"Each Man Kills The Thing He Loves can't but arrive as a Big Statement. The Virgin Prunes were always elitist, dissembling, treacherous spies in the house of Irish rock. Like Cathal Coughlan and Microdisney, Gavin Friday and the Prunes always rejected Irish codes of authenticity. There's no laddish delving among rock and roots here. What you see is assuredly not what you get. But be careful about terming too precisely this modern cabaret. The second track, 'Tell Tale Heat' would be a standard AOR rock ballad in less abstruse hands than those of Friday, The Man Seezer and the New York henchmen whom producer Hal Williner has called up, while 'Man Of Misfortune' with its back-up vocals by Flo and Eddie both signals and repays Friday's teenage debts to Marc Bolan. This could almost be two albums, the first side bookended between the title track and Bob Dylan's 'Death Is Not The End', being a pained and intensely private meditation on love and death. These aren't gossip-ridden cabaret confidences. Instead Friday offers interior monologues, disheartened ruminations over a wine-glass darkly.[...]" -hotpress.com
