^Thanks for checking out my Members Journal so thoroughly. I completely understand how it may take a while to get around to listening to any recommendations, I have hundreds myself. I will check out your Journal and also wish you the best of luck and hope dearly that you stick around.

Well, it definitely helps that your journal's relatively recent and doesn't have 10+ pages full of great recommendation I'd feel I couldn't miss! And unfortunately for me I do feel like that about longer journals and.. gasp... read it all!! So I do hope your journal reaches those heights and maybe mine too

Needless to say, I should start off with The Velvet Underground & Nico, hopefully by year's end!

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds is intriguing me too. Do you think it would be a better experience to hear From Her to Eternity first or I should just skip right through to The Firstborn Is Dead ? I usually feel I should give an artist's justice and listen in chronological order, especially when the debut's a good album, but most of the time I don't actually do it.

Can I offer a suggestion?

Cave is such a random 'beast' when it comes to the style of his albums, its difficult to pin down a suggestion for anyone. Which ever way you go about it you will be richly rewarded for putting in the time.

I'm not a huge fan of his earlier stuff (In comparison to his later stuff) and would personally suggest starting @ the 90's. However, that is just one fan, and if you talk to five people you will get five suggestions. He is one artist you DON'T have to start from the start with. So yeah, Firstborn is a good way to go, or Let Love In, or Tender Prey, or Abattoir Blues etc etc

Wow, the freedom! Thanks for shedding those shackles ;D
So yeah, I owe it to the journal owner to start from the First, then I can jump both feet into the 90's. Wish me a fine ride.

Forgot to add, great journal, love the way you review albums.

When I started I told myself I should always go in chronological order, one discography at a time, and I'd review every album... like a machine! Turns out music doesn't work like that. I mean, yeah, I try to start with the first (or at least the early) album(s), it just helps me understand the bands progression, but, it takes so much time for an album to really "simmer" that there's really no harm in doing what's most comfortable. I think as far as Nick Cave goes, all of his albums are good. Honestly I have listened to two, so who knows, maybe his later stuff is even better!

Thank you very much, I really appreciate some nice compliments on the way I write. I try to be pretty laid back and honest about it all rather then perfectionist. I think this Journal has actually been healthy for me!

Thanks for all the comments etc, etc. I should have the next review up pretty soon.
