Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Review by Raziq Rauf

Ah, the return of the dark murder balladeer: Nick Cave. & The Bad Seeds, as well. He has brought with him an ambitious and beautifully presented double album for our troubles. Arriving in a cloth-bound box with a full set of lyrics helps to make this feel like a masterpiece before you've even turned your stereo on. To be drunk with a good bottle of red.»
