ARTIST BINGE #1 : NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS, PART. 1

Nick Cave is one of my favorite artists of all time so that's why I decided that every Monday I will write a review of one of his albums. We start today with "From Her to Eternity" and JESUS CHRIST! this is a fucking masterpiece. One of the most intense records I've ever heard!

Rare are the rockers whose discography seems almost perfect like the Nick Cave one. It's quite simple, everything this guy has done in forty years, ... read more

This is one of the first projects I have heard from him and I am veey underwhelmed. I just can't get behind his vocals on this project and as a fan of gothic music, this just doesnt do it for me.

Nicky Cave just said the n-word.

"From Her to Eternity" is quite a mess. While the atmosphere is chilling, Nick Cave's performance is undeniably eccentric and the songwriting is fantastic, there are some really poorly-executed ideas and the mixing is just awful. Especially on the bass.

Fav Tracks: From Her to Eternity, Cabin Fever!, Saint Huck, Avalanche

Least Fav Track: A Box for Black Paul

It just so happened that Spring cleaning meant listening ... read more

Enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to given it’s their debut and therefore supposedly least trained album. I think it’s partly because I gave it a slightly more focused listen than other ones of this era but right now this is actually my favourite Nick Cave album of the 1980s pending relistens to Tender Prey and Your Funeral My Trial. The pacing is definitely a challenge but it pays off with the minimalist, clunking instrumentation which does a very good job of building up a ... read more
