Well, "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Pelvis" is quite obviously one of the best things ever -- and the rest of the album ain't bad, either. It seems eclectic for the sake of being so, and probably shouldn't work then, but its mix of claustrophobia and theater is pretty damn enchanting.

Oh, the Barry Adamson album? Doesn't hold up to repeated listening. "STCFTHOTP" - what do you suppose he's going to rhyme with 'pelvis'? Oh right. Who uses the word 'pelvis', except for x-ray technicians? Why not use 'scapula' or 'falanges'? Also, Nick Cave sings a stately, bittersweet ballad. Whatever next?

Set The Controls is easily the best song ever made, so stop being a crackhead about it and just admit it. "Save me from my own hand" - best line ever.

The rest of the album should be shot.
