Henry's Dream
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nick Cave doing what he does best. Brilliant lyricist and great music, very much rewards an active listen. Great album.

I can't be objective about this, it's a 5. One of those pivotal music moments that happen in life and change things forever.

Lots of interesting and fun bits and some fab guitars but dragged down a bit by the random experimentation that just sounded forced.

Liked bits of this more than I remembered, but still far too long and got a bit too repetitive so by the end I was bored and had switched off.

I usually find Björk's lyric delivery annoying in anything more than short bursts though somehow this seemed to (mostly) work. I'm gad it's on the list but I'm not sure it's something I'd come back to.

Bongo Rock

Should there be an album of bongo-driven instrumental covers? (definitely, why not?) And is it any good? (no, not really) Destined to soundtrack the closing credits to every 70's-based film forever.

One to dip into for me, small doses are fine, great even, but a whole album in one go somehow seems to grate (Can't seem to put my finger on why? bit repetitive at times? or his voice?)

Like a less interesting Arcade Fire. And the first track pissed me off, what's with the added scratch on the vinyl vibe? Some sort of hipster bollocks?

Before Spotify was a thing these guys nailed the 'slightly mediocre love songs' playlist. The better moments were well hidden in the massive amounts of self-indulgent nonsense but I'm still not sure there's a decent album's worth hiding in here

Not exactly a passive listen. Well worth the effort of making time to hear it properly though, every bit the equal of Dylan but without the annoying harmonica. Love the subtle and delicate instrumentation, really lets the lyrics shine

In between filtering out all the YouTube ads it felt like there might be some ok stuff hidden away, but to be honest I wasn't that motivated to keep looking for it and it definitely tails off towards the end. I know and like some XTC stuff, but this isn't it.
