His voice is wonderful and his songwriting is not just good, it makes you able to become a part of the music, it' s like a 45' adventure. He' s definitely the best songwriter I' ve ever listened to.

There are certainly songs on other albums I like better than most of the songs on this album, but this is my favorite Nick Cave record by far. And Lucy. Oh, Lucy. So beautiful.

Nick Cave starts to become the mature song writer he is today. This is a really good album.

'The Good Son' is a truelly magnificent work of art whose sorrowful, spiritually meditative and existential aesthetic is drenched in visionary images that are at the same time rescued by a sense of redemption and salvation that was lacking in his previous works. The songs on the album are all beautifully crafted, sculpted and timeless visions which recall a combination of Blake, Whitman and Faulkner allied to Jim Morrison, Tom Waits and Bob Dylan.

The good son is a beautiful album of traditional music. Cave’s high-energy rebellious parables astonish throughout. The band is tight, performing tender renditions tinged with experimentalism.
