is worth living.

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2001

Verified Purchase

Warren Zevon's ability to write songs that speak directly to the listener has always been his greatest strength. On many of his albums his focus has wavered and made for uneven albums, often hit or miss. Life'll Kill You stays right on target. Singing about the perils of being human, how we struggle through addictions, fear death, and sometimes find life just a painful experience; Warren has created songs that touch on all the trials and tribulations of being human. No small feat. By performing these songs with little accompaniment, an intimate experience is created, one that draws the listener closer to the heart of the recording. A classic study of the human condition.

Another great album from the genius that was Warren Zevon

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is one of Warren’s later albums. The iconoclastic wit is tinged with a a new reflective awareness of mortality, but the fierce intelligence is undimmed, & the songs have become musically a little leaner, weighted with an almost post-punk delight in the possibilities of making some noise. It’s a wonderful balance of Warren’s hard-won maturity & the enduring essential gonzo teenager within. Pointless to try to play favourites - there is not a spare or unmemorable song here. The emotions & attitudes range from delight to heartbreak, from the mordantly ironic to the disarmingly beautifully sincere. The album has a subtle shape & intent to it, & the last two songs Ourselves to Know & Don’t Let Us Get Sick a perfect triumph of Warren’s songwriting craft, both highly personal & resonantly universal.

Zevon

One of Zevon’s best albums, the best of those released post 1980’s.

Arrived in perfect condition. One of Warren’s finest albums, very pleased to have this on vinyl, a fuller sound than the CD version.

Review of Life'll Kill Ya by Warren Zevon

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 20, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is my favourite Warren Zevon album with many outstanding tracks such as "For my next trick i'll need a volunteer", "Back in the high life again", "Don't let us get sick" and "I'll slow you down". Definitely a good starting point for people who haven't listened to any of Warren's albums before. A much underrated singer-songerwriter. This album comes highly recommended.

Always liked Zevon's irreverant songs and am glad to report this continues in the same vein. Biggest regret is not getting tickets to see him just before he died.
