Free Music Notes for Your Funeral...My Trial
Free Music Review: stranger than kindness ... for sure
Hit: 5 Stars
From the first note of 'Your funeral my trial' you are swept into a land of nightmares, endless illusions, perpetual lust, and everlasting love. I will admit, this isn't my most favourite Cave album, but it is a good purchase. This probably doesn't rank with the best in my book because of it's everlonging 'meaness'. You listen to albums such as The Boatman's Call and even Murder Ballads and you receive a tender side of Cave. This album has only a few moments of 'warmth' in songs like 'Stranger than Kindness' and 'Sad Waters'(my personal favourite of Cave). Overall, this is a complete album. Full of Nick's usual antics of southern, bluesy, gothic, and country music. But, as the reviewer before said, this isn't as polished as he usual work. I will admit though, 'Jack's Shadow' is well worth the price of this cd. Probably one of the most under-rated Cave songs ever.Free Music Review: .

Though not as immediately accessible as later discs like Henry's Dream, Let Love In, and Murder Ballads, Your Funeral My Trial is one of the strongest Nick Cave albums, once you get used to it. It's less polished and less grandiose, and is even rather stark and minimal. Some of the songs are quite haunting and clever, without being as in-your-face and over-the-top as later material. Some of the lyrical phrasing is particularly awkward, but this is sort of endearing once you get past its initial clumsiness. Stranger Than Kindness is quite emotive, and the Carny is a classic. Scum is nerve-grating at first, but a classic once you've gotten used to the crooning vocals. Some tracks prattle on to somewhat unnecessary lengths, time-wise, but overall I consider this one of the best NC albums I've heard.Free Music Review: More classics from "Wings of Desire"

There is no Nick but Nick. While there are those who feel that Nick reached his apex with the first Bad Seeds album,"From Her to Eternity," the opening notes of "Your Funeral, My Trial" are without parallel in the whole of the Nick Cave catalog. In addition, this album contains the incomparable Blixa Bargeld uttering the immortal words: "The nag was dead meat; we can't afford to carry dead weight." on "The Carny." This line is guaranteed to put many a job review into perspective. And for full-out bitter invective, there's the bonus track "Scum" containing some of the nastiest, most alliterative insults that one is ever likely to hear. This album is Nick: tender, kind and gentle; nasty, bitter and sardonic.
