Yeah, about half of murder ballads is really good, half is meh. That's kind of how he is though, really hit or miss. But for me it's more about the mood of the album. it's pretty chilling.

Check out "The Good Son". That is generally more solid, still has a few throw away tracks but also a lot of really brilliant stuff. Boatman's Call is also good and Nocturama has a few pretty cool tracks as well. I'm not so familiar with the older stuff.

My favorite tracks from each above mentioned album album are:
The Good Son:
The Good Son
The Weeping Song
The Ship Song
The Hammer Song

Murder Ballads
Where the Wild Roses Grow
Stagger Lee
Henry Lee
The Curse of Millhaven
The Kindness of Strangers
O'Malley's Bar (interesting but it took me a long while to get into this song)

The Boatman's Call
People Ain't No Good
(Are You) The One that I've Been Waiting For
Where do we go now but nowhere
West Country Girl
Idiot Prayer

Nocturama
Wonderful Life
Babe I'm On Fire (long song, very repetative but it's fun to listen to the lyrics... watch the video along with it. it's on youtube)
