Critics Review
Devil in a Coma offers a pleasingly bitter counterpoint to the clap-for-carers mood of the times
Devil in a Coma offers a pleasingly bitter counterpoint to the clap-for-carers mood of the times * Uncut *
Compelling … When he eventually does sing again, Mark Lanegan has the record of a lifetime to make * Mojo *
Devil in a Coma is fired by Lanegan’s expressionistic prose and visceral poetry … his writing is exhilarating and unexpectedly funny * i newspaper *
This slight but weighty volume only adds to the man’s muscular and vivid - in every sense of the word - body of work – Kitty Empire * Observer *
Lanegan doesn’t tread softly or treat himself easily. Maintaining the commitment to the unvarnished truth of Sing Backwards…, he presents himself as a nightmare hospital patient and a flawed human being. But shades of humour illuminate the darkness judiciously * Record Collector *
Shades of humour illuminate the dark judiciously. – Kevin Harley * Record Collector *
This latest title is a must-have for Lanegan fans, or anyone left hungry for more of his pitch-black wit – DAVID NOBAKHT * Buzz Mag *
