Additional InformationDulli and Lanegan's full-length debut as the Gutter Twins draws from the gothic tradition, mixing the secular and sacred with powerful, surging hooks.
Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "Lanegan's never sounded so powerfully bereft as on purgatorial blues 'All Misery'...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "They're both versed in meaty riffs, acoustic drama, noirish electronics, and a nice heavy backbeat.", "It has a gravity and a weight that aches with poignancy and experience, and is carried through by songs that are beautifully crafted with natural authority and natural light.", "Their collaboration is the result of opposing strengths: Lanegan's sludge-rock inclinations and Dulli's sensual soul, which together examine both the horrors and the splendor of primal introspection.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Squelching beats and breaks underpin Saturnalia, an air of woozy menace pervading 'Seven Stories Underground' and 'All Misery/Flowers,' bringing to mind Massive Attack playing gothic blues.", "Mournful, if synthetic-sounding, strings provide the frequent backdrop for an insistent dose of dirge that finds surprising texture as the album creeps closer to later selections like 'Bete Noir'...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "With Lanegan at his stentorian best and Dulli in confessional mode, SATURNALIA is a feast...", 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "On tracks like 'God's Children,' the cosmos align and Dulli's and Lanegan's grizzled harmonies combine with stunning clarity.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "'Seven Stories Underground' builds on rough-cut Tom Waits-like percussion. 'Each to Each' uses funkier beats and strings.", "Like a searing cross between 'Gimme Shelter' and 'Kashmir,' a song like 'The Stations' rises as it rings, its singed guitars and rolling rhythms episodically bolstering down and at once lifting their talk of the godly and the pleading.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Brooding, bluesy rock -- a worthy soundtrack for those dark, whiskey-soaked nights of the soul and the regret-filled mornings after.", Ranked #32 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "With a touch of grace that recalls their classic work without repeating it."
