5 out of 5 stars What a Suprise! .......2004-09-30

Maybe I'm just out of the look but I had No idea that Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds were releasing a new album! LET ALONE A DOUBLE ALBUM! Technicly, Since I live in the states, they have not yet, but I am listening to this fantastic recording right now!
These albums mark a new chapter in the Nick Cave bible. Abattoir Blues/Lyre Of Orpheus sees one of the strongest incarnations of The Bad Seeds in a long time. Which saddens me to say becasue Blixia's not in the band anymore. But Conway Savage, Thomas Wylder Martin P. Cacey and Mick Harvey have never sounded more together. I was really impressed with the playing on both these albums. There are monents of pure Bad Seeds grove, but then they go in to Gospel, Blue, or even Funk! Cave's voice sounds a little bit more classic then it has on other recnet recordings.
Cave seems to have gone even further down the religious path. There are many songs (mainly on Abattoir Blues) that are pure Gospel. In fact Its easily noticed that A.B. is a little more brach then Lyre of Orpheus. Which finds its sound in more of a mellow, folkish sound on many of its song.
This is a real double album people! Many of these songs clock in at around 5 minutes (and a few that are longer) and theres only one song that is shorter then 3 minutes (Fable Of The Brown Ape)
