Reviews
Ranked #10 in Nme's List of the `Top 50 Albums of 1994.', "...Hey, who says there are no hopeless romantics left?...Like Iggy Pop and Tom Waits, Cave has a voice that was meant to provoke, irritate and generally give you the creeps--a character voice...., 4 stars out of 5 -- "'I Let Love In,' 'Red Right Hand,' and 'Loverman' capture the speed-fuelled intensity of the sessions, the songs dripping with a danger, obsession and narcissism...", 3 1/2 Stars - Good Plus - "...Cave is both singing with maturity and ranting and raving like the lunatic he often becomes in performance....works the balance between prudence and wild man fervor...", "...The sound of Cave's voice and melodies, the gloomy subject matter, and the VU-like atmosphere of the Bad Seeds' instrumental work are completely predictable on each new album, but the intriguing twists and turns are not...", "An emotional epitaph to Cave's Brazilian sojourn with Viviane Carneiro....by far the rowdiest Bad Seeds album..."
