Just think that it falls under the 'nothing special' category... It all feels too similar, which is annoying because we know for a fact that Cave can keep on pulling new ideas/sounds/combination's from anywhere. It's a nice chilled album, but nothing on it that is memorable.

Any particular songs you would swap in/out? I was a little hesitant on 'The Hammer Song' but felt TGS deserved to be recognised despite being a down tempo album overall.

With the more intense list I was a bit 80's heavy, and a bit 00's/late 90's heavy with the chilled list... But thats his natural progression in a lot of ways...
