And it's seven ****ing minutes and change. You can't allot that amount of time out of your ilfe? Did you check the other two tracks? "Loverman" punches your face in but yes, it starts slow. Learn to patience huh?

I suggest you step away.

I don’t want you to get skewed away from his early stuff.

He does do a lot of ballads and he’s fantastic at it. ****, check the name of the album we’re supposed to be talking about.

I know that. I'm just saying he doesn't only do ballads.

I know you know that.

You said you’re planning on checking out the Birthday Party so once you do we can have a fruitful discussion but it’s bull**** for anyone to assume oh you’ll never get it. Especially someone who doesn’t seem to understand his recent stuff very well.

I gave this one a "meh." There was a time, back in the 80's & early 90's, when I was into Nick Cave. First with The Birthday Party and then with The Bad Seeds. Had several albums, saw him live a couple of times. By the time this album came out I had lost interest. He just seemed to me, as was previously mentioned in this thread, a bit too contrived and cartoonish by that time. I hadn't heard this album in probably 20 years and I actually found it rather tedious to get through.

These days, I prefer his film scores to anything he does with The Bad Seeds or Grinderman.
