Another fantastic album
I have to admit that I wasn't impressed the first time I heard this album. I liked the title track well enough, and I enjoyed News From Nowhere, but none of the others impressed me. Every time I listened to the album it grew on me, one song at a time. Now I can't stop listening to it- I absolutely love Jesus of the Moon, Hold on to Yourself, and Lie Down Here. It's one of my favorite albums.

Phenomenal Album
Best album of the year. I can't get this out of my CD player. If this CD came out from a better known artist than Nick it would be all over the radio. That is my only problem with the CD. Not enough people will hear it. Sorry Nick but I've burnt a bunch of these and gave them to friends who otherwise would not have heard it. The response has been great, everyone loves it. This CD more appeals to the masses than most of Nick's other stuff so I hope the hardcore Nick fans aren't hating it. I've purchased a lot of music I really like lately; Consolers of the Lonely, Mudcrutch, Felice Bros, Weezer Red album and REM Accelerate but I keep coming back to Dig Lazarus Dig. I have tickets for him at the Wamu Theatre in October. I haven't seen him in probably 20 years and I can't wait.

great new album
Perhaps re-energized by the Grinderman project, this album finds Nick Cave and company picking up the pace a bit from the last few Bad Seeds albums.

I disagree with the (semi) negative reviews. I appreciate the fact that he mixed things up a bit and think the song-writing and lyrics are still top notch.

Can't wait for the tour!

More good stuff from Mr. Cuh-vey
I won't waste your time with overused and flabby adjectives. Suffice it to say, Nick and his Bad Seeds cohorts slide into middle age with chops, prowess, and style. If you liked his previous work, this should suit you just fine. If you've never listened to the father of Goth-lounge then this is just as good a place to start as any. Of course, the teens might find him boring, but then many think if one isn't wearing eyeliner, one has no street cred.

Dig Lazarus Dig
At first listen, I was not certain I would care for this album; although I am a dedicated Cave fan. After one or two times playing it, I really liked Midnight Man and More News from Nowhere. I am finding I like the whole album better and better the more I listen to it, reminding me that Cave's work grows on you. I think Dig Lazarus Dig is a good choice for Cave's fans. The man is amazing and just gets better as time passes.
