Not excellent by Cave's standards, but there's "Breathless".

And O Children.
Overall, it's still an excellent album. Bit too long, but I guess most double albums are anyway. I just don't typically go back to it (as a whole) as much as Cave's other work.

Interesting. I actually think this is one of his best.

Definitely one of my favourite Nick Cave albums, not the best but on a good day could easily be top 5.

I feel like I underappreciate this one so far. As mentioned before, "Breathless" and "O Children" are great tracks. I'm also very fond of "Nature Boy" and "There She Goes My Beautiful World." I just can't seem to attach myself to the overall theme like I have on a lot of the others, although I feel like musically it could be his biggest accomplishment. I'm a huge Cave fan though, so I still give the album 4.75 stars (same as The Good Son, The Boatman's Call, Push the Sky Away and Tender Prey [the one I'm most likely considering bumping up to 5 stars]; below From Her to Eternity, Let Love In, and No More Shall We Part).
