I am jumping shamelessly on the bandwagon. The new album Ghosteen by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds is spectacular. And to say that I did not expect to feel that way is an understatement. I have never been a massive fan. My problem was that he was one of those artists everybody said they loved, but actually did not listen to. Kind of like a musical version of Salman Rushdie. But now here we are, 17 albums later, and Nick has delivered a perfect, ambient pop record that is a strong contender for Album of the Year.
