Nick Cave: Murder Ballads

The first album I'm going to endorse, is Murder Ballads by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Murder Ballads is an excellent album. As said this album is from Nick Cave who could very well be the sexiest man alive.


Murder Ballads is probably one of his better known albums. It is a concept album, and as the name alludes, it is an album about murder. Everysingle song is about some kind of messed up, chilling, traumatizing murder and it is brilliant.


However if murder is not your thing, probably steer away from this album, as the death count at the end of 10 songs reaches 64.


But the album is so much more than just senseless murder and being creepy for the sake of being creepy. The lyrical genius of Nick Cave coupled with his sinister voice make this one of the more intense albums I've listened to.


Now you may be thinking that you've heard of this album before, and you probably have as it was his most commercially successful album. Nick Cave was even nominated as best male artist by MTV but because Nick Cave is such a badass he had them withdraw the request.



Nick Cave even did what I would consider impossible, he made Kylie Minogue...good.

He sings a duet with her, called Where the Wild Roses Grow and it is excellent, probably one of my favourite of two songs on the album.

The video is pretty good as well, and if you like this try to look up O'Malley's Bar it's from the same album and honestly when I heard it it sent chills up my spine definetly worth checking out.
I hope you enjoy it, and if you do decide to get the album I would be wary with using torrents.

I mean, I use them all the time, I'm not trying to be preachy or anything. But considering the content of Nick Cave's album are you sure you want to rip this guy off?
