Music reviews of Let Love In
Music Review: Five Stars For A Great Release
Rating: 5 Stars
I find it difficult to pick a favorite of Nick Cave's work, but this is close. I have followed him (not physically! Okay, only once) since The Birthday Party. I worked for a subsidiary of his label when "The Good Son" was released, and a lot of Birthday Party fans didn't care for it, even though the ingrates got an advance release copy. But Nick Cave has continued to move on with each CD, and if fans of "Junkyard" aren't satisfied, I would have to say they are only hurting themselves. Mr. Cave's songwriting ability is nothing short of genius; he's in my Top 5 list of underappreciated songwriters, along with Andy Prieboy. "I Let Love In" not only showcases his abilities, it does so in a way that keeps the listener going and guessing from song to song. Of course the opening track grabs right away, but segues into "Nobody's Baby Now" in a way that I thought was a little shaky at first, but appreciate now. This CD was so good, so much the work of a truly gifted artist, that when his publicist wanted to me to do an interview (yes, label to journalist, it could have ruined me but I quit) I turned the chance down. That is how good he is- he scares me. Another reviwer had a negative reaction to "Janglin' Jack" and it wasn't my favorite, either, but I grew to appreciate it. There's a reason it's called "Janglin"- the music and the lyrics are meant to convey "Janglin". I don't normally try to pick favorites with Nick Cave songs, but I must say, "Loverman" is brilliant and haunting. Or brilliantly haunting, whatever. If you like Nick Cave and don't own it, buy it. If you appreciate talented songwriting, buy it. And if you're an old Birthday Party fan...give it a shot.
Description of Let Love In
Ten or so albums into their careers, if not sooner, artists tend to subside into laziness, self-parody, or fruitless second-guessing of the musical climate. It is entirely in keeping with Cave's willful obstinate character that at roughly that point he started making his very best work. Let Love In is a masterpiece. It sounds both like a summation of everything Cave and his peerless band the Bad Seeds have ever done well--string-laden ballads; gothic blues; brooding, gospel-tinged rock & roll--and is a cohesive collection in its own right. "Do You Love Me?" might even be the single best thing Cave and the Bad Seeds have ever come up with: here he's passionate, literate, and funny; they are muscular, sensitive, and menacing. --Andrew MuellerGeneral CDs
