 Mark Lanegan Album Reviews
Lanegan’s choice of songs is impressive (can’t turn turds into chocolate bars, can you?), but if there’s one thing that’s striking about this album, it must be that it sounds like a Mark Lanegan album with Lanegan doing Lanegan-songs.
Still, Mark Lanegan is one of the most dependable singers around and his stubborn refusal to release one genre exercise after another deserves shitloads of credit.
Lanegan mutters or croons his lyrics as well as on any of his solo albums (no bluesy howls on this one), while Campbell's breathy, half-whispered contributions are endlessly fascinating in their ethereal quality.

Mark Lanegan album’s should come with a warning label that says something like: DO NOT EXPOSE TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT, because this is just not daytime listening material.
Lanegan, who is probably better known as the frontman for Seattle’s only remaining bastion of grunge, Screaming Trees, has a voice that sounds like he’s been drinking glasses of sand, but he writes the sort of desperate, dark blues tunes that suit it perfectly.
Lanegan layers all sorts of sounds -- guitars, horns, percussion, harmonica, feedback, and of course his gritty but strangely soothing baritone vocals -- into the mix with just the right amount of delicacy.

 Live Review: Mark Lanegan Band
Lanegan’s tenure with the Queens of the Stone Age-circus obviously didn’t do him any harm: at the end of 2001 he played at the tiny, but cosy AB Club, whereas this time around he performed in a venue about twice as big.
Lanegan never reached an audience like that before, but if this is the result of being a member of musical soap opera The Queens of the Stone Age, then I'm not complaining.
Even if his backing band were playing the show of their lives, we wouldn't have known it, as the sound of the guitars lacked both the finesse and the force wherever it was needed, while each solo was a shrill attack on the ears.

 Mark Lanegan Band 'Bubblegum'
As befits a raconteur of Lanegan’s disposition, ‘Bubblegum’ - his sixth solo outing - is in essense, a soul record steeped in the blues, albeit one sat firmly in the opening overs of the 21st century.
As Lanegan’s bourbon-soaked baritone laments of waiting for his “…ship to come in/But I can’t say how or when” during the haunting, naked honesty of the opiatied torpor of ‘One Hundred Days’, you can’t help feeling that on the day it finally docks, Lanegan will be waiting at the airport.
Mark Lanegan is the grizzled, wizened whisky priest who’ll not only tell you exactly what happened to your rock’n’roll but where, when and how.

 Mark Lanegan: Here Comes that Weird Chill (Methamphetamine Blues, Extras and Oddities) - PopMatters Music Review
During grunge's heyday, Mark Lanegan was best known for his leading role in Screaming Trees, one of the genre's few bands that captured your interest for more than ten minutes.
Lanegan's next proper release isn't due until the spring of 2004, so Chill started out as an appetite-whetting single that grew to an 8-song EP of assorted odds 'n' ends from those sessions.
Since Lanegan's new album is reportedly under the same "Mark Lanegan Band" moniker that adorns Chill, it feels like a safe bet to say that this EP is an intriguing teaser for that album.

 Mark Lanegan - Sideways In Reverse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Mark Lanegan, former Screaming Trees frontman and current member of Queens Of The Stone Age, has one of the best voices in rock.
Here, as a prelude to his forthcoming solo album, we have a typically bluesy, raw double header, where the famous Lanegan croak is ably backed up by a wall of fuzz, as drums and guitars and bass overload to outdo each other.
With the album set to feature collaborations with other members of the scuzz rock royalty such as Greg Dulli and Polly Harvey, this is a tasty appetiser for what should be one of the rock albums of the year.

 Mark Lanegan: Bubblegum Aversion.com Review
In typical Lanegan style, it describes a less-than-stable state of being, coming from a line in “Bombed”: “When I’m bombed, I stretch like bubblegum.” An A-List group of friends appear throughout the album, including PJ Harvey, Greg Dulli, Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan, the latter two of Guns’n’Roses/Velvet Revolver fame.
Lanegan builds the bulk of the tracks around simple, fairly repetitive riffs, as if he constructed them from the ground up in the studio.
As usual, Lanegan’s first-person lyrics are filled with references of blood running warm, the end of the world, a lack of morphine and an inability to come down.

 Mark Lanegan - Epitonic.com: Hi Quality Free and Legal MP3 Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Mark Lanegan first entered the public eye as the charismatic long-haired frontman of the Ellensburg, Washington psych-grunge quartet the Screaming Trees, who enjoyed modest commercial success with their 1992 album, Sweet Oblivion as beneficiaries of the post-Nirvana feeding frenzy that took place in the Pacific Northwest at that time.
His sandpapery baritone is perfect for the acoustic, confessional mode of most of his solo work, a completely distinctive, weary and resigned croon that will invariably send a sweet sad shiver through you as he ponders the mysteries of solitude, pain, and regret.
Lanegan has released four solo albums over the past decade, all on Sub Pop: 1990's The Winding Sheet, 1994's Whiskey for the Holy Ghost, and 1998's Scraps at Midnight all consist of original material, while on 1999's I'll Take Care of You, Lanegan reworks some of his favorites in his strikingly reedy, lonesome, blues-at-midnight style.

