Music reviews of Door Door (Mute Back Catalogue)
Music Review: A few things you should know about 'Door, Door'
Rating: 5 Stars
I'm not a huge admirer of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, finding many of their songs overblown and affected (despite a few gems like 'Straight to You'). But Nick Cave's 1979 debut with his band The Boys Next Door is completely free of these faults, unaffected to the point of innocence, and also devoid of the angsty persona they would adopt for their next album 'Prayers on Fire' (after changing their name to The Birthday Party).
On 'Door, Door' very simple chord progressions act as scaffolding for melodies so catchy they will stay in your head for days, if not weeks. The album is a veritable template for anyone wishing to use music as a weapon (i.e. using it to get inside people's heads). Melody is far more important than instrumentation, but for the record the latter mainly consists of distorted guitar with cleanly muffled bass and amateurish drumming, plus the odd horn section or piano riff.
No idea what the lyrics are about, and it's not important, either. Good music trumps good lyrics any day. While the latter are a nice bonus, they're not nearly so important as the music itself. From a musical point of view, 'Door, Door' is a virtually perfect pop album...
You may also enjoy Time Struggle 1: The Wolves of Odin (Volume 1).
