	Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds: No More Shall We Part (2001): Reviews
		No More Shall We Part is a beautiful, elegant record, capably fulfilling the promise of The Boatman's Call, but it exacts a harrowing toll from the listener.
		What makes 'No More...' Cave's best album since 'Henry's Dream' (which it most clearly resembles), is a return to melodrama (or rather the juxtaposition of melodrama with the album's ballads) where Cave crafts a deliciously potent mix of the visionary, the bizarre and the everyday...
		No More suffers from a relentless sense of goth gloom that's as claustrophobic as a church confessional.

	Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - No More Shall We Part (Mute)
		However, the release of No More Shall We Part, an uneven album with six good to outstanding songs and six mediocre to dull ones, is forcing me to realize that not all that Nick has touched is as sweet upon the ears.
		"No More Shall We Part" and "Love Letter" (one of Cave's all time best songs) are the most successful tunes on the album, both are slow, tender, and unapologetic love songs.
		No More Shall We Part is a better record than The Boatman's Call, but not quite up to his old standards.

	Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - a Review of The Phantom Tollbooth
		On "No More Shall We Part" Nick Cave demonstrates his mastery of lyric composition.
		There are no rockers on this album, and nothing here requires a prodigy to play, but the songs all have a texture that could not have just been thrown together.
		No More Shall We Part is a work of art.

	HIGH BIAS -- Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
		No longer indulging in blues-flavored grinds or violent tales of emotional excess and its consequences, Cave favors austere arrangements that highlight his melodic piano and suit his tales of small moments and melancholy reminiscences.
		It's more explicit, though scarcely more detailed, in "Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow" and "Darker With the Day"—whether the songs are about the death of a child, a spouse or a sense of faith, the overwhelming loss is palpable.
		His records have become more and more sophisticated as a result, with this album being perhaps the pinnacle of his lush approach.

	NME.COM - Reviews - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds : No More Shall We Part
		More secular and restless than 1997's 'The Boatman's Call', it nevertheless Nick Cave's position as an ivory-tinkling crooner and funereal soulman.
		Nick Cave was married recently, but naturally the celebratory aspects of wedded bliss have passed him by - thus the grimly funny 'No More Shall We Part' alternates between trapped terror and weary resignation as "The contracts are drawn up/The ring is locked upon the finger".
		Nick Cave's mastery of evocative language and slow-burn emotions make 'No More Shall We Part' a beatific page-turner of a record which yields a rich new tapestry of treasures with each repeat reading.

	Nick Cave : No More Shall We Part - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		No More Shall We Part ends a four-year silence from Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.
		Also in the band's musical treasure trove is the addition of the McGarrigle sisters on backing vocals - nowhere is their contribution more poignant than on the tenderly daunting, haunted house that is "Love Letter." Lyrically, and as a vocalist, Cave has undergone a startling, profound metamorphosis.
		No More Shall We Part leaves listeners in awe, full of complex emotions, and pondering the notion that they've been in the presence of great redemptive art--which Henry James calls, "the thing that can never be repeated." ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide

	RTE.ie Entertainment - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - No More Shall We Part
		'No More Shall We Part' is Nick Cave's first, long awaited studio excursion since 1997's superb 'The Boatman's Call'.
		And those parts are indeed great - Cave himself, a scattering of songs written on a grand piano, the Bad Seeds together again and the sweet-voiced harmonies of folk singers, Kate and Anna McGarrigle - yet, despite everything, you feel obscurely let down when it comes to an end.
		Although no longer as angry as he once was, Cave cannot let corruption pass unnoticed, condemning "Goose-stepping twelve-stepping tetotalitarianists" in God Is In the House, "Amateurs, dilettantes, hacks, cowboys, clones" in Darker with the Day.

