I've heard this one many times over the years. It has some good moments and some not so good. Her voice is not great and the musicianship is average, but there are definitely some sharp lyrics.

World Party was pretty solid, but otherwise this sounds like a top notch band at an Irish bar. Fun, but not remarkable.

Can't be in a bad mood listening to this.

Great sound. I got this album the day after Ozzy died - spooky!

I love this one. Hits just right on a Sunday morning with a cup of coffee and some sunshine.

I wasn't feeling this one. Seems very dated now.

I was familiar with the singles, but had never listened to the full album. Pretty great vibe throughout. Excellent 80s synth pop.

Pretty fun album. The lead singer's voice isn't the best for this material, but it is hard not to enjoy this.

Got going after the first few generic tracks. It’s hard for me to get in the right mood for EDM… this is meant for a club, not my house at 8am.

I struggle with a full album of Nick’s voice. A track or two is fine, but it wears on me after a while.

Tough one. The early tracks with 80s synth were not a good choice. There’s no really memorable single on this album either. That said, I like Bonnie’s voice, and the final track ‘The Road’s My Middle Name’ finally seems to get it right. Chalk this one up to the sins of late 80s production style, I guess.

Skits and interludes on otherwise good albums need to end.

I definitely didn't understand this one. She has huge vocal range, but the songwriting is all over the place. It was hard to ever find the groove of any of these tracks.

This was terrible when new and hasn't aged well.

I'd give this a 3.5 if I could. Not bad at all, but not really my taste.

As poetry, I guess this would be OK. As music, not so much. The guy can't sing and the music is about as basic as it gets.

OK, not great.

Weird timing that I saw Wu-Tang live on Saturday night, then got this album on Monday. Still classic.

Couldn’t figure this one out. Not a huge Nick Cave fan though either.

Man, definitely potential here, but it is tough to ever really get into it with all the whispering and slow burn. Nosferatu was a solid track. If they'd stuck closer to that formula, this would probably be an album we would have all heard of, instead of an obscurity.
