500 Greatest Albums of the 1980s ... Ranked! # 118 Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - From Her To Eternity

 


Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds here they come again. Wherever I go there. Like monstrous portents of bad faith. A black cat zig zagging across the Peqod's desk with Moby Dick in sight. An albatross flirting with the rigging during a storm on the ocean. Oh well. Better give it a listen.  

As always I don't last for long. Nick sounds like he's gargling grit. The first song is Avalanche by Leonard Cohen. If it means so much to him why couldn't he have left it alone. I didn't get much further I'm afraid. The band sound in fine fettle. Couldn't this have been released as an instrumental album and Nick just published the lyrics.
