NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS "murder ballads" cd, but listened through ipod....

heard this one tonight to and from Dani's place on my ipod....
not much to say about it only that the title says it all, and the artist is Nick Cave....
this guy must be the most underrated writer of the past four decades, he is up there with DylanandChapin as a great storyteller, he also has the ability to role play in his songs, something that most singers fail to achieve.
possibly the "album of his career" and by which i judge his other albums....

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

How the hell is Cave underrated? Sure, he deserves way more credit, along with Tim Buckley and Tom Waits, he's the best songwriter of the 20th, but he's pretty well regarded

anyways, New Day Rising-Husker Du

After releasing the double album masterpiece "Zen Arcade", the Du take a less ambitious and more melodic approach, going from post hardcore to a college rock-esque sound. I don't fancy myself a post hardcore fan, but I love the 80's college rock sound, so I think I favor this slightly to the also brilliant "Zen Arcade"

When I think underrated, I think chart success. Speaking for the U.S. Nick has never had that. The album posted (Murder Ballads) never even touched the Billboard 200. Out of 14 albums with the Bad Seeds, 9 of them have never made that chart. The highest charting was the last one, Dig Lazarus Dig, which made a showing at #64 here. I'm sure Nick has done much better in his homeland and even the U.K., and he is well respected by those in the industry, but as far as chart success in the states, Nick Cave is very underrated.

Holiday i-Pod listening.

Another collaboration of musical geniuses (genii ?!) that yields some high quality material of a vaguely Alternative persuasion.


AllMusic 4/5 stars.

Holiday i-Pod listening.

Almost like listening to Alt-Folk nursery rhymes with Hip-Hop beats, in fact exactly like listening to Alt-Folk nursery rhymes with Hip-Hop beats.

Refreshingly original.

Mark Everett's post-catharsis album. Lighter, but by no means lightweight.


AllMusic 3/5 stars.

Holiday i-Pod listening.

Recentish release from firebrand Brit songwriter. He's mellowed a little, but there's little let-up in his song-writing skill. Criminally under-appreciated artist.

Love the cover shot...
