Free Music Notes for Brothel To Thecemetery

Free Music Review: Quickly becoming my favorite band
Hit: 5 Stars

The Tiger Lillies have a distinctively European sound to them, but it's often a burlesque noise that stands in contrast to the bizarre lyrics about freaks, geeks, whores, and the hopeless. In the Lillies' world, the madness of man is a carnival, as they say in Roll Up, "Our life is a sideshow attraction: death, decay and disease."

One is reminded, listening to this CD, of Nero, mad and fiddling while Rome burned. However, there is an undercurrent of tragedy in the ballads that, just when you're ready to accept the view in the funhouse mirror you've been looking at, cuts through to the bone and reminds you that all this pain and filth is for real.

Make no mistake, while some of these songs are a lot of fun, this is not a fun or pretty album. However, if you have a tender spot in your heart for nihilistic iconoclasm presented with a drunken irony, then this may just be the band for which you've been looking.
