Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds – Skeleton Tree

Skeleton Tree is meant to be a record for everyone, a naked, honest depiction of true grief in musical form.
As Nick Cave’s latest triumph, this stands as possibly his greatest achievement, as much a sorrowful exploration as a loving send-off not only for his fans but, more importantly, for himself.
Cave and the Bad Seeds have been responsible for a lot of great albums, but nothing they’ve ever released matches Skeleton Tree.
Nick Cave is stripped to the bone and robbed of a future.
This album sounds like grief in its purest musical form.
Behind the heartbreak is some of the best song writing of this year.
Skeleton Tree is a record for those who are unable to fully express their grief.
An intense album, but musically stunning, Skeleton Key might provide a healing to some.
