The Broken Man is a brawny, robust album, the type of record that
carries an uncommon weight and honesty. When Elliott darkly intones,
"this is how it feels to be alone," on "Dust, Flesh and Bones", there's
complete conviction in his dead-eyed delivery, conveying an unwavering
faith in his emotional regression. In lesser hands it's a line that
could read as trite; with Elliott it feels well-worn, as though it's
been churning around his head for years, gathering emotional baggage
with the passing of time. But this isn't just a highly crafted plummet
to the depths. There's an eerie, unearthly sense of displacement to much
of the material, such as the spindly cries of bowed saw (or something
simulating the sound of one) on "How to Kill a Rose". Those atmospheric
touches make this feel like Elliott's most complete work to date,
forming a vital link between his sunless balladry and the shattered
electronica of Third Eye Foundation.
