For me everything just falls into place once you get Your Mouth Into Mine. I think Nick Cave's tried doing something similar with Grinderman except that Bluefinger really has a reason to exist.

i just don't like the songs - they are almost annoying to me. they are too linear and predictable. they are all built around one riff or chord sequence. they song shave no lows or highs. no dynamics, no breaks, no surprises, no hooks.
i really miss good (e.g. catholics, pixies) and creative (e.g. lyle workman, joey santiago) co-musicians.
i don't think it rocks. it has a very raw punk sound and feel which i don't like at all. in particular the repetetive character of the songs.
i don't like his high-pitched singing on these tracks.
as i once wrote, i really don't understand they comparisions with TOTY or pixies. these songs had turns, and hooks, and so many surprises.
the bluefinger songs are just verse-riff - chorus-melody (mostly a simple one). both the verse and chorus are always very,very repetitive. if you have heard the first 15 seconds of most bluefinger songs, you know the rest of it.
but as a said, thats just me (but i'm a bit surprised, that i'm the only one).

I haven't heard the whole thing, but I don't like "Threshold Apprehension" and I don't like "Captain Pasty" at all. I find them almost annoying. You're probably not the only one. |

Hard to believe but hey, nature is so diversified. Who am I to judge it?
