Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

I was bored up until "There She Goes, My Beautiful World." Then I was mostly bored again until a few songs on the second disc. I didn't dislike many of the songs, but they were almost all too 'raconteur'-esque. Nick Cave's low talk-singing doesn't do it for me. The instrumentation was interesting on quite a few tracks, but I could never find my way to enjoying the big picture. I didn't hate it, but I'd never listen to it again. 5/10.
