3.5 Okay here’s the recipe for a Nick Cave song: Make it 5-6 minutes long Long verses with biblical and religious allusions Choruses with choirs in the background Towards the end the choir takes over and chants the chorus over and over Rinse, repeat Here’s the thing. It’s not a bad formula per se, but it’s definitely a formula. And it gets repetitive when it’s 90 minutes long. Again, not sure the need for a double album here, 45 mins would have sufficed and improved the rating. It’s not bad though! I can see why some people go wild for this dude. I would relisten to this and enjoy myself, but personally it’s not my fave thing. There’s a few bangers tho.
