Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - No More Shall We Part
No More Shall We Part Review
No More Shall We Part contains a greater wealth of musical invention and lyrical intelligence in its 68 minutes than most acts manage in an entire career. Cave is not merely in a different league from most of his peers; he's scarcely even playing the same game. No More sees a renewed emphasis on the virtuosity of Cave's longtime backing band, the Bad Seeds (Cave's last album, 1997's superb The Boatman's Call was a relatively sparse affair). The Seeds decorate the sprawling ballads on No More Shall We Part with aplomb, helped on several tracks by the crystalline harmonies of folk singers Kate and Anna McGarrigle. Cave's lyrical preoccupations remain constant--God, love (and the loss thereof), and death. As ever, Cave deals with these themes with great agility and imagination, and, as ever, he is funnier than he is generally given credit for. --Andrew Mueller

Possibly Nick Cave's most elaborate album and definitely his most intense one.

Everything here puts across extreme labor and passion from Cave-there's the length(over 65 minutes),the full orchestral sound achieved by the band,the care dispensed to the cover and booklet's graphic design and there's an extra amount of attention,from the already notoriously obsessive songwriter,to the lyrics and imagery here present.

One of the most impressive albums unleashed upon this world by Nick Cave&the Bad Seeds and the perfect companion for a dark,rainy night.

My Personal Favorite Seeds

I qualify this review by saying that I began with Nick Cave with the Birthday Party, and he still remains, 2 decades later, one of my absolute favorite people on the planet. He's a master of words and music. This CD is my personal favorite Seeds, if not piece of music. Definitely a desert island selection. When I first hear it, its perfect melding of beauty and tragedy blew me away. I find it to be extremely passionate and intense. Its "Let Love In" (another of my most prized Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds CDs) nearly 10 years later, when the Devil clawed through the door and settled comfortably into his bones. The music and lyrics are completely saturated with a "matured" angst- not the kind that needs to screamed but that will beat you over the head with its quiet strength. Its an amazing piece of work- I can't get over its greatness and genius. I have been running to buy Nick Cave's subsequent albums and, his newest release, Abbatoir and the Lyre is another piece of art- get it- none have yet surpassed this one for me. It just may be their crowning achievement. To see them perform these songs live was pure ecstasy. By the way, if you haven't read his book- And the Ass Saw the Angel- get it. He is one of the foremost poets of our times. It's a novel but the words are shocking in their beauty, suffused with tragedy ala Nick Cave. He's just amazing.
