Waste of my time. A million boos.
I had hope for this because I like the album cover but wow I hated that so much.
It sounds like the music that a band in a movie about the rise and fall of a shaggy glam rock band with a real bastard singer would play and you'd think, hey that sounds pretty decent for a band from a movie, they really nailed how a band like that would sound. Some good atmospheric reverb&tremolo guitar sounds. The songs are dark and moody with a driving propulsive energy that suits the histrionic spiraling vocals. He has a very vegemite hit or miss voice, and it's a miss for me. That makes paying close attention to the lyrics - which meant to be the selling point? The storytelling and the characters? - a bit tough since it means focusing in on the most annoying part of the music: his pseudo Jim Morrison goth crooning. I guess they have a cult following, from decent live shows and lyrical lore, but I wonder if it isn't maybe among people who, in general, prefer movies to music? Even the cover suggests that interpretation.
I'd accept this album as an outro ending track for a show -- nothing else. Edgy slam poetry for guys who like beer and westerns. 1/5 - "Not listening to this again."
Did not enjoy. Not my kind of thing.
One listen was enough, lacks musicality.
Not for me
So Nick was angry, got drunk, went to a karaoke bar, and somebody recorded it. Got it. Enough with the Nick Cave albums already, ffs.
My second album by these folks and I haven’t been a fan of either.
This guy has way too many albums on this list. How much depressing talk singing can one person make yet alone listen to. Nick cave is probably now one of my least favorite artists because of this list. 2.7/10
Do people think this is good?
Droney and not pleasant
2 Barely Eh fuck it 1
Couldn’t get a grasp. Sounds like parody music but worse.
Well. That's the last Nick Cave album on the list for me and at least it's over. 870-some-odd albums in and Cave has become my most hated artist on the list. Which is saying something because the list also has Neil Young on it and that guy's a total tosser. But Cave takes first prize due to his skeezy songwriting and fake "ooh, I'm scary" performances. Such garbage. Glad I'm done with it.
