a better introduction to nick cave than the best of........

Review Score: (10/10)
the emotion and the talent that nick cave and the bad seeds are so full of really comes through in this album, just as it does in all the others. a little bit more accesible than some of his earlier stuff, partly because it is live (and thus a bit more upbeat than most of his albums) and also because it includes more of the songs that you want to hum and less of the songs that make you want to bash your head into a wall until you are left with only a bloody stump. he really is brilliant, even if this review is less than it. listening to nick cave is a vision into what true pain, depression, and thought are like; if you prefer to remain shallow for the rest of your life, then avoid this album (and the rest of their music) like the plague.
