Return of the Bad Seeds

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Woohoo!

A bit pricey indeed. :eek:

Can't wait though. I also can't wait till the guy I used to work with gives me back ALL of my Nick Cave albums I lent to him. :evil:

Can someone show this to Von? For that whole, how much fun it is to record an album and set a release date thing? :twisted:

If I had more time, I would re-do the whole thing in Photoshop with Von's face on it, with a soft nursery rhyme-like chant/background music of "why are we waiting" .... :lol:

It's not all fun. I've been increasingly dissappointed by every Cave related release since No More Shall We Part. And there's no fun in that, no fun at all... :?

And then this comes along.
Nothing about content other than what you physically get with it...
A Multi-format money grab before any pre-release reviews or interviews, (at least that i've seen...)

But as has become the norm, it will be critically lauded as an 'important' peice of work and the office based inteviews will laugh at the dead pan wit and crazy stories of the drug related mayhem in the 80's...

The repeating retrospectives in the music monthlies will have lists of his best albums (heavy on the 80's and early 90's), and illustrated with pictures of the suited shadows of Blixa & Mick to remind me when the bad seeds were indeed mighty.

Does that mean you'll be ordering the version with all the bells and whistles then?

Ditto. But really, the last great record was The Boatman's Call, which I think is a sublimely beautiful album. No More Shall We Part was, I think, marred by God is in the House, which lyrically sounds like a more refined version of something an 80's metal band should have written. I wince every time I hear it. The high point of Nocturama, for me, was Babe, I'm on Fire. I recall nothing about Abbatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus except the song about Orpheus. Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! is better than those records, and a step in the right direction, but I don't think it's as good as No More Shall We Part. It has its moments, though.

Not really sure if I consider them the Bad Seeds without Blixa and Mick Harvey. Should be Nick Cave and the Other Seeds.

And another Ditto.....No More Shall we Part was excellent......only Dig has shown a glimmer since then....

Is it just me or is Nick turning into what could be described as a dirty old man...the new cover and the Grinderman stuff is kind of disquieting

Ah maybe this is a reason why :von: dosen't realease anything new. It's always better in the old days is the cry. It's generally not. Just different. Ain't a fan of the last few Nick albums tho Dig was very good. Wouldn't want a return to the Birthday Partt days. And even if he did this someone would say The Boys Next Door were better...
