"Definitely Nick Cave's best album. Chock full of brilliant songs. Somewhat inconsistent as most double albums are - would have made a killer single album. Here's my imaginary track-listing:
1) Nature Boy
2) There She Goes
3) Abattoir Blues
4) Let the Bells Ring
5) Messiah Ward
6) Breathless
7) Easy Money
8) Supernaturally
9) Carry Me
10) O Children"

"Along with, the boatman's call, abattoir blues/lyre of Orpheus, is my favourite Nick Cave album. In a way it's his gospel rock album. The first disc(abattoir), is the more upbeat of the two with, cannibal's hymn, there she goes, my beautiful world, and, nature boy, the best. Off the mellower second disc, breathless, easy money, and, o Childern, are all excellent. There's nothing weak here, it's an absolutely stunning record from one of the best songwriters of the last thirty or so years. A masterpiece."

"I went to bed last night and my moral code got jammed I woke up this morning with a Frappucino in my hand" and only Nick Cave could sing "there she goes my beautiful world" and it's somehow uplifting. something for everyone here and still cogent in total, a great album by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds
