Neil Young: Rust Never Sleeps
15 jan 13
It starts with an acoustic guitar and ends up at grunge, in fact. Beyond the weight of an album that weighs TONS on the history of Rock as a whole, there's the emotion of the first listen that will never come back, when you hadn't yet read credits or reviews and you didn't know that that beginning would correspond to that end. And you felt the sound change, evolve, grow darker piece by piece, minute by minute... OUT OF THE BLUE AND INTO THE BLACK.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: Your Funeral... My Trial
13 mar 13
Perhaps not the most emblematic, but definitely the most complex, difficult, and profound album of Semi Cattivi. Lyrics worthy of literary analysis, images drawn freely from the Bible, and arrangements crafted by genius/drugged minds. This album is Blixa's guitar on "Jack's Shadow," Mick Harvey's xylophone on "The Carny," the sexual delirium of "Hard On For Love," and the organ in "Sad Waters," which is a glimpse of the heavenly amid the hell. A record for life.

    I’ve always considered it a "difficult" listen and have always preferred from her and the firstborn. But indeed, each of her albums was different from the previous one, and even in the double 12" format, stranger than kindness is worth the price of admission.

    ...whose words are by Anita Lane, to music by Bargeld. And for this reason, it is not included in the collections of Cave's lyrics.

    Thank you, but this Josif/Peppino is truly a historical case. After a month, I take an hour to look at the comments on my stuff, and I see he’s everywhere despite the fact that no one has cared about him in months. And he conjures up imaginary clones, throwing accusations at me. What can we say: may the new Pope pray for him, for this lone and outcast soul.

    oh, yes... because gioseffa is convinced that I am you, threats of phantom beatings, babbles, thinks he can scare someone, raves... classic syndrome of chronic lack of pussy... he’s a loser, poor thing, he can't vent otherwise. he always and only says bullshit, the usual ones. a giant pain in my ass, and the more you provoke him, the more he dives into political bullshit... if stalinslao is funny, he’s just hopelessly ridiculous... bye, idiot ;-)))

    Ah, why has LaPo never accused me of having clones? In fact, the others (Alfonso, Giangastone, etc...) are just users who are tired of people like LaPo the leftist and similar crap. Instead, Lapo's desperate choice to create a clone to write all the repressed vulgarities that he couldn't type on S&llino is sad and terrible. But talking about pussy?? Since you're a Vendoliano, you only like cock and, maybe, ass. Go back to sucking, because in the USSR, people like you didn't end up very well.

Among the last to truly move me, great ballads and interesting writing even if not at the level of past masterpieces, even some memories of the distant (and toxic) Berlin days in "Dead Man In My Bed" - Blixa is magnificent - and in the EXHAUSTING "Babe I'm On Fire."

It was exceptional, both in terms of concept and execution. Then of course, between "Henry Lee" and the wild roses, I will always prefer "Henry Lee," but also because among the Ladies involved - I hope the OTHER won't hold it against me - there's a certain difference...

    I definitely prefer where the wild roses grow between the two, even though it’s definitely more commercial and melodic. Anyway, henry lee has the SAME chorus as the curse of millhaven…! I conclude by saying that for me it’s not exactly the most successful first album of Cave.

    For me, Let Love In already didn’t reach excellence; of course, for that reason, we’re still talking about very good albums. Only "Nocturama" (excluding the last track) and Scava Lazaro Scava did not appeal to me at all from Cave. Immense.

    As a top-notch fan of the crazy Australian, I don't dismiss anything from his rich discography; the work collected here by our esteemed reviewer is one of his finest, and the piece where he collaborates with Polly J is a sublime peak... and who better than Nick could tackle the deadly ballads... "Death is not the End" by the minstrel from Duluth appropriately concludes an excellent work.

    @HJ: I don't even save that from nocturama. It's not a suite; it's a rather repetitive medley of the same song, quite artificial. Any random piece from grinderman 1 is worth much more. I wore this out in '98, but now enough is enough. I save Nick Cave up to and including The Good Son, there you go.

    Here the former King Ink was still producing works of dignified elegance, like this one, even though the demon had already been dormant for a few years... in short, personally, since "Your Funeral..." he hasn't thrilled me anymore, but the fact remains that at least until "the boatman's call" he maintained more than decent levels... then, ouch... that's where my troubles with Nicolino Caverna begin.

    Well, in the end, Cave's evolution has been quite natural; he has grown and calmed down. Fortunately, he has also maintained a certain inspiration, and that doesn't happen too often in cases like his 'getting soft'—after all, how many UGLY albums does Cave have, I mean really ugly? There are some, but they are definitely few. Psycho, you are right, but that track has always resonated with me; I'm not saying it's a masterpiece, just that all the other tracks from "Nocturama" I really didn’t like—this one gave me something. The first Grinderman isn't bad.

    To be honest, something is missing from Murder Ballads - keeping in mind that the albums by Cave that I would put on the podium are quite different, but it’s clear that we are in a particularly unique phase of his career, just as this album is unique. And it lacks THE murder ballad par excellence: Hey Joe. The only thing is, he had already recorded it 10 years earlier...

    In the end, I don't mind Nocturama, but aside from two tracks, it's an album of only ballads, and not even the best ones. It's quite monotonous. It could have been worse, though.
  • hjhhjij

    Point taken. And by the way, "Kicking Against the Pricks" is a wonderful album even though Cave had already proven to be an IMMENSE interpreter two years earlier ("Avalanche"...) so one might have expected the result a bit. However, in Kicking he brings out a series of interpretations of touching beauty, damn.

A fresco of hallucinatory magnificent surrealism. Sublime colors and shots. A great film that I will have to watch again, sooner or later.
