Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Dig! Lazarus Dig!
May 26th 2008 11:41
I Dig It.
Of all the Nick Cave albums to review I chose his latest release Dig! Lazarus Dig! because I was inspired by Stephen King's Top 20 Best Songs Ever List ( for anyone who didn't read the article, he went through his Ipod and claimed his Top 20 Favourite songs were in fact the ones he'd listened to most on his iPod). When I searched through mine I found that this cd was at number 4 of the top cycled albums.
So how do I start to summise the awesomeness of this album? Well I'm not too sure if albums can take on scent characteristics, but this album just reeks of coolness. Nick Cave, blasts through this album with the sort of dark charisma that makes you wonder if Cave infact has possession of the Devils soul. Yeah he's that good. It's not just Cave that's a standout on this album either, The Bad Seeds match Cave's flair in spades. Everything from the subtle drumming and percussion on Moonland to the screeching guitarwork on Lie Down Here ( & Be My Girl ), The Bad Seeds show they're the perfect accompaniment for Caves vocal mastery.
This album is a good place to begin if your not familiar with any of Nick Cave & The Bad Seed's work. I mean seriously, how could an album with Nick Cave preaching about a Zombie Lazarus be bad?
4.5/ 5
