Well into a career of stoking misery's emotive fires, Greg Dulli and his Afghan Whigs launch into another album that plays like a movie. Appropriately, BLACK LOVE's thematic lyrics, its noire-ish rock-meets-soul styles, and its cover-art are like a grab-bag of clues, depicting the darker side of the human condition. The opening track, "Crime Scene Part One," is one tip-off, the burning sticks of incense are another--both are hints at the indefinite, smoldering and depraved natures of the album's characters.

BLACK LOVE unravels like a dangerous mystery of betrayal. Through Dulli's lense, you witness the sense of fury-inspired disaster--"I'll get the car/You get the match and gasoline," he venomously sings on the brutal "Going To Town." On the wings of a funky, grating guitar of "Blame, Etc.," Dulli manages to uniquely twist the words "blame, deny, betray, divide" into nearly sensual sentiments. Another gripping album, BLACK LOVE brings Dulli's grand cinematic songwriting into focus.
