Nick Cave - Let Love In

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds returned in 1994 with Let Love In. Keeping the same line-up from Henry's Dream, Nick Cave and company turn in yet another winner with this record. Compared to Henry's Dream, Let Love In is something of a more produced effort - longtime Cave boardsman Tony Cohen oversees things, and from the first track, one can hear the subtle arrangements and carefully constructed performances.

Love, unsurprisingly, takes center stage of the album. Besides concluding with a second part to "Do You Love Me?", two of its stronger cuts are the (almost) title track "I Let Love In" and "Loverman", an even creepier depiction of lust's throttling power so gripping that Metallica ended up covering it.
