How could you love the Mercy Seat but not the rest of Tender Prey? That album's not even inaccessible, very song oriented, and all the songs are good and memorable. The Mercy Seat is the best one but I'd argue that it's also the most "difficult" of the bunch.
Obviously you need to listen to it again, cuz if you don't you're gonna be dead.

Um, that album
is No More Shall We Part. And I love it. I've just never been drawn to those other three first albums the way I was to
TGS and
HD and everything pretty much on from there. I love the way Cave can be menacing as **** with just a piano or a guitar. Remember "Song of joy"? Jesus, the creeping menace in that song, and yet it's so simple and stripped down it's untrue. What a guy.
