Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus
Completed in just 12 days, Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus brought two albums that can both be regarded as self-contained masterpieces; two storming, driving, relentless, devotional, slinky, subtle, heartbreakingly beautiful records that, lyrically, switch from the cynical to the sanguine, the defeated to the defiant, dealing in love, war, beauty, children, romance, rejection, pethedine, poetry, panties, god, auden, Johnny Cash, cold potatoes, too-much-money, not enough money, writers block, flowers, animals and more flowers.
