Free Music Notes for Henry's Dream
Free Music Review: Awesome
Hit: 5 Stars
Until I bought this album 'Let Love In' was my favourite, but 'Henry's Dream' hasn't been off my cd player for weeks. It has exactly the right level of darkness - 'Loom of the Land' is really creepy for example; I'm convinced he's going to kill the girl. The balance between the slower and more up-tempo tracks is perfect and in true Cave style the stories he spins just keep you going back for more. What I particularly like about this album is the gritty quality of Cave's voice in 'Papa Won't Leave You Henry' and 'Brother my Cup is Empty' and the way the tracks build up to a crescendo both musically and vocally, increasing the menace. For me this really is a work of dark genius and I'd recommend it strongly to any Cave fan: to those who aren't quite yet - this is an excellent place to start.
Henry's Dream Poster
It's been reported that Nick Cave hates Henry's Dream. While it is deeply flawed, especially by Cave's formidable standards, he's being unnecessarily hard on this 1992 collection. Aside from any other considerations, it contains "Papa Won't Leave You, Henry," a rumbling gospel epic that remains a concert highlight, and "Straight to You," an exquisite devotional ballad. It is an odd album, however. Just when its predecessor, The Good Son, seemed to hint that Cave had accepted his natural facility for performing heroically overwrought ballads, Henry's Dream is a partial return to the gloomy Old Testament portents of "Your Funeral My Trial" and "First Born Is Dead." That's no problem--"Christina the Astonishing" and "Brother My Cup Is Empty" are especially fine. But it leaves Henry's Dream feeling rather like it's two halves of separate, half-finished albums. --Andrew MuellerAlternative Rock Music CDs
