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!

Fav Tracks: From Her to Eternity, Cabin Fever!, Saint Huck, Avalanche
Least Fav Track: A Box for Black Paul
