Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Wild God ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
At the risk of getting my music nerd license revoked, I’m gonna come clean… I’ve never listened to Nick Cave. I mean, I know who he is and what he represents. I appreciate him. But I’ve never sought out any of his work. But let me tell ya, this album has changed that.
This album is sonically and lyrically beautiful. The theme of joy in the face of grief is very moving, and you can tell he means it after losing a second son in less than a decade. This is a devastatingly personal album. And it’s all set to this almost Church-like music. It really is a sound to behold.
This is one of those albums that just feels good to listen to. It’s very cathartic. This album has definitely made me a Nick Cave convert, and I will be seeking out more by him.
Favorite song: “Conversion”
