Watergirl Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Bought the new album today. Really beautiful. 2019 is such a great year for new music. Best of the 2010s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Music Girl Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 It's so fucking beautiful. Really OD'd on it this week now I finally have my CD. Going in again shortly. Glad I got tickets for the gig next year despite how much they cost! I do wonder how it will translate live though. I can see it mixing in with some stuff from Skeleton Tree and PTSA but not the older more raucous stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted November 15, 2019 Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 I fucking love Nick Cave. I've advocated for him headlining the pyramid for years and his last Manchester arena show is potentially my favourite gig I've been to (I average around 30 a year). Skeleton Tree might be in my top 3 Nick Cave albums. I can't connect to this one at all though, I dunno what it is. PTSA took me ages to get into so maybe I just need to be patient, he did say in his conversation I went to that he loves that every album he released his fans have to question whether they're still Nick Cave fans, so maybe I just have to sit this one out. I don't dislike it though, I'm just not getting the same as everyone else. Just a bit meh currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a much more ephemeral, immersive odd listening experience. But I do love it - definitely not in the same way as those last two, which on balance I do prefer. I'd put both those albums in my top 5 Cave albums. But I love as always that they've done something different once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if he's done this before but I've been thinking it could work best with an interval - Ghosteen in full and then a break before some other material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a criticism of your point, just a pedantic observation. 3 minutes ago, Earth_pig said: It would be cool but if it was at Glastonbury he would surely lose alot of casual fans. I'd agree. I like it but it's not my favourite. Nick will obviously promote it, as it means a lot to him, but the band still would perform other songs, especially those which are in each set. To sit in a field with talkers and card players (as I saw at the Pyramid) isn't going to be the best way to hear Ghosteen or the band for non-Nick obsessives. Nick, if you're reading this, bring it to the Brudenell live, and say hi to Warren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdm22 Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 At £80+ for standing or half decent seats i'm not surprised it's not selling that quickly. It certainly put me off seeing him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still tempted to get a ticket as I know it’ll be a great show, but that price hike is annoying, and I’m tempted to just hold out for him hopefully being at Glastonbury.

henry bear Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Embarrassed by the fact that my local arena, Cardiff Motorpoint, still has tickets left for Nick Cave, yet the bloody Kaiser Chiefs have sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cave is very limited in his music, he doesn’t have enough ooooOOOOOOH’s in his songs, that’s the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilgamesh69 Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Just saw this. Wonder if there's any chance of Nick showing up? It's on 12th Feb. "Original members of Howard’s bands and other key collaborators from throughout his 34-year career come together for an electrifying evening."
