- Dec 11, 2025Live God does what the best live albums do: capturing both the thrills and spills of the performance and the audience's rapturous response to it. [Feb 2026, p.82]
- UncutDec 11, 2025The set ebbs and flows, Cave alternating between charming and cajoling, vulnerable and scathing. [Jan 2026, p.24]
- Dec 11, 2025There is no weak link in sight across 18 varied and often pulsating tracks that dance between darkness and light as Cave’s music so often does. It is a testament to his artistry and continued innovation.
- Dec 11, 2025The bombast side of things is immensely powerful from the off. It’s the glue. Indeed, more than any other aspect of this live music, it is the choir – a triumphant icing of richly layered, though regularly in unison, often enormous, high quality backing vocals – that lends this concert both its sepulchral juggernaut energy and its sheer ‘open space’ rolling vastness. .... For me, the quietest moments work least well. Cave’s overwrought melodrama requires the back alley impoverished, addicted, outsider energy of his earlier eras, rather than this comfortable, even imperious, audience conducting showman.
- Classic Rock MagazineJan 6, 2026There is enough fire-breathing mania and lusty exaltation on Live God to make it a reliably thorough document of the Bad Seeds in full autumnal glory. [Feb 2026, p.78]
