This project, which found music from England merging with lyrics in California, does not have that sense of disconnect that even our new, flat world can't always resolve. The reclusive recording on Lanegan's part may have even helped bring forth his rugged, lonesome individualism in a way previously unheard. A cathartic nature is especially apparent on "Revival" and "Spiritual", where the existence of a single existential line becomes the basis for each hymn.
