NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS "abattoir blues/the lyre of orpheus" cd, 2004
studio albums: 15
singles: 31
album stats: #5 AU, #11 UK, #126 US
single stats:
"nature boy"......................................#88 AU, #37 UK
"breathless"......................................#45 UK
"get ready for love"............................#62 UK
"there she goes my beautiful world".....#45 UK
another of my xmas giftcard purchases...
i bet you guys are surprised i didnt already own this one...
well, back in 2004 i wasnt a cave-ophile, and couldnt justify purchasing a double album of material from a guy i only 'liked' and didnt 'love'!
this one only sparked my interest when Music Head posted it in his "1000 albums..." thread and he said he loved it, i figured then that if he loved it i would almost certainly love it also!
anyway, two discs here, the first entitled "abattoir blues" has a heavy feel to it...very grungy for the most part.
the second disc entitled "the lyre of orpheus" is more piano based ballads(did i say ballads?,yes i did!), theres even the odd hint of gospel in these songs on this disc.
i think vocally Cave's vocals on this double album are about as good as he ever sounded..
lyrically, this is full of the usual deep,dark foreboding trademark themes that we all know Nick Cave for.
its not very often double albums are all class,many fall down with several fillers but like "the wall"(pink floyd) this is all class from the get-go
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
