    A truly challenging listen but it will blow your mind when it clicks!
  

*by Y***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 21, 2018*

A ton of people when looking into Nick Cave's musical efforts, will eventually land here. Though fair warning, this is extreme, uncomfortable music dripping with schizophrenia. Crazier and far less accessible than any of The Bad Seeds material. In fact, you can compare Nick Cave's Bad Seeds career with Iggy Pop's solo career,  and both of them have never been able to top what they did with their first band.The Birthday Party is what happens when the Stooges self cannibalize after they go through an exorcism. It is the forsaken offspring of Pere Ubu, and Public Image Ltd. with a sprinkle of rock-a-billy, drunk blues, and loose jazz. Don't be fooled with the way these guys dress or by the "post-punk" label. These guys are much dirtier, filthier, and a helluva lot more demented than any of those bands in the genre. The only band with the label of "Post Punk" that is as ferocious as these guys are the Pop Group. (Who the Birthday Party took great influence from...)Don't come in here looking for "The Boatman's Call." That is a Nick Cave who has left the "Mutiny in Heaven" and is a loving father and a dedicated husband. THIS is the Nick Cave who has a chemical diet, stays up all night writing while smoking countless cigarettes, and spends his live performances banging his head on the edge of a drum and smacking people in the front row with a microphone stand screaming, "EXPRESS YOURSELF!!!"Even though Nick Cave would be the obvious thing to focus on, he would be nothing if it wasn't for the band backing him.Rowland Howard and Mick Harvey (interchangable lead and rhythm guitarists) provide the ear piercing "shroom cloud" of sounds that are the equivalent of getting stung by bees and getting euphoric by it. It sounds random, but it's calculated. The entire band is calculated.Phil Calvert (the drummer) bangs on the drums like as if he has having a nervous breakdown. It sounds more like gunshots than anything else. He provides the whole loose, yet captivating jazz influence in.And last but not least, Tracy Pew. (The sex cowboy/bassist) He provides the only stability/structure in this entire album. Without Tracy, this would sound like some jazz session of disemboweling screams and metallic guitar notes. Tracy gives the BP groove, style and its sexual prowess.If you are interested in the crazier, wild, bloodshot-eyed, OUT-THERE music, then get this as soon as possible! It is like a sawed off shotgun blast to the brain at point blank!This is gutsy music at its most uncompromising nature.Easily, one of the best albums I've ever heard and already one of my favorites!

    solid album of birthday party weirdness
  

*by M***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 24, 2018*

The birthday party aren't everyone's cup of tea but they are essential to anyone with an interest in punk or alternative music. I think prayers on fire is a better album, and if you like that album then this one won't disappoint.

    Great Pressing, Great Sound
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 22, 2017*

Received pressing number 1449. Overall a really good pressing. The glue for the top of the record doesn't really hold well. In fact, when it came, the sleeve wasn't even attached anymore. Nothing a little bit of glue didn't fix however. The Artwork is gorgeous. Very well produced, they definitely used a high-res source. The audio is even better. Crystal clear. Overall, a very good release.
