This seventeen-track masterpiece, released on September 20, 2004, under Mute Records, is a testament to the band's enduring prowess and Nick Cave's unparalleled storytelling.

The album is a rich tapestry of alternative rock, blending bluesy undertones with booming bass lines and angry, passionate vocals.

    Alright, I'll just come out and say it... Not impressed with the quality of this release... It's like they just slapped some mp3's onto this vinyl. Has anyone else picked up on that?
