| Nick Cave brings fourth an album of biblical proportions with the amazing Abbatoir/Lyre double album. The usual themes are all here (lost love, death, and god), but are told in a more mature tone that was set on previous albums. 'Abbatoir' shows Cave's more rockin' side of music that will make you feel the spirit of the lord, while 'Lyre' is the perfect counterpeice, with its hypnotic blues vibe. One of the best qualities of the album is the top-notch production that lets The Bad Seeds shine along with Cave and the Gospel Choir. " So long, Goodbye, Farewell" |
