"Nick has been re-discoverd via film directors (Wes Anderson and Zach Braff, thanks!) and musicians name-dropping him. This is the blueprint for the shadowy side of modern solo musicianship."
"One album before his heartbreaking death. It's beautiful, yet patchy, and even worse, loaded with potential if he'd carried on. Check out Hallelujah, then try and be the same person you were before."
"His reputation as being a modern day Jerry Lee Lewis (psychotic piano antics on stage) doesn't translate to CD, but this album is still great. Nice vintage sound, lots of big beats and cool piano."
"Nick Cave is probably my favourite male solo artist (A moot point, I know, but compiling this list, it's just struck me). This is his N' Seed's best album."
"Good place to start for new Cave N' Seed fans, but it's extra curricular to pretty much everything else they've done. It's just got great thematic content throughout, as apposed to seperate tracks."
"Considering how many albums Cave N' Seeds have released, their latest is unbelievably fresh and amazing. Most bands just aren't prolific and still good quality these days."
"... and neither is this. Hard to believe it's the same guy from all those early '90s forgettable albums. This is musically great (lyrically, he always was)."
"Like Morrissey, Waters lost nothing of his lyrical and vocal credibility by going solo (only the actual music occassinally let them down) - not here, though. This is his best material since Floyd."
