On this day in 1994, #NickCaveandTheBadSeeds released their eighth studio album, "Let Love In".
Got some of my favourite Bad Seeds songs including "Lay Me Down", "Do You Love Me" and of course "Red Right Hand". What're your favourites from this one?
CD#188 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #BSidesAndRaritiesPart2 2021, another excellent outtakes and b-sides comp. Tracks 5-11 on the first CD are incredible. The second CD has Skeleten Tree/ Ghosteen outtakes which are gorgeous. My last Nick Cave CD and we are going out with a bang. Listen to Needle Boy.
CD#187 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #SkeletonKey 2016 album released in extraordinary circumstances. At the time you couldn’t get past the grief. Listening now reveals an album of incredible sounds & textures. These are less songs & more meditations. It will go on the ‘big’ stereo tonight. A revelation.
CD#186 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #PushTheSkyAway 2013 - I saw this in London a week before it came out. Wow. What a gig. This was the starting point for the new Bad Seeds sound. This isn’t Blues or Rock. It was something delicate & new and I lapped it up. Jubilee Street - does it get better than that?
CD#184 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #DigLazarusDig 2008 album released after the Grinderman side project. It’s a bluesy rocky record and the last of its kind by the Bad Seeds. It’s mostly fantastic, with the run of Hold On To Yourself/Lie Down Here/Jesus Of The Moon/Midnight Man being especially good.
CD#183 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #BSidesAndRarities superb 2005 triple CD collection of stuff from the beginning up to Orpheus. Loads of gems, but will highlight the stuff with Shane from The Pogues, Betty Coltrane, Blixa’s vocals on Wild Roses (🤣) plus some absolute corkers on CD 3. Love it.

CD#182 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #AbattoirBlues #TheLyreOfOrpheus this 2004 double album is where I joined the cult. Immaculate song writing and playing throughout. One of my all time favourites by anyone. TLOO is the gentler album, culminating in the awesome O Children. AB adds the rock and raunch.
CD#181 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #Nocturama the 2003 album gets very little positive press. It’s not bad by any means: Babe I’m On Fire, Bring It On, Dead Man, Wonderful Life, He Wants You, Dead Man .. all good. However the album does sound a bit soft and woolly elsewhere. A bit too close to normal.
CD#181 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #NoMoreShallWePart 2001, 4 years after TBC the songs are also piano based but tend to crescendos with the full band. Perfected in Sorrowful Wife & 15 Feet is also great. Warren’s violin makes an entrance on this album, which overall is quite a long exhausting listen.
CD#180 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #TheBestOf superb 1998 compilation of some of the highs so far. Really shows the breadth and quality of NC’s songs and the band’s excellent playing. The last two songs are Where The Wild Roses Grow with Kylie, & the mental noise fest From Her To Eternity. Says it all.
CD#179 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #TheBoatmansCall a year after Murder Ballads - another handbrake turn. Quiet, reflective piano songs of love & loss. The songs are really strong, really beautiful. Nowhere, Into My Arms, Kingdom, People Ain’t No Good, & Are You The One are up there with his best.
CD#178 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #MurderBallads I saw Nick and Kylie perform Wild Roses at ‘95 Feile Festival in Cork. It was electric. The album that followed in 1996 contained that hit & a bunch of other songs about death. It’s good, if a little inconsistent. Stagger Lee the other big highlight.
CD#177 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #LetLoveIn 1994 album sees them absolutely at the top of their game. Faultless, and endlessly replayable. Some scary lyrics in here (the last song 😮) plus some songs that are incredibly evocative (Red Right Hand, Thirsty Dog & the incredible title track). Masterpiece.
CD#176 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #HenrysDream this 1992 album marks the point from which I know Cave very well. What an album, every song a winner. Apparently it was a nightmare to record and the band hate it. What do they know 😂. No highlights (or they all are). Bar room gospel never sounded better.
CD#175 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #TheGoodSon 1990 album recorded in Brazil. Is this even the same band? Much more uplifting, with strings, timpani, gospel.. some of these songs are timeless: Weeping, Hammer, Ship, the title track and Witness is a gas. Really fabulous album.
CD#174 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #TenderPrey 1988 album that opens with one of their most famous tracks, the ferocious The Mercy Seat. It’s an outlier, as the rest of the record shows an increasing mastery of more subtle textures. Deanna, Devil, Alice and City of Refuge are obvious other highlights.

CD#173 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #YourFuneralMyTrial 1986 album that marks a change in direction from deep blues to a more gothy sad rock. The title track is gorgeous. The Carny is beguilingly strange. But I don’t think this album stands tall in their back catalogue.
CD#172 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #KingingAgainstThePricks a covers album from 1986. Curious mix of stuff. I enjoy listening to it, but is way down the list of his best albums. CD adds Black Betty & Running Scared, both sold which deserve their place more than (say) All Tomorrow’s Parties.

CD#171 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #TheFirstbornIsDead 1985 and they descend further into swampland blues. I don’t think it’s as consistently good as the debut, but the highlights: Tupelo (still great live to this day), Knockin’ On Joe and a maniacal take on Dylan’s Wanted Man are very high indeed.
CD#170 #NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds #FromHerToEternity 1984 debut after Birthday Party split. Raucous, heavy blues. It sounds chaotic and yet brutally correct. Nick honing his ‘deranged preacher’ shtick. I came to him late so didn’t realise my CD has 3 extra tracks over the original. It’s great.
Listening to 'Into My Arms' by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds is like being embraced by a warm, melancholic hug. A song touching the depths of the soul.
