Nick Cave & Warren Ellis: Carnage
27 mar 21
In this collaborative album with Warren Ellis, Nick Cave partially abandons the depressing tones of Skeleton Tree and the dense, magical, and tragic "wall of sound" of Ghosteen in favor of a more dynamic sound, occasionally evoking the early days of his career and his records with Grinderman. It is a Cave who launches into epic political sermons (White Elephant, the masterpiece of the album in the opinion of the writer), provides simple reflections on the desolate life and the meaning of love in light of recent events (Albuquerque, Balcony Man, and the title track), and touches tragic and emotional chords with his stunning vocal interpretation (Hand of God, Shattered Ground, Old Time).

Although it is not groundbreaking, Carnage opens the doors to a new chapter in Cave's career, less bent under the weight of family losses and more inclined to tackle current and universal themes.

This album has an incredible melodic sophistication (at times it could even be defined as pop) that reflects Nick Cave of that period: it is no longer an album on the brink of the abyss like "Tender Prey," but rather the album that marks the achievement of a balance.

A very introspective album, unlike what "Sledgehammer" and "Big Time" might suggest. It’s just him, the production is his, and on the cover, he appears without makeup or styling against a white background, with the album title, "So," an interjection in Gabriel's conversations, something that finally allows us to fully delve into his depths. Breathing in Gabriel's emotions in this album will surely give you goosebumps...

A curious album that I haven't quite managed to understand fully yet, but perhaps it's simply Fripp's production that makes it more mysterious. The songs I like the most are "Indigo" and "Flotsam And Jetsam"; the rest of the album contains some very good songs (especially the first ones) and others that I find a bit superfluous...

    Syd Barrett and you think Waters and the others didn’t? No offense, did you just come down from Puffland? Well, Barrett already had problems on his own and then he started to exaggerate, but as for getting high on acids and various substances, eh eh, I bet even Mason's drumsticks got into it. But it’s obvious. And also of little importance (well, little, "A Saucerful of Secrets" and the like might not have been quite the same...)

    I truly hope that the Floyd were, are, and will be known primarily for their music; however, the fact remains that you seem like you stepped out of Pufflandia, which is reassuring—come on, you're 16 :) "they only used drugs occasionally and mainly from '68 to '71." But did Waters or Mason tell you that?
  • bonny99
    2 jul 15
    "If you mean Pink Floyd took drugs -- you're wrong. There is no way that I could play music and take any kind of drug at the same time." This is what Waters says, then I don't know, did I already tell you?

    A mediocre album doesn't really exist. I believe it's one of the best pop albums ever written if only I didn't personally find it a bit too polished... But great sounds, great minds, great songs come on. These are absolutely not the Pink Floyd I love the most, but to say that this album is mediocre sounds excessively biased to me in the opposite direction (post-Barrettian) :-)
  • luludia

    it's not snobbery, nor Barrettian bias, it's simply an album I don't like... I can't do anything about it...
  • hjhhjij

    One thing is that, another is to label it as "mediocre," meaning ugly and trivial songs, with little care in songwriting and sound... Not liking it simply is a different matter altogether.
  • luludia
    22 jan 16
    But there is too much care... as for the lyrics, they are also very much as they should be, there isn't a single true spark that surprises, something really genius, poetic... then, of course, the barrettian side of me might bias my judgment... that it's an epoch-making record and very, very influential (and, above all, very, very sold) is undeniable...
  • hjhhjij
    22 jan 16
    But I know, I agree, it’s all so perfectly done that I’ve never managed to feel truly moved; there’s that "something" missing that would make it special to me. However, to call it mediocre is a completely different story—there’s like the entire Salerno Reggio-Calabria in between.
  • luludia
    22 jan 16
    it's just that that kind of perfection is mediocrity to me, especially if it comes from the same people (and I'm intentionally leaving out Barrett because with Barrett they were another group) who recorded "Saucefurl" and "Ummagumma"...
  • Buzzin' Fly

    At first, they were the fruit of genius, then they were wrapped in an aura of magic; with this album, they’ve become just another big musical like so many that I don't like. Until we reach The Wall, which gets worse the older it gets.

    Dear De... (or dear Marga... let me know which one you prefer) I mostly agree; for Ummagumma, More, and Obscured, I wouldn't give a 5 but rather a nearly 4, and for The Wall, I would give it 4.5. But why not, I would also give The Final Cut a 4, my album for when I can't fall asleep. The last two, I don't know, I definitely wouldn't discard The Division Bell, the other one I would.

    14 aug 14
    @Frenky: I grew up with the music of Pink Floyd. I discovered The Wall in 1980, when I was 13, along with Making Movies by Dire Straits; I was introduced to the world of rock by these two immense and essential bands, and I absolutely cannot give less than five stars to the Pink Floyd discography up to at least The Wall. I've never loved The Final Cut, mainly due to the absence, except in sporadic moments, of David's monumental guitar sound. I rarely listen to the last two albums recorded without Waters, even though they are decent albums... Now in October, this semi-new album is coming out, but I don't expect much from it, finding such operations out of place after so many years. If you want, call me Lorenzo, just for once "death" to nicknames.

    "Some parts" of the Suite? That track induces a concentrated burst of sexual orgasms from start to finish. Other killer tracks are Summer 68' and Alan's psychedelic breakfast, while the other two pieces are 4-star material. So, an album like this deserves 5 stars.

    Beautiful vinyl. Even though Gilmour and others said it was "shit". Too much Geesin, Waters said. Despite the presence in the studio of a very young Alan Parsons (overwhelmed, it seems, precisely by Geesin), the sound didn't please the four Floyd. Who cares. I love it.

    More than anything, David was annoyed by having little space in the suite as a guitarist. But he - and especially Roger - over the years has made some quite astonishing statements. I reiterate, for me he is one of my favorites. And what if I told you that I prefer him (along with Meddle, for example) to TDSOTM or WYWH?
  • FrenkyWestSide
    14 aug 14
    If I had to choose, I wouldn’t be surprised. On the Dark Side, I definitely prefer both Atom and Meddle because I like everything in that album, but the only track that drives me crazy to the levels of One Of These Days is Brain Damage. As for Shine On You, it’s hard to decide if it’s on the same level as Atom Suite and Echoes considering that track was also supposed to be a 20-minute suite or more, but among the three, I would place it last.
  • madcat
    14 aug 14
    I, on the other hand, will continue to say that the best Pink Floyd albums are those of Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall (and also Dark Side of the Moon, even if I find it inferior to the first three mentioned). Atom, Meddle are albums that I really like, but I often find them a bit heavy and (yes, indeed) a little boring, especially in the suites (Shine On You Crazy Diamond is, for me, the greatest suite they have ever made, captivating and emotional from start to finish, no doubt about it).
