Nick Cave is a pretty intense guy. And the music he makes is generally pretty dark stuff…not for the light hearted. The Good Son, his sixth album with The Bad Seeds, is actually what Cave sounds like when he’s almost happy. Almost. His albums had grown darker and darker, almost to the point of maybe this guy needs an intervention. But, as the 80’s were ending, he fell in love and went through rehab. The result is The Good Son, an album that finds Cave driving a bit of a safer distance from the edge of that cliff. He’s still addressing religion a lot here, and there are some really fine moments. But the truth about Cave and The Seeds is this: they are at their best when things get dark. Their best work is when things sound dangerous. And, on The Good Son, there just aren’t those moments where he scares you. In other words…the music on this album is dark. It really just is not dark enough.
The best track here is “Lament”. This is the song on the album that sounds the most…harrowing. It’s also the best written track here, and would have probably been a much better choice for a single than the two that WERE singles, “The Weeping Song” and “The Ship Song” (the tracks with those “song” titles were simply never changed from their working titles). The band has since gone on to better successes, particularly with the albums Murder Ballads and The Boatman’s Call, and they have released 16 studio albums to date. The Good Son has received a lot of praise over the years, but for me, it never rises above being average at best, and it never reaches that intensity level that makes Cave’s work so engaging and interesting. Still, this album is worth hearing (as is everything he has done). Who knows…this may click for you and move you more than it has me. [First added to this chart: 10/13/2025]
