Ummm they're playing coachella?

So are the bad seeds. So.....

Been listening to this a lot and it's the best Cave LP since "No more shall we part". Makes me think about The National and Arab Strap. A mean grower....Well done!

Can't wait for the live recordings to start popping up. Year after year, no matter what the recent album sounds like, the live shows are (almost) always worth a listen.

But then, I'm American. Believe it or not, I can, if I choose, go through the rest of my American life without ever hearing a Nick Cave song. But I understand if people in other countries might be sick of him by now.

One doesn't get sick of Nick Cave, Nick Cave gets sick of you.

Ha! True. "Fuck all y'all. I'm gonna go write a novel."

The album does not disappoint.

Finally got this! (I´ve have had problems with vinyl ordering, first I ordered the version where was also 7", then the store said it was out of print, then I ordered ordinary version, after many weeks it was also out of print! Then last monday I ordered it from another store and it came today!)

After first listening I already love it! The some songs reminds me Nocturama, some No More Shall We Part, some Boatmen´s Call, but the arrangements are totally different, so I can say this Cave album he never done before! I really love that here-after-atmosphere that´s in the vinyl, also those warm seventies-feeling sounds are just great!

BTW did someone got the version with 7"?

I'm still holding off on hearing the album, but I have started to download recent shows and the new stuff sounds great. Moody, good words.

I AMgoing through life not hearing a Nick Cave song.

It´s your problem.

I'll cope.

The album is too short. My only real complaint.

Better to be great short album than the long with few mediocre songs.

Too true.

I saw him live at Massey Hall (Toronto) on this tour. set worked really well, as he split it between the new album and older, raunchier songs. stagger lee in particular was fantastic. I honestly don't think the bad seeds will ever end

if making a ton of money, releasing great music and writing decent films is boring, then sure. making us, the most borings cunt in the face of the universe.

Here he is at Cochella with a small orchestra. You know what kinda sucks, though? I look at the "Bad Seeds," and for the most part, I'm like, "Who the fuck are these people?"

Then again, I guess early fans from FROM HERE looked at the LET LOVE IN band and thought the same.

EDIT: On second thought, the new band really does kind suck. No oomph. The guitars are especially weak. They're not giving Cave what he needs, which is barely-contained insanity.

I just bought ticket to Flow-festival on friday...and to my big suprise there is also Blixa! What a great summer of 2013!

It´s true there is lesser guitar in today´s bad seeds, because only one who play it in the album is Warren Ellis (I really liked also he´s playing although he really isn´t Harvey or Blixa). In album it doesn´t bother me at all, but of course it can be different in the live situation. I haven´t watched any of live performances and I believe I will not watch before that Flow gig.

Warren Ellis is incredible and I wont let a bad word be said about him.

It's this "Ed Kuepper" guy.

Listening to shows from DIG LAZ DIG tour, I thought something was off with the guitars. Same with the new shows.

It's this guy, I figured out.

I mean, it's not like he's total shit. I just don't think he belongs in this band. He detracts more than he contributes.

Blixa can play only a few notes and be perfect.
This guy can play through the whole song and add nothing.

That's all.

A weird complaint, I guess.
