Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Ten or so albums into their careers, most artists have subsided into laziness, self-parody or witless second-guessing of the current musical climate. It is entirely in keeping with the wilfulness that has characterised Cave's career that at roughly that point he should start making his very best work. Let Love In is a masterpiece. It sounds both like a summation of everything Cave and his peerless band of virtuosi The Bad Seeds have ever done well--string-laden ballads, gothic blues, brooding gospel-tinged rock & roll--and a cohesive collection in its own right. "Do You Love Me?" might even be the single best thing Cave and The Bad Seeds have ever come up with: he's passionate, literate and funny; they are muscular, sensitive and menacing. --Andrew Mueller
Description
LET LOVE IN is a powerful but somewhat schizophrenic effort. It alternates between frenzied tales of decadence a la TENDER PREY, and stately, Leonard Cohenesque ballad of the sortfound on HENRY'S DREAM and THE GOOD SON. The one common thread, as always, is the unrelenting horror Cave takes such delight in presenting in his lyrics. From the morbid funeral setting of the gospelly "Lay Me Low" to the sexual abuse scenarios of the driving, profoundly disturbing "Do You Love Me?" LET LOVE IN is not for the timid. The album's highlight iseasily the understated, subtly syncopated "Red Right Hand",a tale of a satanic figure, with appropriate horror-film backing track. LET LOVE IN itself is the audio equivalent of aparticularly engrossing, ultimately unnerving horror film.
