Given its title, it's not much of a surprise that 'The Whores Hustle and the Hustlers Whore,' manages to work up a convincingly atonal guitar racket, but otherwise the only song that really captures Harvey's trademark Captain Beefheart-like fury is (again, unsurprisingly, given its title) 'Kamikaze.' Other highlights include 'Big Evil,' which centers around a biting neo-psychedelic riff (sort of 'Paperback Writer' gone dissonant), the hypnotically pretty 'This Mess We're In,' a sort of early Cure pastiche done as a duet with Radiohead's Thom Yorke, and the concluding 'We Float,' a piano-driven ode to making peace with your failures that Harvey sings with a sweetness that's almost inspirational.
