Nick Cave seemed to have found his lighter side on this double-release (packaged in the same box), shunning a bit of the dark murder themes he’s been known for. In fact, this is a downright uplifting album, a complete anamoly in his catalog, full of gospel choirs and upbeat, energetic songs that verge on Christian in subject matter. It may be perplexing to some old fans, but if you can get past what Cave used to be, this is a gorgeous piece of work.
