Free Music Notes for Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!!Free Music Review: Dig It!!!
Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds have just released the best record of 2008, their first in nearly four years. Dig!!!Lazurus!!!Dig!!! is number fourteen in their canon and though some of Nick's albums tend to be a bit uneven, albeit brilliant in a scattered kind of way, this new release captures him and The Bad Seeds at their mature, informed best. This is undoubtedly one of their most cohesive, coherent, and beautifully engineered albums yet. But don't think for a minute that this one doesn't rock. Just because Nick recently turned 50, time hasn't slowed him or his bandmates. Drawing upon the raw energy of last year's raucous Grinderman collaboration seems to have infused the Bad Seeds with a power and freedom not seen in years; not seen, in fact since 1994's Let Love In. From the opening title track Dig Lazarus Dig with its irresistible, insistent beat until the smooth groove of the finale More News From Nowhere, there isn't a weak song, not even a weak moment to be found. I must make special mention of the beseeching scorcher We Call Upon The Author, undoubtedly the album's apogee, and of a personal favorite Lie Down Here, a throwback sound to the mid 60's with a screeching lead guitar with The Bad Seeds providing vocal support behind Nick's snarling lead. I could go on mentioning individual cuts that stand out-all but a couple are immediate grabbers- but the whole of the project sustains and creates a dark, irreverent mood that is simultaneously loud, exciting, and full of unexpected turns. Amid some of the album's reined in and controlled ambient noise there is a dark humor loosed, certifying that Nick Cave more than understands the world we live in, and like a prophet he undermines America's cultural landscape while exploring its soundscapes. In short,... prolix, prolix, nothing a pair of scissors can't fix...this a masterwork. It goes almost without saying that Nick Cave is at the the top of his game now: 2 successful albums in successive years, a second novel on the way, upcoming tours with both of his groups, great soundtrack work with scores for Andrew Dominic and John Hillcoat films. To quote a line from the second track Today's Lesson, "We're Gonna Have A Real Cool Time Tonight..." Listening to this new CD, I can assure you, we most certainly shall.
