Before the Poison isn't it for a number of reasons, quality not being one of them. Simply put, Before the Poison is an album that concerns itself with both sides of love, friendship, and redemption, not desolation or desperation. That said, there is plenty of human shadow in these ten songs. Polly Harvey wrote three songs here, co-wrote a pair with Faithfull, and is present on all of them. Nick Cave co-wrote three with the singer and his Bad Seeds back her on these tracks.

Marianne Faithfull has one singing tone: grim. Her Gothic voice conveys gravity perhaps better than any other rock-oriented singer alive, but that ability comes with its own limitations: While Faithfull can make grim sound bitter, biting, resigned, or determined, she can't make it sound triumphant or joyful. But she has staked this darker emotional territory out and made it her own, such that any shade of hope in her voice sounds sadly tenuous. The second half of Before the Poison drops off noticeably, ending with the album's two weakest tracks. The strutting tempo of "Desperanto" and its shout-out chorus barely conceal the song's punning conceit, and Brion's gimmicky production and Faithfull's awkward lyrics on "City of Quartz" recall her Weill obsession of past albums.

Produced by PJ Harvey. Album Before the Poison. Before The Poison Lyrics.

The languid "Before the Poison", another Faithfull/Harvey co-write, is an odd choice for the title track. Heavy on the minor chords, Damon Albarn's ballad, "Last Song", resembles Coldplay or Radiohead, with a nod towards the mordant Jacques Brel.
