Sep 16, 2010only cave, after turning 50, could howl like a mad wolf in a rock and roll album and not sound utterly ridiculous... only cave could surpass his own previous work with the bad seeds with something even darker... i mean, is this guy for real?!

Sep 16, 2010Only Cave can write lyrics like "The spinal cord of JFK / Wrapped in my mothers negligé / I'll give to you". And only Warren Ellis can spin the aural web of doom that enshrouds Grinderman 2. I love it, it's visceral, dark and weird.

Oct 6, 2010Enough, already with the viagra erection as a song writing pencil. The Bad Seeds miss you, Nick.
The, possibly, most talented song writer of this recent decade needs to stop dreaming of groupies and get his cynical mind wrapped around something besides what his fist is pounding.
Alright, I'm pushing Dig L Dig back into the CD player.
Oh yeah, I did laugh my ass off. -

Sep 26, 2010Nick Cave does a swell job mixing the blues sound of the 70's with the effect-heavy alternative rock of today. However I find the subject a tad to dark and, for lack of a better word, sleezy for my liking. I find this very enjoyable for any one who is just looking to listen to the music, not the words.

Oct 13, 2010Different enough from Grinderman I to reassure me there is a future to this band. I have listened to it every day since release and I think it hangs together as an album better than the first and more so than any recent Bad Seeds record.

Mar 27, 2012Grinderman 2 RMX provides an enjoyable enough distraction but ultimately this is a collection of material that would have worked better as an EP rather than an album.
