Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Dig!!! Lazarus!!! Dig!!! (2008)Nick Cave is best known for his brooding, slow, piano-y music. This newest cd, however, was a complete change of pace. The guitars were pulled right out of the 70s, cranking the volume to 11 for a classic rock feel. The bass grooves in time with the syncopated drum beats, and of course, the organ stabs. Now, of course, this can't all be too normal, so there's some weird tape sounds and feedbacking instruments that occasionally play so low in the background that you have to strain to hear them. All of this, of course, is under Nick Cave's commanding voice.
Cave nearly raps the entire album; his speak-singing only slightly tuneful, like he's an actor reciting his lines, using his intonation to let you know the emotions. Utterly fantastic. He's a storyteller above all else, and his ability to spin the classic tale of Lazarus (the man Jesus brought back from the dead) as a new story (in this version, Lazarus wakes up in 2008, lost in New York City, ready to take all of the drugs he can and have sex with all of the women) is just so animated in its exploration. You should get this album, whoever you are. It's ear-opening.
