This is an especially important (and emotional) time for hardcore BR fans, as it marks the return of lead singer \u003cstrong\u003eKazu Makino\u003c\/strong\u003e after her serious horse riding accident. The pain of her titanium jaw bleeds through tracks like “Elephant Woman\", \"Misery Is A Butterfly\", \"Magic Mountain” and “Pink Love.” While \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.mom\/search?q=fugazi\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFugazi’s\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGuy Picciotto\u003c\/strong\u003e is still handling production, there is a marked difference in the overall sound of this record, a maturation that fits perfectly with the rest of the roster at their new label home \u003cstrong\u003e4AD\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.mom\/search?q=cocteau\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCocteau Twins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.mom\/search?q=pixies\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePixies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eDead Can Dance\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eModern English\u003c\/strong\u003e and even \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.mom\/search?q=tv+on+the+radio\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTV On the Radio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e). A small glimmer of hope does appear at the end of the LP, when “EQVVS” resolves the album’s dark mood with an optimistic outlook. Records like \u003cem\u003eMisery Is A Butterfly\u003c\/em\u003e are precisely the reason my girl complains that I listen to too much morbid music around the house, but out of sadness comes true appreciation for the happy moments in life right, so fuck it right? Highly recommended for anyone who likes to spend time by themselves. 11 songs in total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: 4AD 2004\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by jemz 05\/2009\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Blonde Redhead","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":1073947628,"sku":"lp-6450","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/products\/blonderedhead-misery-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1762269364","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/blonde-redhead-misery-is-a-butterfly-vinyl-lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