 Mark Lanegan: Field Songs: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Mark Lanegan, the solo artist, has written music with his feet planted firmly in aged American soil.
Lanegan's determination to hone his sound culminated with 1998's I'll Take Care of You, a covers album that ranged from Buck Owens- to Jeffrey Lee Pierce-penned songs, yet managed to unify all of them.
As always, Lanegan's voice is as compellingly loud and high-pitched as it is low and smoky; but accompanied, as he is during this moment, by the almost tribal voices of the women, his music reaches an uplifting epiphany.

Like his contemporary Chris Cornell, Lanegan has cropped his locks and left a drug-hazed '90s behind him, moving from musical strength to strength and winning many over in the process.
Lanegan picks up the baton and runs with it from start to finish, never losing the thread, from languid, regretful opener When Your Number Isn't Up to the fading tones of Out Of Nowhere's fragile Americana.

In the dark and dreary world of Mark Lanegan, there is occasionally reason to smile.
His fourth solo album, I'll Take Of You, is made up entirely of obscure covers, but Lanegan, who at his most down-hearted can make Leonard Cohen sound like a motivational speaker, tackles this batch of blues, soul, folk and country rarities with vigor and something approaching enthusiasm.
The upbeat turn is, of course, relative, and none of these songs are likely to get Lanegan confused with Elton John, but he's got to feel better knowing that he can sound just as compelling singing about life as he can singing about death.

 Splendid E-zine reviews: Mark Lanegan
It’s easy to understand Lanegan's appeal; it's all in his delivery, a throaty rumble that comfortably tells tales that have been left behind because they couldn’t keep up in a world moving too fast.
Here, Lanegan seems to capture the real secret of blues: no matter how bad it hurts, hurting still feels more like something than the nothing of loneliness.
Whether Lanegan has gone to the well one too many times or not, he still writes with a wickedly powerful pen -- and songs like "Kimiko’s Dream House" and "No Easy Action" are still light years ahead of the curve.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Mark Lanegan: Bubblegum
If his stint in Queens of the Stone Age has taught Mark Lanegan anything, it's that life is a lot more tolerable when you're wandering through it stinking of sin and seeing double.
Most potent (and harrowing) of the lot is "Can't Come Down", a grainy addict's rumination that sounds as if Lanegan made a deal with the devil to secure its tin-can-on-a-string rhythms and burning angel guitar lines.
The difference between Lanegan and most performers of his ilk is that you know he has lived life at the bottom end, so to hear him speak of atrocity, pain and craving is to hear it from the horse's mouth.

Image:Lanegan Here Comes That.jpg Mark Lanegan (born November 25, 1964 in Ellensburg, Washington) is a singer and songwriter.
Lanegan's solo albums show more distinct blues and folk influences than his work with Screaming Trees.
This is most apparent on the 1999 album I'll Take Care of You, on which Lanegan covers songs by prominent folk and RandB artists such as Tim Hardin and Booker T. and the MGs.

 DOA - Mark Lanegan - Bubblegum
Like Johnny Cash, Lanegan is able to present both stoic confidence and human frailty in the same moment, looming large over a set that veers from acoustic mood pieces to growling rockers while tracing a common thematic thread.
Surprisingly, underneath all the gutter blues poetry, Lanegan rallies a resilient tone, a recognition that he has lived a life that shouldn’t be romanticized.
And while Lanegan pairing himself with a word like bubblegum is something akin to Tom Waits auditioning for American Idol, Bubblegum is about as close to a definitive statement as he has made.

For his cover of Eddie Floyd's 1969 single "Consider Me," former Screaming Trees frontman Mark Lanegan eschews the original song's doo-wop background singers and muffles the plush horn section that bears its Stax/Volt pedigree.
By the time Lanegan gets around to crooning the song's plaintive chorus, we're left wondering if his ostracized subject really has any choice but to accept his offer.
See, this is a collection of songs that are of the same origin and landscape as Lanegan's previous works-- a landscape recognizable as the stark, tortured midnight soul of his previous three solo affairs.

 Mark Lanegan Band: Bubblegum [2004] Shaking Through.net: Music: Review
When Mark Lanegan began releasing solo albums in the early '90s, he was still fronting the Seattle-based Screaming Trees, an outlet that, no doubt, more than satisfied his appetite for hard rock.
Given that Lanegan's solo records continued in that vein throughout the '90s (and up to 2001's Field Songs), and indeed became his main musical vessel after the dissolution of Screaming Trees, it's tempting to frame Bubblegum as a reconciliation of two extremes.
After all, it does traverse rocky terrain similar to his short-lived association with Queens of the Stone Age, even as it showcases the same gift for grim, dusky balladry as his solo efforts.

 Mark Lanegan Band - Bubblegum - Stylus Magazine
Yet, until now, Lanegan has been happy to rock all day and ruminate all night: Bubblegum is his first attempt to produce a fusion of his two worlds (after the also excellent EP Here Comes That Weird Chill).
On this track Lanegan’s voice is absolutely sublime: it’s rare for me to remark on phrasing and accentuation in a rock track, but he approaches the studied perception of Ol’ Blue Eyes himself.
A duet—of sorts—between Lanegan and PJ Harvey, it’s a driving, fuzzy track that offers the first glance of the new musical direction that Mark is pursuing; obviously, this time, he didn’t leave all of the effects pedals over at Josh Homme’s house the last time he was over.
