The Bad Seeds without Mick Harvey doesn't seem like The Bad Seeds to me. Most of their albums that I would consider the greatest ones (e.g. the ones up to and including The Boatmans Call) are the ones where he was the de facto musical director, the one who translated Nick's ideas into unique music. The Warren Ellis era deosn't seem to have the same va va voom, it's more FM radio classic rock - Bad Seeds Lite.
