Wow, is this album nearly 30 years old? I have always loved Nick Cave as an artist and I love that he does not repeat himself. I'll give it a very fat 4 just because there are Cave albums I like even better... for me the sweet spot was his Good Son/ Henry's Dream era. This, for me, struck the right balance between his earlier work (which could be a bit "much" for me) and his later work which is softer, sometimes borderline cheese (non-pasteurised artisanal quality cheese though). This album is consistent with some smashing songs and no bad songs. Consistent lyrically and musically. The fattest 4 I've given.
