"Bird Seed has been regarded by many critics as Whitehouse’s most mature, diverse and complex release to date. Still containing Whitehouse’s unadulterated lyrics, and ironic swipes at the misfortunate, this recording finds the band at a far more intellectually sophisticated and psychologically interrogative stage in its career, particularly in terms of how its lyrics attempt to grapple with the culturally stigmatized therapy and self-help culture. Much of this has been attributed to the departure of former member, author and publisher Peter Sotos and the shrinkage of the group to a duo of William Bennett and Philip Best. Musically, things have equally changed for this group, credited with having pioneered what became known in the 1990s as "power electronics." With Bird Seed, Whitehouse have found not only new lyrical insight and sophistication, but musical innovation in keeping with their career achievements thus far." more by Whitehouse and related | |
