Free Music Notes for Mutiny / Bad Seed
Free Music Review: "Fingers down the throat of love!!!"
Hit: 5 Stars
The "Mutiny!" and "Bad Seed" EPs were some of The Birthday Party's finest works. It's great to have them on one CD with a couple of bonus tracks to boot. Speaking of which, one of them, "Pleasure Avalanche", is okay but not as strong as the rest of the material here. This older, alternate version of "The Six Strings That Drew Blood" (later re-recorded and released on the Bad Seeds' album "Your Funeral...My Trial") is faster and harder than the later version and I sort of prefer it to the Bad Seeds' version. "Mutiny In Heaven" is an indicator of things to come on the first Bad Seeds album, "From Her To Eternity", with the inclusion of Blixa Bargeld on guitar and it's also the best song about heroin addiction I've ever heard. "Wildworld", "Fears of Gun", and "Say A Spell" are amongst some of my favorites on this CD, while "Deep In The Woods" and "Jennifer's Veil" are both slow and sinister by Birthday Party standards and mesh well with the sound Nick Cave would later adopt on the Bad Seeds albums. This CD is highly recommended!Free Music Review: oh my lord!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of those albums, that at first listen, i gasp, jump up and down, shake my hands wildly and start chanting "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!" IT ROCKS!!!! Nick Cave and his cohorts create such believably dark and menacing atmospheres that you can feel the fear. it's sooooo raw. all the tracks have this sleazy evil mood...like a strip joint in the swamp at night. all the tracks are perfect; it's one of those perfect cd's that can be listened from start to finish. it's just so coherent. if you want a goth cd...i mean real dark goth...get this cd. it basically screams "Hands up! Who wants to die?"...well actually Nick does. ;-) you can hear all the Stooges influence...It's like "Nightclubbing" meets "Search and Destroy"...super charged doom and gloom. God Bless You, Birthday Party!Free Music Review: Tonight We Sleep in Separate Ditches
Hit: 5 Stars
To categorize this CD as "goth" or "blues influenced" or "Stooges-like" is a gross oversimplification. Nick Cave is at his best bible infused morbid-ism. The addition of Einsturzende Neubauten's (and future Bad Seed) Blixa Bargeld on `Mutiny in Heaven' is pure genius. The CD in its entirety is pure genius. A timeless classic, for sure.An excerpt from `Deep in the Woods':
Now the killed waits for the killer
And the trees all nod their heads, they are agreed
This knife feels like a knife feels like a knife that feels like it's feed.
Yeah I recognize that girl
I took her from rags right through to stitches (pray for me now)
Oh baby, tonight we sleep in separate ditches.
Free Music Review: One of the best cd's....
Hit: 5 Stars
If you don't love this cd (and many people won't), then you must have a very different taste in music then me. Yes, it's different. Yes, it's offensive. Yes, it's incredibly powerful. Mutiny in Heaven is insanity on a disc, Six strings that drew the blood is awesome, as is everything on this disc. Simply brilliant, and best disc to start a birthday party obsession with.Free Music Review: beautiful chaos
Hit: 5 Stars
A manic Nick Cave backed by music stripped down to the raw bone. Rowland S Howards guitar cuts through the dirty rythms and the melancholy like a chainsaw and it's unresistable. The Birthday Party ended their career with a true masterpiece. They never sounded better than this ...
