The decision was not made lightly or on a whim, rather it was a tough artistic decision determined by the needs of the songs themselves. He is the very best there is. The decision as to what sort of record we make is largely out of our hands. The record must mean something, right? What more can we ask? The form that that expression of meaning comes in is, to some degree, beside the point.
We are slaves to manifest meaning and masters to nothing at all. Love, Nick. Levitation CD 2 Ghosteen Archived from on Retrieved 13 May Retrieved 12 May The s were very good to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
Where the previous decade saw Cave successfully transition out of the Birthday Party's combustible punk toward a more urbane, theatrical brand of rock, the 90s elevated him to the realm of archetype and institution. He successfully party-crashed Hollywood and 'Top of the Pops', all while the college-radio charts filled up with emergent artists-- PJ Harvey, Tindersticks, Afghan Whigs-- cut from the Bad Seeds' black-velvet cloth. The Bad Seeds' mids pinnacle forms the basis of the latest round of Mute's excellent reissue series, which include vividly remastered versions of the original albums, along with a 5.
The title of the film series is taken from the two-part song that opens and closes Let Love In, an authoritative show of force that was perfectly timed for the Bad Seeds' insurrectionary appearance on the Lollapalooza tour. The Bad Seeds had always traded in high drama and dissonance, but never before had they sounded this imposingly heavy-- the lecherous intimations of 'Do You Love Me? But amid Let Love In's ballast, you can hear Cave's increased adeptness at exploring his fascinations using sly, pitch-black humor instead of transgressive shock tactics.
As Let Love In's signature tracks proved, Cave's love songs could easily turn into death songs, so it was inevitable that he'd devote an entire album to exploring that symbiotic relationship.
Murder Ballads has a title so obvious and self-defining, it's amazing that it took the Bad Seeds nine albums to use it.
