I am on my 5th listen of this album now & IMHO it is pretty darn incredible!
Each song on it has the potential to be my favourite & I have not felt like that about an album for quite some time. I admit to being a fan of all things Nick Cave so I do tend to have a kind ear waiting when a new album is released. But even so, this one has surpassed even the highest of expectations.
Current favourite is White Elephant or Shattered Ground
Or, as increasingly the way, a Warren Ellis album with Nick Cave talking over his arrangements?
not credited to the Bad Seeds, you’ll notice. There are (some) drums on this one though.
Yup, spotted that. The Seeds weren’t really much on the last one either. (And, you know, I prefer that, snarky remarks about talking and all.)
Liking this so far.
Mr Cave is the only artist I can think of who’s been going forty years without releasing a bad album.
I wholeheartedly agree with this. His run of excellent albums is quite staggering
I will wait for the physical rewlease. Mr Cave is a very good songsmith and I expect the usual quality he is known for.
I`ll give the above track a listen later, I`m busy listening to Shakey`s `Down In The Rust Bucket` which is rather good.
