A four-part song cycle involving apocalyptic prophecy and frozen hell, &lt;em&gt;Degeneration Street&lt;/em&gt; often reads as art-rock with a death-metal storyline: With a few tempo changes, &amp;quot;Blood&amp;quot; could pass as a Mastodon cover. Yet musically, the LP is a shuffle mix: &amp;quot;Galactic Tides&amp;quot; is an End-time prayer done in Thom Yorke falsetto, &amp;quot;Yesteryear&amp;quot; a Motown strut with choir and harpsichord. Lightburn&amp;apos;s amoebic tenor is still the main attraction: soul crooner one minute, punk shouter the next, he&amp;apos;s a prime candidate for rock&amp;apos;s next Broadway musical.&lt;/p&gt;\r\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=\"../../random-notes\"&gt;Gallery: Random Notes, Rock&amp;apos;s Hottest Photos&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
