Tender Prey»rank: 9682par: Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lt was Tender Prey that raised the delightfully unlikely specter of Nick Cave the pop star. What was even better was that the song that damn near did it--'The Mercy Seat'--was an epic litany relating the thoughts of a condemned prisoner awaiting his walk to the electric chair. 'The Mercy Seat' is Cave and his Bad Seeds at their best: the former leavening his mordant tale with grim wit ('A ragged cup, a twisted mop . ... |

Let Love In»rank: 6187par: Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Ten or so albums into their careers, if not sooner, artists tend to subside into laziness, self-parody, or fruitless second-guessing of the musical climate. lt is entirely in keeping with Cave's willful obstinate character that at roughly that point he started making his very best work. Let Love ln is a masterpiece. lt sounds both like a summation of everything Cave and his peerless band the Bad Seeds have ever done well--string-laden ballads; gothic blues; brooding, ... |

2004 Abattoir Blues Tour Liv»rank: 10609par: Nick/Bad Seeds Cave
Chroniques et points de vue:From : lt's a delirious treat, watching the full weight of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds open their November 2004 Brixton Academy gig with the menacing thwack of 'Hiding All Away,' as they do on the first of two DVDs in this live mega-set. They're swept away, Cave and his mates--Warren Ellis and Mick Harvey and the keyboardists and drummers and background singers. Feet stomp, hair flies, the sounds wallop. Without Blixa Bargeld for the first ... |

No More Shall We Part»rank: 12476par: Nick & the Bad Seeds Cave
Chroniques et points de vue:From :No More Shall We Part contains a greater wealth of musical invention and lyrical intelligence in its 68 minutes than most acts manage in an entire career. Cave is not merely in a different league from most of his peers; he's scarcely even playing the same game. No More sees a renewed emphasis on the virtuosity of Cave's longtime backing band, the Bad Seeds (Cave's last album, 1997's superb The Boatman's Call was a relatively sparse ... |

Boatman's Call»rank: 12445par: Nick & the Bad Seeds Cave
Chroniques et points de vue::After a career spent tearing down the world with horror and disgust, Nick Cave finally sounds ready to start rebuilding from scratch. He's begun to find a quiet grace, and perhaps even beauty, past all the darkness that's long consumed him. Amid the ashes of a world unable to exorcise its demons, Cave actually finds love; a strange, twisted, doomed love, perhaps--but love nevertheless. 0n The Boatman's Call, Cave's latest collection, the singer-songwriter finds room for the ... |

The Best of..»rank: 13517par: Nick & the Bad Seeds Cave
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This culling of the 'best' cuts from the Bad Seeds' songbook avoids the pratfalls of many best-of compilations. First off, the songs aren't arranged chronologically, but instead for effect, raveling new with old, weepy ballads with adrenaline-pumped rockers. ln addition, there aren't any rare live tracks, alternative takes, remixes, acoustic versions, or B-sides that clutter other compilations. What you get is pure Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds in all their gloomy glory. Things get off ... |

Murder Ballads»rank: 14899par: Nick & the Bad Seeds Cave
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Nick Cave's been writing songs about killing and other evil things since he first surfaced in 1980 as the Birthday Party's pale, skinny, goth-punk Jim Morrison. But the murder ballads that provide this set's title are different, tantalizingly deliberate. Sure, there's plenty of trademark Cave here, but Murder Ballads is a fascinating concept album that uses the narrative ballad form of the English folk tradition to tell of murder: random deaths, passion crimes, and killing sprees, ... |

Henrys Dream»rank: 13617par: Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lt's been reported that Nick Cave hates Henry's Dream. While it is deeply flawed, especially by Cave's formidable standards, he's being unnecessarily hard on this 1992 collection. Aside from any other considerations, it contains 'Papa Won't Leave You, Henry,' a rumbling gospel epic that remains a concert highlight, and 'Straight to You,' an exquisite devotional ballad. lt is an odd album, however. Just when its predecessor, The Good Son, seemed to hint that Cave had accepted ... |
