NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS: THE GOOD SON (Ltd.DX.Ed.UK Import)(Mute2015)
Limited Deluxe Edition UK Import.
*Includes printed inner sleeve & download code w/bonus tracks.
At the time of it's release, there were more than a few comments that Cave had somehow softened or sold out, given how he was more intent on exploring his dark, cabaret pop stylings than his thrashy, explosive side.
This not only ignored the constant examples of such quieter material all the way back to from Her to Eternity, but Cave's own constant threads of lyrical darkness, whether in terms of romance or something all the more distressing.
This said, the softly crooning group vocals and sweet strings on the opening "Foi Na Cruz" certainly would catch some off guard. The title track itself captured the overall mood of the album, a retelling of the Bible's prodigal son story from the other son, the one who stayed at home and did what he was meant to do.

1 Foi Na Cruz
2 the Good Son
3 Sorrow's Child
4 the Weeping Song
