Hear the new Bad Seeds album in its entirety!

One of the true originals of 20th century rock 'n' roll is the unpredictable Nick Cave. Travelling through several different musical realms alone, with the Birthday Party, Grinderman, and of course, the Bad Seeds, Cave wants to make sure he covers none of the same ground twice-- and he certainly manages to prove this true in the bright notes of his psycho-carnival epic Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!.

But I bet you're curious. Is this shit actually good? Get a whole listen here on its Last.fm website!

Those expecting the dirges of Murder Ballads and The Boatman's Call should take caution before proceding-- this new album is like a trip inside the freaky down-South church of the Bad Seeds, who never fail to shock, weaving eloquent tales of rock bottom on the streets of New York and back.

If you have faith in Nick Cave like I do, dive on in, and you won't be sorry. If you like it, buy it! Nick Cave needs dough, too.

The year isn't even over, and this shit's already made it to my 2008 Bests.
