Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
The Firstborn Is Dead (1985)

I doubt there is an artist on the face of this earth as enthusiastically into his music as the great and almighty Nick Cave. It's true I may forget every once in a while, but whenever I spin just one song on The Firstborn Is Dead I HAVE to play the entire thing, and sing it, too.

If you'll notice I give my all time favorite albums (which there are what, five of?) a rating of 6/5. This may seem confusing, so let me explain; not only are every single track on these albums stunning, but there's also something more there. That something may be different from album to album, but here it's just obvious. It may take a few spins, but the very second you are in sync with it there is absolutely no denying that it's beautifully done and mindbogglingly drop-your-feet stunning.

I look back at my old review of this and am embarrassed with how much effort I put into it. If you haven't heard this album then you could either trust me and give me a PM (I'll get it to you asap), or you could read my old review.. http://www.musicbanter.com/album-rev...tml#post629662, or you could go online and get one of the hundreds of well-written album reviews on this thing to convince you.

I'm sorry I don't give any new to Musicbanter readers more information on this, but I would end-up trying to beat to perfection the ten paragraphs I would be forced to write just trying to capture how good this album is. It's got a 6/5 rating, so PM me! If you haven't heard this and you post in here without PMing me I'm tracking you down... seriously I'm not kidding.

Bad review, fucking brilliant album.
Cheers MB! Sincerely, Schizotypic
