Dig Lazarus Dig and No More Shall We Part

Well done.

Maybe Blixa should have used more of a Martin Gore comedy Nazi accent to make things clear.

Dig Lazarus Dig and No More Shall We Part based on this review:

Amazon.com's Best of 2001
No More Shall We Part contains a greater wealth of musical invention and lyrical intelligence in its 68 minutes than most acts manage in an entire career. Cave is not merely in a different league from most of his peers; he's scarcely even playing the same game. No More sees a renewed emphasis on the virtuosity of Cave's longtime backing band, the Bad Seeds (Cave's last album, 1997's superb The Boatman's Call was a relatively sparse affair). The Seeds decorate the sprawling ballads on No More Shall We Part with aplomb, helped on several tracks by the crystalline harmonies of folk singers Kate and Anna McGarrigle. Cave's lyrical preoccupations remain constant--God, love (and the loss thereof), and death. As ever, Cave deals with these themes with great agility and imagination, and, as ever, he is funnier than he is generally given credit for. --Andrew Mueller

TBH, I hardly ever listen to that. Must give it a spin today.
Isn't it too unrocky for you?

I really like No More Shall We Part.

[kook]

I don't dislike it. Just don't think of playing it often for some reason.

What I've heard is pretty mellow, but really beautiful.

I would like to announce I have purchased to albums and am in the process of making a procolamation about Nick Cave and his Bad Seeds

A very good decision sir. I await your pronouncement with interest.

[black francis]

My proclamation has been delayed by the missus insisting on driving the Honda. I can't make an informed decision till I have driven with Nick Cave and we all know the situation with the truck.
