Nick and The Bad Seeds' twelfth studio album...
I think I own all of them, or maybe im still one or two short, im not sure, i'll have to check....
mostly piano based ballads on here, a couple of uptempo tracks, and one that is grungy as in
a cross between Birthday Party (Nicks original band) and Grinderman (Nick's side project)...
to be honest, for the most part, as usual, he lyrics are very impressive as they usually are, but
the tunes and melodies just don't cut it for me except for a few tracks...
this is by far (IMO) the worst album these guys have released, but its not as bad as Birthday Party!,
and you guys who know me know that I love Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, am I right?
while I was playing this I was actually thinking to myself that the album is missing something, it sounds incomplete
and unfinished, but I couldn't put my finger on it, and low-and-behold, when I checked Wiki for the chart placings on the
album it says "album was recorded in 2002 in a week in between live shows"...that's it!...it was rushed..
that said though, my favourite track on here is 'classic' Nick Cave IMO
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: dead man in my bed
best track: rock of Gibraltar
