Album Rating: 4.5

I've heard 3 of Cave's albums that I didn't much care for...



and fortunately this ain't one of them!

(there's still a few to check, what an insane discog)

Album Rating: 4.5

I need to spend more time with this, but it was rather lovely on initial inspection and that's without the context surrounding the record (as I'm only just hearing about it). Understated beauty.

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah, this is hitting me hard. Emotional in a I’m so tired I could cry’ into me coffee, morning album. Girl in Amber is like fuuuuuuuck 😭

Album Rating: 5.0

An amazing album this one

Album Rating: 4.5

Seeing it being recorded in the documentary is great

Top 5 Seeds prolly, argh ranking this guy’s discog is practically impossible but I’ll award it a tentative placement of 4th (I love Abattoir Blues but it’s not this consistent), so the triumvirate of The Good Son (#1), Henry’s Dream & Let Love In are the top 3 for now

Album Rating: 4.5

update, might be my 2nd fave by this point. Most of his 90s / early 00s stuff has one or two cuts that pull me out, this is relentless…

Cave at his most raw and unfiltered; at his most vulnerable. The minimalist arrangements serve as an eerie, melancholic backdrop. All the bells and whistles, the grandiosity expected of his previous work has all but evaporated, yet the simplicity of his song-craft shines through

4.5 incoming

Album Rating: 2.5

this and ghosteen have probably unfairly put me off from checking most of his earlier stuff, since i do like let love in and from her to eternity

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah it’s totally different. Honestly I didn’t even like Ghosteen, although I heard that first before doing a loooooooong slow discog run (so should revisit).

The Good Son (my fave), Henry’s Dream & Let Love In is quite rightly considered his strongest run (some would include Tender Prey there too).

Album Rating: 3.5

I wasn’t enthusiastic about it until I saw “Distant Sky: Live in Copenhagen” at the movies, which made me recognize its beauty.

I agree Demon, the run from mid-80s to mid-90s is the strongest period in his discog.

Bad content

The fact that this is rapidly approaching a decade old fills me with the most visceral sense of dread for some reason.
