Zombie birdhouse

"What's most frustrating about Zombie Birdhouse is how close it is to being a fantastic record. It's agonisingly close. Most songs only needed one or two more passes to turn them around. There are heavily processed beats drawn from Latin and Afrobeat rhythms, roaring synth drones, chiming guitars and ominous piano chords - in addition to the dependably hilarious lyrics, but there's a distinct lack of flavour... There's nothing that makes Zombie Birdhouse an essential Iggy set, except for it's wonderful sleeve art and couldn't-make-it-up trash-bag sound".

"If I have any complaints, it's that the second side gets a bit flaky with its rough mixes, sloppy endings and dub foolery. But the first side is a killer - acute, lucid and hard as diamond".