		No More sees a renewed emphasis on the virtuosity of Cave's longtime backing band, the Bad Seeds (Cave's last album, 1997's superb The Boatman's Call was a relatively sparse affair).
		One of the greatest achievements of Lord Nick Cave that he is a master of both the ballad form and the more heart throbbing rocksongs, or in Nick's case, the Old-Testament-like outbursts, and the fact that The Singer is capable of switching from one to the other in less than a split second.
		So when a few years later `No more shall we part' was announced I feared for more of the same, because voices were saying that this one was musically much alike.

	No More Shall We Part \| The Onion - America's Finest News Source
		No More Shall We Part reconvenes The Bad Seeds, but the disc again sounds out of place compared to most of Cave's other group efforts.
		As with The Boatman's Call, the mood is quiet and mostly reserved, and though Biblical themes rule the disc, his resigned but confident delivery makes it sound as if less is hanging in the balance.
		Or, conversely, as if his characters have no more to lose.

	Re:mote Induction: Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - No More Shall We Part
		It's a bizarre and painful world they seem to inhabit and the apparent wealth of emotion on No More Shall We part, (their eleventh album) is virtually biblical.
		Cave's narration is incredibly involving as he paints scenarios which, when combined with his piano skills and the strings arranged and performed by Warren Ellis and Mick Harvey of the Dirty Three, are of truly heartbreaking despair and are often wonderfully romantic.
		No More Shall We Part has proven far more important that I ever imagined and I not only considered spotlighting it as album of the month I actually found it difficult for a while to find time for the other CDs on review.

	No More Shall We Part - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Song Listings
		A listen to "As I Sat Sadly By Her Side," "Hallelujah," and the aforementioned track (the most "rock" song here) will attest that it is merely one color on a musical palette that is more expansive now than at any time in the band's history.
		As both a singer and a songwriter, his work has been transformed into something so full of depth, color, and dimension, that there is simply no one except his mentors working on this level in popular music.

		In any case, the lyrics on "No More Shall We Part" are even more philosophical than his past writings, dealing with issues of theodicy, intolerance, religious fanaticism, and...walking.
		The next song - "And No More Shall We Part" - is rather weak, probably my last favorite of the album.
		But the music is vintage Cave; this could come from one of his earlier albums, were it not for the sparkling-clear production and the innovative touch of the violin in combination with squalling mountains of feedback that rise and fall between verses.

		His trademark Old Testament tales of hellfire and damnation have been upgraded with New Testament narratives of a more contemporary world, as evidenced by the small town self-righteousness of 'God is In The House'.
		The absorption of the Dirty Three into the Bad Seeds enriches the more organic flow of Cave's new material with Warren Ellis' stormy violin taking the instrumental passages into higher, more prolonged reveries ('Oh My Lord') and wringing heart-rending howls from the album's more raucous moments ('The Sorrowful Wife').
		No More Shall We Part witnesses a refreshingly reborn Cave reaching new peaks in an already very respectable career that still remains disappointment free.

		To be sure, moaning and wailing have proven a tried-and-true signature for him, and the perfect complement to his melodramatic takes on life and love.
		And No More Shall We Part is chock full of tribulation, clocking in with almost 70 minutes worth of brooding anthems and grave hymnals.
		Ultimately, No More Shall We Part introduces us to a Nick Cave who’s been richly transformed and opened to endless new possibilities.

	TIME Pacific \| The Caveman Returns \| May 14, 2001 \| NO. 19
		Now, with his just-released 11th album, No More Shall We Part, a chink of light has touched his melancholy.
		The upshot of this domesticated and disciplined mode is No More Shall We Part, in which Cave almost shows a trust of love-without losing any of the trademark pain and yearning.
		From Cave, it is menacing: "And no more shall we part/ The contracts are drawn up, the ring is locked upon the finger." Fortunately for his large legion of fans, Cave has managed in these moving ballads to maintain his muse-his demons-and to prove that maturity doesn't have to be mellow.

		Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, No More Shall We Part (WEA/Warner Bros): Nick Cave returns after a four-year silence, during which rumors regarding his already mythological existence were rife: according to who you listened to, he was either hooked on smack again, happily married with kids, or some combination thereof.
		And in the gentle "Gates to the Garden," Cave uses a John Donne-like sexual metaphor to suggest that religious ecstasy and sexual ecstasy might indeed be one and same thing.
		Overall, now as ever, No More Shall We Part — as emotionally intense a recording as anything he's ever released — proves that there are still no easy answers in the world of Nick Cave.

		In the case of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, however, a few building blocks may be necessary to fully realize how we’ve come to this remarkably human display known as No More Shall We Part.
		But a bit more of that old-fashioned cynicism is revealed and a certain tension is drawn with Cave clocking in at a register that challenges both the singer’s and listener’s comfort levels.
		Vanished are the ghosts that dwell in search of finality, nonexistent are the bullets that never make their way into our mortal bodies and gone are the electric chairs that few of us will ever sit in.

		“No More Shall We Part” is the band’s 11th studio album and, while I (my Bad Seeds vinyl collection clutched to my breast) wouldn’t say it’s their very best ever, it is a beautiful and timeless collection of finely crafted songs that really grows on one.
		It should, in no uncertain terms, be considered a necessary addition to any discerning CD collection.
		Indeed, with titles such as “As I Sat Sadly By Her Side” (the album’s immensely beautiful, melancholic opening track), “No More Shall We Part”, “Love Letter”, “Sweetheart come” and “The Sorrowful Wife”, the theme is all but set.

	Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds - No More Shall We Part : album review
		After a hiatus of four years (during which Cave married and became the father of twins), No More Shall We Part may please both camps.
		No More Shall We Part oscillates neurotically between the savage and the sentimental.
		The 12 tracks range from the elegantly melancholic As I Sat Sadly By Her Side (the first single from the album), through the disturbing Halleluja ("I'd given my nurse the weekend off...") to the downright manic in Oh my Lord.

		He is a fierce preacher, singing songs of love that sound like death, and songs of death that sound like love.
		On "No More Shall We Part," their eleventh studio album, Cave's depth-charged voice and nimble lyrics murmur alongside sparse piano and strings, adamantly refusing to acknowledge that pop even happened.
		Some songs wallow, but most pull you in, all the more menacing as a whisper becomes a shout.

		Perhaps Nick Cave dreams that he will awaken one morning to discover that he is no longer Warracknabeal, Australia’s most dour punk, but in fact Jesse Garon Presley, Elvis’s dead twin.
		In lieu of this epiphany, Cave has alternated recently between faux-southern goth ballads and claustrophobic chamber pop, hellbent on showing the world the devil’s haircut in his mind.
		Neither as obvious as 1996’s Murder Ballads nor as personal as 1997’s The Boatman’s Call, No More suffers from a relentless sense of goth gloom that’s as claustrophobic as a church confessional.

		With No More Shall We Part, Nick Cave's follow-up to 1997's The Boatman's Call, the former Birthday Party frontman continues to expand the frontiers of his music to an unpredented degree.
		This is, simply put, a beautiful album: Cave's musings on life and love are the expressions of a mature songwriter, without the sentimentality or gratuitousness that mar similar expositions from lesser artists.
		Musically, No More Shall We Part is sophisticated, complex, and genre-defying; one could almost imagine hearing some of the ballads in a piano bar, except that then the songs might rock out, or take on layers of orchestral complexity, at the most unexpected moments.

		From the somber tone on the opening track of his eleventh solo album, No More Shall We Part, it seems like a lifetime since his apocalyptic days in his former post-punk band The Birthday Party.
		These are short stories about the sometimes darker side of love told by one of rock music's greatest writers - a side filled with remorse, doubt and longing.
		A humble yet hypnotic piano-line gentle lilts behind Cave's stylistic and sexually charged croon on "As I Sat Sadly By Her Side." He carries a similar vocal style into the title track, which is both grand and barren, as if he was pleading in vain to the heavens from the foot of a mountain.
