    Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Push the Sky Away

    I was at that show and it was astonishing. Basing a concert around the Ghosteen album was very brave. That album is as dark as fcuk and translating to a live setting like he and Warren did was incredible. Very few artists can do this. Throw in songs from his back catalogue and it’s just...

    New Album Discussion 10 - Songs of Sir, this is a Wendy's, durr

    The fact we have posts listing songs that folks prefer to the originals is really good. I like the lyric changes too. It reinforces that nothing was sacred when recording these songs. I still haven’t got through all of it as I keep putting it on when I go to bed. But it’s all very positive...

    Listening to it now. Might struggle to get through it all in one go. Bad is stunning. Just stunning.

    Do we know for sure that Adam and Larry, in particular Larry, actually played on this?

    Play with only 3 members? Yep they’ve got you covered.

    A good test for these songs would be to imagine these were new songs and not reworkings. BD is the only one that is up to scratch. These rest are meh.

    Well I’m almost done. 3 songs in and I have practically zero interest in hearing any additional SOS songs. Bono croaking over musical nothingness doesn’t do it for me. Presumably these are 3 of the better songs. Agree with the earlier sentiment that this should have been tightly linked to...

    Sans Larry ?

    They may as well put Terry Lawless on stage now.

    New Album Discussion 9 - Larry needs new arms, ba rum pa pum pum

    WOWY is boring. Musically bereft and Bono’s vocals are all over the place. It’s exactly what I feared these songs would be.

    The lower register is pretty much all he has these days.

    Songs of Songs, Books & Fat Puns - New Album Discussion #8

    Because the Vegas shows wouldn’t be part of a regular tour. Because the Vegas shows would be timed to coincide with the opening of the venue. They are unique and moment in time shows. Because of that you can spin a story around why it’s “ok” for a band member not to be there. It would be...

    Almost Finished with U2

    Yes but you can say that about every song on the album. Every song sounds sterile, like the life has been squeezed out of them.

    Songs of _________________; New album discussion #7

    Will be disappointed if Drowning Man isn’t on SOS. Even thought it’d be a no-brainer chapter title in the book. Plus IIRC it was rehearsed for possible inclusion in one of the recent tours.
