Customer Reviews
Where those previous albums are a collection of disjointed beats and moods, Vulnerable features guitar driven tunes, and more complete, almost radio-friendly(!) songs, something that makes it more similar to
Maxinquaye.
Songs such as 'Hollow', a tear jerker in the vein of 'makes me wanna die' on P.M.T, and 'Stay' are examples of this.
The incredible Martina Topley Bird has departed to focus on her solo project, leaving an opening for Costanza, a female vocalist who, although not as inspirational and personable as Martina, compliments Tricky's spoken words with a voice that is at times strong and rousing, and at others breathy and delicate.
While I would never call a Tricky album uplifting, this is the brightest sounding one to date.
It will probably grow on me, and personally I don't think Tricky can go wrong, but in my opinion Maxinquaye is the superior album.
Well first of all it isnt just a CD, the limited edition album comes with a DVD which contains a documentory directed by Tricky, extra tracks and some rather bizare photo's. This is something that no-one has really tried before and i have to say its pretty good being able to kick back and experience something other than just music from an album.
Back to the music, cause thats whats important after all! Ive always been a big fan of Tricky ever since I heard Maxinquaye, which is probably one of the greatest albums of all time, I kid you not. But every album released since has been somewhat of a let down, that doesnt mean that none of them are any good just that there not as good as his debut. For this album the mood seems to be quite similar throughout unlike most of his other ventures which vary from track to track. Overall is a good album, not his best but not his worst either. Its along the same lines as Blowback with respect to the overall sound but isnt as interesting because of the lack of featured vocalists. Dont get me wrong Constanza has a fantastic voice which suits Tricky's beats to a tee, but I personally would like to see a range of different vocalists each doing 1 or 2 tracks each. Another problem is that Tricky himself has become a little samey with his vocal contributions, settling again to mumble over most of the tracks unlike the way he used to try different styles, for example 'Trick Kid' and 'Brand New Your Retro'.
The album starts of well but tails off a little at the end, although the cover of the Cures 'Love Cats' the penultimate track is well worth a listen. I would recommend the album to all Tricky fans who enjoiyed Blowback, although if Maxinquaye is the only thing youv'e heard have a listen first!
I have enjoyed Tricky for his diversity and this new work is in keeping with the constant tangents he explores. When asked which album to start with, if new to his music, there is no beginning and on many levels no development. In Vulnerable he has taken yet another new path but with a success that will guarantee it longevity well beyond the less well crafted Blowback. Is there value in the DVD part to the package? Personally I am not bothered. I admire and would immerse myself in the music and therefore find any extras to be what they are….a bonus. But if you need an add-on reason to buy Vulnerable then perhaps this is not the album or artist to select – at least not whilst Kylie is still giving away posters. The homage to the Cure is excellent and is a cooling reminder of what a cover version should be.
