Great list! Personally, i'd put "Kicking against the pricks" and "your funeral my trial" a little bit higher (yes, kickins against the pricks is a "covers" record, but has some great songs like "muddy water"). Another thing that's interesting: i never cared much for "the boatman's call" - when it came out, i really hated it, i thought it was very mellow and boring. I've come to like it more, but i don't think is one of their best albums. In an interview, Mick Harvey told that Nick Cave wanted a certain mood for the record and insisted not to include the "rockier" songs recorded for the album sessions. That's a shame. If you drop some of the weaker songs (like "green eyes" or "there is a kingdom") and replace them with some great songs recorded on the same sessions ("come into my sleep" and "babe, i got you bad") you'd have a much more balanced record. Shame on you, Nick Cave :)
I have sorceress dead last too but it has solely to do with the overly muddy/bassy production. I really think it would be more well received if the production wasn’t the worst. Btw you should try listening to watershed and heritage back to back with headphones on and it will make heritage 1000x better. Listen to pale communion after that and it all might finally click like it did for me after 13 years. Trust me, I gave up on opeth after heritage too but now heritage and pale communion are some of my favorites. Heritage especially is definitely a headphones album though, the dynamics and atmosphere are unparalleled imo.
Yeah, I can see that. Even though I was a bit harsh on some of these records, they're not terrible or anything. I liked the atmosphere of Heritage, some interesting songs like Famine, Folklore and Haxprocess.

Great video! I enjoyed your ranking even though we have some differences in ours. My friend and I made a video on this a couple years ago and I have the same least and most favourite album as you do but our rankings in between are a bit different: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6da3wUFlx5A.htmlsi=wrLK_AIP4zDdmAi8. Hope you enjoy it!
Another solid list. You have about 8 albums I would consider for my top 25. Dry, Automatic and Dirty would be contenders for my top 10. I'll have to do a deeper dive into Norwegian death metal, and that was the only album on your list that I didn't listen to.
10) Diva - Annie Lennox 09) The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion - The Black Crowes 08) Check Your Head - Beastie Boys 07) Copper Blue - Sugar 06) Red Heaven - Throwing Muses 05) Black Eyed Man - Cowboy Junkies 04) Uh-Oh - David Byrne 03) Core - Stone Temple Pilots 02) Honey's Dead - The Jesus and Mary Chain 01) Wish - The Cure Another list heavy on nostalgia. Love that we both have Wish at number 1! Angel Dust, Little Earthquakes, Dirt and Bone Machine should really be here too. Love all of those! Incredible year!!!
Cool list, enjoying this series a lot so far! I think my top 5 of the year would be: Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes, Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted, The Cure - Wish, Sugar - Copper Blue and The Lemonheads - It's a Shame About Ray. Although Dirt might sneak in their too, I haven't listened in a long time but it's definitely top 10.
@@BlackSailPass_GuitarCovers I think that musicianship is underrated. Some great twin guitar work on both of those records. And I do think that the bass work by Johan De Farfalla is underrated as well.
1991 was a really important year for me musically. You have a solid list. I would have to do a deep dive to complie my list, but you have about 8 albums that would be in contention for my top 25. Also Tribe would be in my top 5. Nevermind would be #1, it was a musical gateway drug for me. Swans would be contender for top 5 and definitely top 10.
Incredible year! 10) Use Your Illusion I - Guns N' Roses 09) Out of Time - R.E.M. 08) Coming Down - Daniel Ash 07) Real Life - Simple Minds 06) Ten - Pearl Jam 05) The Real Ramona - Throwing Muses 04) Loveless - My Bloody Valentine 03) Achtung Baby - U2 02) Nevermind - Nirvana 01) Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers
@@179rich nice one rich. This makes me want to do a 91 list. I think my number one would be the same. And there is no way RHCP crack my top 25 in any other year.
Look forward to seeing all your picks for each year of the 90s! 1990 is an interesting year that I am sure could use a deeper dive for me. Cocteau Twins, Judas Priest, Sonic Youth and Pixies would make my list.
Excellent list! I'll have to listen to that Entombed album, and explore Swedish death metal. Would have to do a deeper dive to come up with a top 10, but both Public Enemy and Depeche Mode are 5 star albums for me, and most likely in my top 5. I also really enjoyed the albums by The Pixies, Cocteau Twins, Alice In Chains, Sonic Youth and Megadeth. A couple of those are in contention for my top 10, and they all would most likely be in my top 25. I do know that my number one album would be I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got by Sinead O'Connor.
Here's what I came up with : TOP 10 OF 1990 - 10) Manic Nirvana - Robert Plant 09) Wrong Way Up - Brian Eno/John Cale 08) Goodbye Jumbo - World Party 07) Violator - Depeche Mode 06) Ghost of a Dog - Edie Brickell & New Bohemians 05) Heaven or Las Vegas - Cocteau Twins 04) I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got - Sinead O'Connor 03) Ritual de lo Habitual - Jane's Addiction 02) Pod - The Breeders 01) Eye - Robyn Hitchcock

My ranking for what it's worth. I have a lot of history with Nick and have seen hime live more than any other artist. The first time I saw the Bad Seeds was around the release of Henry's Dream. That album used to be a lot higher on my list but has dropped quite a bit. It doesn't matter which order I put the albums rated 4 upwards, I can swap them around depending on the day. Seeing him for the Carnage tour lifted my opinion of Ghosteen quite a lot even if some of the synth pads can be a bit questionable on the album. the material is much better live. I think Murder Ballads is a bit overrated due to the limitations of the theme but still great. I'm probably the only person who doesn't like the song Henry Lee very much. No more shall we part is a bit long but there are so many great songs on it. Jangling Jack does kill the mood of LLI for me and doesn't belong on the record - a B side at best - hence it's lower than usual placing. I have a strong sentimental liking for The Good Son as it I came in aroung the release of Tender Prey and these were exiting times for me musically. The Good Son was a surprising softening of the Band's approach but welcome nonetheless. Nocturama (2003)(2.5) Kicking Against the Pricks (1986)(3) Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! (2008)(3.5) From Her to Eternity (1984)(4) Your Funeral... My Trial (1986)(4) Henry's Dream (1992)(4) Murder Ballads (1996)(4) The Firstborn Is Dead (1985)(4) Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus (2004)(4.5) The Good Son (1990)(4.5) Let Love In (1994)(4.5) Tender Prey (1988)(4.5) The Boatman's Call (1997)(4.5) Ghosteen (2019) (4.5) No More Shall We Part (2001) (4.5) Skeleton Tree (2016)(5) Push the Sky Away (2013)(5) Your ranking is well considered even though it is quite different to mine as it stands today.
@@riffreverence thanks. I enjoyed your Swans video too but have not heard one or two so could not make a list. I would probably put Leaving Meaning and The Beggar a lot higher but agree with your top 5 more or less.
@@johnwilliams4658 thanks, man. I got to appreciate those two albums a lot more now. I think I had leaving meaning at 3.5 and Beggar at 4, which is still great.
