I live in a town called Millhaven
And it's small and it's mean and it's cold

Song of Joy is probably my favourite here, but the cover of Death Is Not The End is almost perfect. O'Malley's Bar, Stagger Lee... Some of his best storytelling ever. And of course, the 2 (slightly overrated but still fantastic) hits.

While there are some jaw-dropping moments here and some of Cave’s best storytelling, it’s never been my favorite Bad Seeds record.

I do think it’s stands as an absolutely iconic package of songs conceptually/thematically, but a few of the tracks run long for me, and as LedZep mentioned, I find the 2 hits a bit overrated.
