It's the 3 note range of this particular song that drones on and on and on....like a faucet dripping all night long; same sound over and over and over. 

Nick Cave, he's like Rush for the goth set — those who like him can't fathom how people don't think he's a genius.

Go, Nicholas, go, and thanks for Grinderman

Awesome — I was wondering the same thing. Nice to see it occurred to other people too.

By the way, this song is awesome. I love that guitar going into the chorus.

It has to be. Vonnegut actually did experience the fire-bombing of Dresden, and survived by hiding in a meat locker.

Must be a pretty short book.

I like Nick, but this song does prod on. . . and on. . . . and on.

"So gay"? This so likes to have sex with other songs of the same gender?

Yeah, I too am surprised by all the hate. In my opinion, this is easily the strongest Nick Cave album in YEARS...especially this song and "we call upon the author."

I'm having a problem warming up to this one myself. Still hovering around a 5.

the melody reminds me of the cure's lullaby.
which is good for me.

There seem to be a lot of haters out there for this album in particular, but I couldn't agree more. Nick Cave is able to deliver pretty much every time for me. I like this tune very much, and the title track too.

As much as l like the album title, it's all downhill from there.

Is that a reference to Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut ?

...interesting not-quite-dissonance in this song...

least favorite NC&tBS song so far. i normally find them entertaining, but that one just felt plodding and aimless to me. :(

I think I like it, although I could do without the cheezy handclaps.

oh my gosh, this is the worst song ever played on Radio Paradise! It stopped me in my tracks in the middle of a busy day...to stop and say, "what is that noise?"

I believe there is a bell curve in nearly everthing, at least we've heard the bad end of the spectrum to count on much better songs starting with the next one.

eek, sucko barfo as a rating, never been used, until now.
Sorry Nick

UNMISTAKEABLE!

a bit better than the earlier song played off this new album, but not up to RP standards. Why did this crap get produced? Yikes!

Moonland is probably the most annoying song i have every heard.... so gay. Please never play it again

Nick Cave can do no wrong in my book.

If you read the posts during his songs, you seem to be in the minority. Too bad for you.

I am not waiting for anything at all from Nick Cave. I long ago gave up. I first heard him on RP and never warmed to him. This record seems even more boring and unimaginative than the last.

I keep waiting for this man to make a disappointing record. It hasn't happened yet!
