I got into him via The Good Son and on from there. I have the older albums but I don't like them as much, though this song absolutely kills.

That album is 10/10, paddy ass hoe

Never got into either. I'm more into this sort of Cave

So gay Cave?

Nah. I think that album's fine for the most part. It's much much more interesting than the Boatman's Call or No More Shall We Part for soft Nick Cave albums. Those two are mad boring. At the very least, the Good Son isn't 100% piano ballads of lameness. It has a lotta fine moments.

How could you love the Mercy Seat but not the rest of Tender Prey? That album's not even inaccessible, very song oriented, and all the songs are good and memorable. The Mercy Seat is the best one but I'd argue that it's also the most "difficult" of the bunch.

Obviously you need to listen to it again, cuz if you don't you're gonna be dead.

Um, that album is No More Shall We Part. And I love it. I've just never been drawn to those other three first albums the way I was to TGS and HD and everything pretty much on from there. I love the way Cave can be menacing as **** with just a piano or a guitar. Remember "Song of joy"? Jesus, the creeping menace in that song, and yet it's so simple and stripped down it's untrue. What a guy.

Well you got me there.

I think the Good Son cover has a similar pallette of colors. Or it could not look anything alike at all and I'm the poser.

To be fair, the creeping stripped down menace has been there from the start, albeit much less accessible

Tender Prey is basically the link between the early stuff and the Good Son stuff. It's a perfect balance of everything great about them from early albums and also a great example of what was to come after. It's an album that really showcases everything they'd ever be capable of. It sounds kinda raw in comparison since the ensemble would expand with all these instruments and pristine production and whatever, but I always thought it was one everyone would enjoy.

now I'm sad

Maybe I'll try to slot in another listen to Tender Prey...
