Their best ever album? Nick Cave is one of rock music's greatest lyricists.

End of phase one of their career: feverish, intense, demonic even. It riskily opens with "The Mercy Seat" and, miraculously, the next nine tracks don't disappoint.

Their most "complete" album, bookended by two completely different versions of the terrific "Do you love me?".

A double masterpiece of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' artistry. Also the first one without Blixa Bargeld.

The one before "Tender Prey" (also recorded in Berlin). Almost as fantastic. This is clearly a work in two parts: "Your funeral" is rather subdued, "My trial" is more... manic.

If you're sensitive to dark humor, this one is a treat. An exceptionnally high body count.

A wintry meditation on relationships and mortality... I think. Anyway, God-or the Muse- is in the house.

Not catchy but definitely worth exploring. There's something about the flow of the songs (appropriate given the "watery" theme) that is just so right.

My favorite covers album ever. Almost every song here runs rings around the originals. No small feat.
