Nick Cave
Nick Cave really shakes things loose on "Get Ready for
Love," which opens Abattoir Blues, his newest album.
As Cave goes right for God in the refrain — "get ready
for love" — in the maelstrom, a gospel choir roaring
"praise Him" responds. His tense, ambivalent obsession
with theology is pervasive; he mocks the Western perception
of God in the heavens yet seeks the mystery of His nature.
That he does so while careening through a wall of noisy rock
damage is simply stunning. It leaves the listener revved up
and off-center for what comes next. The chorus — members of
the London Community Gospel Choir — is prevalent on both records;
the Bad Seeds arrangement utilizes them wisely as counterpoint
and mirror for Cave's own baritone.” – All Music
