Stop shilling this fucking hack

Fuck off, retard

...

Fuck off

AOTY
Based Nick Cave

It will be get a 10.0 from pitchfork. Screencap this.

yeah but this won't bring his son back lmao

AOTY doesn't say much, there isn't much competition
that said, this isn't even in his top10, I'd even say it struggles to stay above the bottom place in his discography

anyone who disagrees is a bandwagoner, you're not going to hear lifelong nick cave fans saying this is his best

No one is saying it's his best, it's just one of the best, if not the best album in years.

Top 3 songs:
1. Girl In Amber
2. Jesus Alone
3. Anthrocene

go back to grimes/death grips threads, underage fuck

...

RIP

>NME
>10/10
into the trash it goes then

do i care enough to give this a listen if nick cave never did it for me?

What's wrong with NME?

sure is newfag here

distant sky would be perfect if it weren't for the female vocals

They're a bad publication all round, but the review, in fairness was pretty good.

It is AOTY

>he doesn't know

nme.com/reviews/arctic-monkeys/14752

Thanks

probably, it doesn't sound like anything else he has done
as a nick cave fan it's not doing it for me so maybe it will do it for you

Anyone who's saying it's his worst or 2nd worst is objectively wrong. No matter how you want to rank his discog, From Her to Eternity, Murder Ballads, and Nocturama all should have preserved spots at the bottom.

>Arctic Monkeys’ fifth record is absolutely and unarguably the most incredible album of their career. It might also be the greatest record of the last decade. It’s not, however, the work of a band operating at their absolute peak – that’s yet to come. It’s the work of a band still growing, still fine-tuning, still learning and still experimenting; a band who will not look back on this record as a career high, but as the moment they stopped being defined by genre and instead became artists. Not a rock band, definitely not an indie band, but artists. Think Bowie, think The Beatles, think Stevie Wonder and think Bob Dylan. From this point on, Arctic Monkeys can do whatever they want, sound however they like, and always be Arctic Monkeys. But that’s all for another day, sometime in their stupidly bright future. For now, we should celebrate this record for what it is – 41 minutes and 57 seconds of near perfection.

Skeleton Tree leaves Cave’s wounds open, raw and bleeding. Like David Bowie’s critically-acclaimed, analogy-laden swansong Blackstar, it is not overly long, with each song serving to tighten an increasingly acute clench in the chest.

I agree that Murder Ballads is his worst (barring the cover album), but Nocturama is so underappreciated. It's really not as bad as people make it out to be.

Nick Cave sucks ass

Henry's Dream [Mute/Elektra, 1992]
Cave's admirers crow about his literary virtues--a rock musician who's actually published a novel! and scripted a film! about John Henry Abbott, how highbrow! Then they proffer dismal examples like "I am the captain of my pain," or the bordello containing--what an eye the man has--a whalebone corset! (Whalebone is very literary--it hasn't been used in underwear since well before Nick was born.) If this is your idea of great writing, you may be ripe for his cult. Otherwise, forget it--the voice alone definitely won't do the trick. C

ofc
>AOTY/AOTD

but the voice alone DOES the trick
you can be biased about his lyrics and music all you want but trying to argue that he doesn't have a powerful and characterful voice is just ridiculous

>6 reviews

no it isn't

In any case if you can actually listen to his lyrics without breaking out into laughter or rage you're a true tard, anyone who says that he's a great writer don't even realize how below average he is

It's soon gonna fuck them in the ass

jesus fucking christ, everything in this pic is terrible, bland top40 pop, except for radiohead, and it's 7/10 at best

Nick cave is Shit Cave
am i right?

YEP

fuck Robert Christgau, his reviews are pure nonsense and he's an asshole

Where should i start with Nick Cave? I've tried listening to Murder Ballads but it sounds like Swans on xanax

i think that was not a good start though, any recs will be appreciated

No More Shall We Part is GOAT

Where do I start with Nick Cave?

start with living in a cave

Anyone have a download?

Lifelong Nick Cave fan here, what makes you think I don't love this as much as Let Love In, From her to Eternity or anything he made with Birthday Party?

That's why I just can't trust aggregate scores. Garbage, 7/10 at best for one or two of these

Nocturama is redeemed by Babe I'm On Fire, but there's so many awkward and annoying songs on that album that it doesn't make for much of a cohesive statement.

>tfw too much of a retard to work out the chords for skeleton tree

Any help from people less Down syndrome?

Too late for Bowie to be on suicide watch, don't you think?

No, why would it be?

>I've tried listening to Murder Ballads but it sounds like Swans on xanax

I'd say download Tender Prey, Let Love In and The Boatman's Call and see which style you like best

The Good Son

Nick is loaded, hes like an half-brazilian. He leads his surprises. Nickloading, this is a type of album that you does not need to hear, hes a true musician.

Nick is a surprise in musician form, when i listened to "Foi Na Cruz" this was god-meeting thing. Sing with me Foi na cruz, foi na cruz, onde um dia eu vi meus pecados castigados em Jesus, foi ali pela fé que os meus olhos abri, holy shit I BELONG TO JESUS.

This is already a classic and this is not even Views from the 6.

chronologically with the Boys Next Door

Tender Prey.

Try Push the Sky Away. It's not his best, but it's a very accessible album.

Jesus I like arctic monkeys a lot, even played all of AM a few times but Jesus fucking Christ they have not changed their sound hardly at all since their debut

nick cave

They have though

In any case, that review was absolutely cringeworthy

You just posted a Robert Christgau review alongside your opinion

And you expect yourself to be taken seriously

blonde isn't a top 40 album at all, same goes with puberty 2. you sound like a pretentious douchebag desu

>Blonde debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 276,000 album-equivalent units, of which 232,000 were traditional album sales.[24]

this nigga look like the grinch

What a beautiful album.

Which is the best song of this album?

It isn't a new concept that to get an album recognised and or praised by critics in the magazine industry you need a gimmick or a hook.

This particular gimmick happened to be his son's death.
Seems really calculated, callas and money-grabbing to be fair. And I like Nick Cave.

either girl in amber or i need you imo

Most of the songs are blatantly not about his son's death, and the album was well underway and had likely a release schedule before his son died.

These.

He did not use his son's death as a gimmick, it occurred while he was working on it and it's apparent to tell which songs involve it and which ones do not.

Long time cave fan here and I think this is probably his best album that isn't tender prey. Easily aotd

I would say start with tender prey as it has a bit of variety as far as styles go and is probably his best. You could try listening to his last record push the sky away which was pretty good (jubilee street is goat)

Am F# G

Normally I would think the same thing but most of this was made before his son died and some of the lyrics probably just happened to relate (I think Jesus alone was already written). In the end it's still a really good album

Doesn't sound like the right key

Yeah, of course it wasn't all intentional, but he had to realise that this would be the opinion people would take. As an intelligent man he would also realise this would do nothing but help boost sales and widespread appeal/recognition.
Similar to if an artist dies shortly after releasing a mediocre album, and it is praised more than it should have been.

This.

Why is he trying so hard to be David Tibet on this album?

Serious question, why do people like Nick Cave?

>inb4 his music is good

>Judging by one shithead writer
