User Album Review
The first thing to note is that bizarrely, despite this album coming out 19 years after the unfairly maligned Munki, Damage And Joy sounds exactly the way you’d expect the follow-up to its predecessor to sound. All things considered, this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. The Mary Chain’s songwriting MO has always remained the same – it’s the production that gets tweaked with each record and so it is that this album comes with the sheen of squelching analogue sweeps, studio jiggery-pokery and live playing.
Ultimately, Damage And Joy is a consolidation rather than a great leap forward. You won’t find anything as demented as say, ‘I Hate Rock’n’Roll’, that great vomit splash of bile and hatred that they could still spew up late in the day, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. This is a cautious yet dignified return that allows the Reids and their associates to spend even more time together than they’d have expected to create something positive rather than engaging in an orgy of self-destruction. And, like this album and for now, that’s a good thing. It’s what happens next that will really count. --- thequietus.com
