What is it about Bad Things Happen All The Time that makes it seem both instantly familiar and totally original? Maybe it's how relevant Jackson's writing is, with genius lyrics that reference war, history, and the frustration felt with those who turn a blind eye to these. Or maybe it's how sophisticated the melodies are; they stick after just one listen, like a less elliptical Radiohead or something Bono might have written had he become a solo performer instead of a stadium rock god. Though bitingly critical, this music is never dispassionate or cynical. There are layers here, countermelodies, instrumentation...heart. The title track, "Bad Things Happen All the Time," is a brilliantly subtle critique of the misguided optimism of political leaders, and is an absolute must-hear.
