Brittle piano and a deep bassline frame woodwinds on opener \u201cWe No Who U R,\u201d and there\u2019s a threatening rumble in the background of \u201cWe Real Cool,\u201d as Cave bites off lyrics in a caustic murmur. The tension recedes on \u201cWide Lovely Eyes,\u201d with glimmers of electric piano and ticking guitar framing understated, affectionate vocals, but it\u2019s back in full force on \u201cHiggs Boson Blues,\u201d a nearly eight-minute drone with apocalyptic lyrics and hypnotic guitar. Although there\u2019s plenty of room in these songs, Cave and company give them a claustrophobic air that crowds in and becomes impossible to resist. \u2013Eric R.
