I gave this one a "meh." There was a time, back in the 80's & early 90's, when I was into Nick Cave. First with The Birthday Party and then with The Bad Seeds. Had several albums, saw him live a couple of times. By the time this album came out I had lost interest. He just seemed to me, as was previously mentioned in this thread, a bit too contrived and cartoonish by that time. I hadn't heard this album in probably 20 years and I actually found it rather tedious to get through.

These days, I prefer his film scores to anything he does with The Bad Seeds or Grinderman.
