 A second-tier purchase, certainly particular, but with ideas snatched from the big names in the scene.

 "I waited for 'Blues Funeral' with the same anticipation as one waits for a lover... and it all vanished by the third track."

 "An album called 'Blues Funeral,' and it looks like it’s been scavenged from a stall at an indie market."

The reviewer initially feels deep admiration for Mark Lanegan, especially praising early tracks like 'Bleeding Muddy Waters' and 'The Gravedigger’s Song.' However, excitement fades by the third track with a disappointing shift in style. The album drifts towards an overly polished, radio-friendly sound reminiscent of Moby, losing the raw emotion and swampy blues that defined Lanegan’s earlier work. Though some songs briefly recapture the artist’s essence, overall the album underwhelms the fan's expectations. Discover the highs and lows of Mark Lanegan’s Blues Funeral—listen now and decide if it lives up to the legend.
