Album Notes & Community Reviews

Arriving after a five-year hiatus, the acclaimed songwriter delivered a remarkably sharp, stripped-down rock record characterized by his pitch-black lyrical wit. Unintentionally foreshadowing his own terminal illness diagnosis soon after, 'Life'll Kill Ya' focuses heavily on themes of physical decay, mortality, and cynical acceptance.
