jloper Aug 12, 2023
nice quality pressing with good dynamic sound like a good vinyl lp should sound!!!
athinu Aug 9, 2022
Beautiful moody album about loss, bright horses sends shivers through my spine. Sound quality wise also great quiet record with good dynamics.
danfigh Apr 22, 2022
Hilarious commentary on an artist who created and dedicated this album to one person. Hint: you’re not that person.

nick cave goes yoga music. nick cave goes yoga music.

To the music. This is a sensational piece of art coming from an extremely unbearable place. What a channel Nick is, really incendiary.

This pressing is absolutely incredible. I don’t think I have a pressing that is so perfectly bought to vinyl. I’m astonished the dynamics coming across here. Truly a beautiful piece of art lovingly bought to our ears and hearts.

And yes, the LP cover is so beautiful. Top of my listening pile. Wow.
arievandam Jan 2, 2022
Dead silent pressing with outstanding dynamics. The cover art is easily one of the best album covers I’ve ever seen and the music inside is lush and gorgeous. Anyone saying this stuff is boring clearly isn’t paying attention to what Nick Cave is saying here. Each song paints a picture so vivid and colorful just like the cover.

I think the band name "Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds" means more than a band.

my review very soon...

Cover Art: 10/10
Sound Quality: 10/10
Packaging: 10/10 (poly lined inner sleeves with lyrics)

Overall: 10/10, ABSOLUTE Masterpiece.

My absolute favourite album of all time, for any artist.

Great album cover.

Quality pressing too.

Nice pressing and packaging but I just can't hum along with these 'tunes'.

Bit of a borefest.

1) Quality
Pressing I have sounds well balanced, dark but not too heavy and isn’t warped or anything. Lower and mid-tones are placed well so they sound distinctive from one another. Quality pressing which brings pleasure to my ears.

2) The music
Seeing discussion below it feels like ‘reviewers’ are getting fed by populism and it’s now more than ever reflected in everything people discus. Where is the nuance? Where are the questions? Music is something we all on Discogs appreciate -> when artists explore/are directed into new ways, why whine about what was. Or complain hardly that it’s rubbish. If it’s not your taste okay, but open up your ears and you might find something new now and then in stead of rambling on about yesteryear.

Personally I love the last 3 albums, so confided me a newer fan, but coming to know these album I discovers the older works as well. Getting to know the artists, the band (especially when decades pass) brings extra layers into the musical paths. Events in life changes people, so it is bound to change the artist, so it is reflected in a change of music.
