Product Description

From Amazon.com

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Cave carves a new path, Feb 23 2003

By

Melissa (Wilsonville, AL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: No More Shall We Part (Audio CD)

This is the first Nick Cave album I have bought in a few years. His style changes so much from album to album that you can never know what to expect upon opening a new CD. Admittedly, there have been a couple that I did not really care for. But this album seems to be the next incarnation of Cave's musical life. And if this is where he is going with his music, I'll happily follow.

This album is full of heartache and despair tempered with the subtlety of Cave's vocals. The tone of the songs is carried through their tumultuous music. He struggles with love and infidelity in "Sweetheart Come" and "The Sorrowful Wife". He also takes the plunge into religion and the existence/nonexistence of God in "God is in the House" and "Oh my Lord." These are topics found often in Cave's catalog of songs. This is the kind of album you find yourself searching for at two in the morning during a thunderstorm. Even at two in the afternoon, you will find yourself transported to that place.

This review is from: No More Shall We Part (Audio CD)

I listened to a while ago "Where the Wild Roses Grow" when my friend had visited me. She claimed she adored Nick Cave's voice, and I hissed and said that he was dull and lacked any spark. Oh, but I was wrong. This week was my friends birthday. I went out with another friend of mine to purchase this album for her, since she claimed she loved his voice so much. I brought the CD home and began to listen to it -- I fell in love and kept it for myself. I decided to get her something of heavy metal that she would probably much prefer. THAT is how much I love this album -- and now, I am hooked on Nick Cave. His songs grow on you, and you can't fight the urge to have it in your CD player all the time on those long and dreary days.

"As I Sat Sadly By Her Side" is my favourite song, it's beautifully written and will let your thoughts drift along a country road in your mind. "We Came Along This Road" is also a wonderful song to listen to, and is also another favourite of mine. The rest is also wonderful. However, different songs evoke different feelings in different people.

If you're looking for songs that grown on you, and everytime you put them on you feel as though you are hearing it for the first time -- then this is the album for you.

This review is from: No More Shall We Part (Audio CD)

I've not much to say about this album except that this may well be the culmination of Nick Cave's career. Far more serious and tame than Bad Seeds' earlier outings, "No More Shall We Part" is perhaps the most challenging album for "hardcore" fans, but I find that the maturation of sound and lyrics has captured the band's infinite potential, and then some.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cave's "Blood on the Tracks"
This is a great album. The intelligence of the lyrics alone put this up there with Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks," but it's more personal, and thus more immediate than even that... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest CD on Earth
The songs flow with a story of his slow descent into madness, and it's lyrics are so well written they're hard to get out of your head. Read more
