Product Description

Amazon.com essential recording

After a career spent tearing down the world with horror and disgust, Nick Cave finally sounds ready to start rebuilding from scratch. He's begun to find a quiet grace, and perhaps even beauty, past all the darkness that's long consumed him. Amid the ashes of a world unable to exorcise its demons, Cave actually finds love; a strange, twisted, doomed love, perhaps--but love nevertheless.

On The Boatman's Call, Cave's latest collection, the singer-songwriter finds room for the personal, the spiritual, and even the hopeful in his grey psyche. With only the sparest accompaniment--often just a piano or organ, light percussion, and violin (care of Dirty Three's Warren Ellis)--Cave employs traditional folk song structure and simplicity to weave tales saddened less through tragedy as through emptiness. Songs like "Into My Arms" and "(Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For?" are among Cave's most self-assured and soulful to date. Stripped down and grown up--though still ghoulish and grave--Cave the storyteller has turned into something of a vampire Springsteen.

Ultimately, The Boatman's Call sounds like Cave's attempt to poison his cake and eat it too. For a record so resolute in its denial of divinity, The Boatman's Call's obsession with religious themes and imagery might seem contradictory if they hadn't come from someone like Cave, who fancies himself a fallen angel searching for a ladder back to heaven. Where Gothic meets cathedral, there resides, for better or worse, our dark saint Nick. --Roni Sarig

4.0 out of 5 stars 出来過ぎくん, 2003/3/22
By burchills - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
イギリスの辛口音楽雑誌でも星5つだったこの作品。よくできたアルバムです。多分、普通の人が聞いても「なんじゃこりゃー」とは思わないでしょう。でもそれが私にはネックでした。いつも「なんじゃこりゃー」と思わせてくれていたのがなくなってしまっているのが残念でした。ムード的にも楽観的なところが多く、ロックというか激しさが鳴りを潜めています。ポピュラーにはなれたかもしれないけど、残念でした。これは只単にマイナー、アウトサイダーでいて欲しいという古いファンの我がままですが、明るくなりすぎ(笑)。でもアルバムとしてとてもよくできたものであることは確かだと思います。

5.0 out of 5 stars ジャケも渋い。, 2005/1/28
 '97年発売の本作は、昔からのファンには余り好まれていないみたいですが、私には発売以来ずっと聴き続けてる最高のアルバムです。
 確かに、アコースティック楽器(ピアノやヴァイオリン、アコーディオン等)を生かした音作りで、以前のようなロック魂剥き出しの楽曲は皆無です。しかも、当時、バンド・メンバーの人数が今までで最高の7人編成になったのに、聴こえてくる音数も実に少ないのです。
 しかし、このアルバムには、男・Nick Caveの懐の深さ・暖かさを感じます。Nickの弾く美しいピアノをバックに、Nickの低音Vo.が淡々と愛を語る名曲1を筆頭に、聴く者の心に安らぎを与えてくれます。ただ単に淡々と・暗いのではなく、人生の酸いも甘いも噛み締めた男の、その先に見える光みたいな感じ、でしょうか。
 出来れば、それ以前(THE BIRTHDAY PARTY時代とか)の先入観なしに接して欲しい。良い意味で渋い、素晴らしいアルバムです。

4.0 out of 5 stars なりきりレーナード・コーエン, 2002/1/26
By man-kun - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
最初っからフリークぶりを発揮、ピアノとバックの最小限の演奏というより効果音的なオブリガードでぐいぐい引っぱり込む。曲もよく、彼らしい味もあるが、個人的にはまだ落ち着くのは早いというか、もったいぶった感じが背伸びに思えたのを覚えている。このころからロック色が薄れていった。しかし彼の凄さはこういった処以上にロックの持つ言葉にならない部分にあるのでは?またやってくれる事に期待。
