NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS "ghosteen"

17th studio album

estimated Worldwide sales: less than 100,000

charts:  #2 AU,  #4 UK,  #93 CAN,  #108 US

singles: no singles released.

first album by Cave since one of his sons died in a tragic accident in the UK two or three years ago
and this one is a double set, his first double since his brilliant "Abbattoir Blues/lyre of Orpheus" twenty five years earlier.
album is full of songs about death, loss..no different from most of his other works really, LOL.
but this time its personal  which gives the songs a deeper, darker, moodier, dour, more sombre feel
than anything he has ever released.
lyrically,it is an absolute masterpiece, probably the greatest set of lyrics he has ever written, and he's written a lot
of classy lyrics over the decades.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

spoken word track, the imagery in the lyrics is simply sublime IMO
