Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: The Videos (1998)

A collection of music videos featuring work from as early as From Here to Eternity (1984), right up to The Boatman’s Call (1997).
The music is great (5 stars for it alone), but the accompanying visuals are appallingly bad and add almost nothing complementary to the songs. The only exception is the video for Where the Wild Roses Grow.
Occasional brief thoughts from the band members punctuate before each disaster begins; even they acknowledge how awful they are.
I suggest making a YouTube playlist and seeing if that floats your goat before investing actual money in a purchase. I wish I had.
