Great - By: Mr. D-G, 03 Aug 2008 
Have to confess to being a Birthday Party fan more than Nicks later work but this album is a bit like welcoming the Birthday Party back.
Great album played by old men with a real bad attitude problem. If you like your music angry & dirty this is the album for you. I have had this album for several months & it still gets lots of plays.
v v v v good! - By: M. Hutchinson, 26 Jan 2008 This album is fantastic - reallly earthy, brilliant opening track, wonderful lyrics great melodies. 'Get it on' & 'I don't need you to set me free' are as good as any tracks on any Nick Cave album. Puts the rest of the rock world to shame.
Cave Astonishes Me - Again! - By: Andie Lambourne, 17 Oct 2007 When will this man not stop amazing me, what an album! The base line in 'No Pussy Blues' just makes my hairs stand on end (and that Fran blokes as well, him from Travis, judging by Grinderman's performance of the song on Later.....(check it out on You Tube).
Absolutely stonking album from Cave, what next??!!
return of the max - By: PIerre la PUTAIN, 27 Aug 2007 Nick Cave & a handful of his Seeds stroll into town with this grinding hog's maw of a record. The Dark Lord re-grasps the crown of Worlds Greatest Lyricist that he lost some ten years ago with a clutch of darkly humorous cartoon punk songs,howls & atmospheres. He sings movingly of his father on Man On The Moon & comes over alll lustful on No Pussy Blues. The whole record thrashes, bleeds & provokes & is a direction that Saint Nick should have pursued after the uber-lush No More Shalll We Part. Sweet damnation but its good to have the old heavy blues gun slinger back in the neighborhood & to hear a bunch of musicians who reallly know how to play together, making alll manner of exquisite shapes & strategies. Now, bring on the next Bad Seeds record!
Class - By: Atticus Stount, 11 Aug 2007 This is amongst the greatest recordings Cave & co. have accomplished (yes, I did mean to use the word accomplish). For those of you who have wondered, misty-eyes, what The Birthday Party may have sounded like if carried on, this is a good example. So good, I can hardly find words that fit. The bollox.
