Free Music Review: Can't Miss This One
Hit: 5 Stars
I first picked this CD up when I was in High School at a Pawn Shop b/c I saw 'Weeping Song' on 120 Minutes or something. I hardly listened to the rest of the CD and it wasn't for 8 years that I sat down and actually 'listened' to it entireity, and was I surprised. This is one of the Great Ones that will survive our generation and one that our kids will be listening to. With the exception of one song that is kind of out of place on the CD, this album is one of the most memorable that I can recall. Nick Cave has continued to 'Wow' his audiences with continually better releases but this one is a MUST. BUY THIS ALBUM!!!Free Music Review: One of Cave's best
Hit: 5 Stars
If you like "No More Shall We Part" then this is for you - its in that approximate mode of Cave+Bad Seeds music.
I like this album a lot - and it has grown and grown on me over the years. Lyrics like "love came a-knockin', came a-knockin' at our door. But you, you and me dear, we don't live there anymore". Ouch. Much better as he sings it too.
I was a little worried when I first played it - there's a terrible buzz from the first strum of the guitar on the first song!!
Great album though.

I have been a fan of Nick Cave for about 12 years now and eagerly await each new release. Time & time again he continues to deliver the goods. Although I feel that No More Shall We Part is one of the finest pieces of music that Nick/Bad Seeds have produced I feel that this collection stands at the top of the heap. This is the record that saw Nick really make a step forward in composition & lyric. The Ship Song is one of the most beautiful songs ever written & Sorrows Child is outstanding. Timeless music.Free Music Review: High point in Nick Cave career
Hit: 5 Stars
An often overlooked album by fans of Cave's more recent work, this album is pretty much a blueprint for many Nick Cave albums to follow. The album works well as a collective, with the two most prominent tracks 'The Weeping Song' and 'The Ship Song' going on to become Nick Cave standards which all his other ballads have been measured to. Certainly a high point in his recording career, although true commercial success was to come a few years later. A great album for any fan of Nick Cave.Free Music Review: Nick Cave's overlooked masterpiece.
Hit: 5 Stars
"The Good Son" is a haunting collection of vintage Nick Cave songs that tell of loss, sorrow, death and despair. Those subjects may be standard Cave fare, but the amazing string arrangements featured on almost every tune add an epic sweep to the album, imbuing it with a grandeur found in the work of Jacques Brel and his protoge, Scott Walker. While Cave sings of pain and tears, the music moves you there with him--and you're better off for having gone along for the ride.
