The first album by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds is an open exploration of southern blues and a frazzled masterpiece. A craggy, visceral and deeply arresting album. Throes of love and rejection, unquenched desire and despair, obsession, loathe and self-deprecation, overwhelming feeling of lack and loss come lyrically to the fore. With this album Cave & company started their own unique brand of rock.
