    Swampland. What an unbelievably good song. As good as anything TBP or Nick and seeds ever did.

      ElasticMan, I've always thought "Munity in Heaven" would be even better if it ran 2 or 3 minutes longer just so we could hear more of Cave ranting.

        Mutiny in Heaven. Here we have the Paradise Lost of the JUNKyard. The apotheosis of Cave's overwrought biblical gothic. Here is King Ink as Lucifer howling that there are 'rats in paradise', leading the titular mutiny, wings bursting from his back like cutting teeth. This muscular blues is truly anguished and few have painted pictures of such highs and lows before and since. You almost need a narcotic to sleep after listening to this.
