I really like that album with The Mercy Seat. And I like Grinderman. Im 39, my dad got me into Nick Cave like 20 years ago when he took me to visit a college and we listened to it on cassette. Good memory thanks for taking me back there.

This album is notoriously badly recorded, personally I prefer slightly the Iggy mix over the Bowie one but I do wish sometimes this album would sound a bit better

But Iggy's performance is fine and I completely disagree with the first verse being shallow.

"I'm a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm ,I'm a runaway son of the nuclear A-bomb" is an amazing line

I have been listening to Nick Cave for more than 30 years. One of the best writers, musician and performers I know. I've seen him live both as solo (no Bad Seeds) and full band in big stage.

It has been especially interesting watching/listening to his journey through life and music.

>The timbre of music, which is the texture, color, and quality peaked in the 60s-70s and has been declining ever since.

You're so absolutely wrong here and excluding the 80s and 90s just makes you sound ridiculous. Do you know how much further the sonic colour palette expanded as the tech grew over that 30-40 years?

Like have you even listened to Radiohead? I feel so bad for you man. Your brain is frozen in amber.

I love Warren Ellis and the soundtracks they do, but I'm firmly of the opinion that the Bad Seeds lineup with Mick, Blixa and Conway is infinitely better than what's been touring under that name for the last 10 years.

Grinderman forever, though.

33-y.o. woman in the US and I've loved Nick Cave since I was a young teenager. He was the first artist I found who spoke to how I was feeling at that time in my life, and I feel like his music has somehow always met me where I'm at. I vacillate between liking The Bad Seeds and The Birthday Party more. I enjoy Grinderman but not nearly as much as Cave's other projects.
