New Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
 

I was excited, but having heard We No Who U R, I'm afraid I fear the worst.

I'll be seeing them on February 19 in Mexico City. Looking forward to it.

To me this song sounds that Cave & Co have come back from Grinderman-influenced raw feelings (Dig lazarus) to ballad feelings Ala Nocturama & Boatman´s Call. Nothing very shocking, but not bad. Of course when it´s Cave it´s possible rest of the album is something totally different.

I don't know, I kind of like this song. Maybe because I just did a partial Twin Peaks marathon last night, but I really like the feel of it :)

I personally like the feel of the artwork.

-Cave is one of those very few artists who have never made an album where at the end I say, "Well, that was an utter waste of 45 minutes."

-That said, DIG LAZARUS was the most boring Bad Seeds album. This must be an improvement.

-This'll be the first post-Mick Harvey album, right?

-If the tunes suck, I look forward to the lyrics. Or vice versa. Or I look forward to hearing how Cave's voice currently sounds. There's always something worth hanging onto on a Bad Seeds album.

-And, of course, I'm looking forward to a tour.

Fuck. Never mind the tour. I see that most of the handful of US dates have sold out already, fucking three months in advance.

Totally disagree. Abatoir Blues album is ok, but when it came, I thought even it tried to be more rock album than Nocturama, there was something musty. But when Lazarus came, I was really suprised how it rocked, of course it wasn´t new From Her to Eternity, but somehow Cave have backbone lots more in Lazarus than Abatoir.

If this is boring I think listener should watch in the mirror:

And this rocks much more than so called "rock" bands like Guns & Roses:

I'm pretty god damn excited about this one. I've never complained about a Nick Cave album. Even his soundtracks are great. Lawless less so than ...Jesse James. But a full tilt Bad Seeds release is always something to look forward to.

i wish he kept grinderman around a little longer

Yeah. Me too.

I wish I was able to attend that show :(

Really? I dunno. They ok I guess. On each album there were probably 3 or 4 great songs. After that it goes it *shoulder shrug* area.

But I'm hella glad that the Bad Seeds are back. Been waaayyy too long.

I have also loved all the Cave bands & albums, but not those instrumental soundtracks. I listened some album in the record shop and it was ok but not as great as his other stuff. Maybe one reason that I didn´t buy it was that it didn´t came in vinyl if I remembered correct.

i love nick cave obviously. my stupid forum name here is from a birthday party song and I even have a stupid tattoo (my first and still only) that says "release the bats" with bats flying around. real dumb. i was young.

Yours is actually my favorite SYG username, just to let you know, and this does not sound that bad.

In all honesty, there is no way your "stupid youth" tattoo is dumber than mine. Mine is so dumb that I refuse to even begin talking about it. The kind of tattoo you have to go to great lengths to hide for the rest of your life, no matter who you're with, or what setting you're in.

My tattoo would get me an asswhooping at a junior high. Seriously.

At least yours represents TBP/Nick Cave, which is badass.

hahaah

Seriously, I'll trade your Nick Cave tat for my Nick Carter tat. What the fuck was I thinking?

Your tat sounds to me just great, I think if I will take tattoo someday, I could take something like yours (and I am forty) :) . I saw many years ago tattoo in the shop that is like King Crimson Court of the Crimson-cover and I thought I will take it someday. But haven´t done it. I think that image in your tattoo could also have Beefheart`s songname Brickbats.
