For Your Consideration: Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!

I really like Nick Cave but I can't claim to be a huge fan. I've only got a couple of albums (Murder Ballads is an all-time fave) but every time he has something on a compilation album, it ends up being my favorite piece. Look for his cover of 'Let it Be' on the I Am Sam soundtrack, his cover of 'Tower of Song' on the Leonard Cohen tribute I'm Your Fan or his own 'Until the End of the World' on the Until the End of the World soundtrack.

His new one, Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! is really fantastic. The sometimes wordy monlogues are couched in really nice melodies and the band sounds spiky and great. Check it out for yourself at the Fickle Tickling Pickle. Reactions, please.
