96. Grinderman - Grinderman (2007)
"11 tracks that scorch the earth lesser bands traipse on" said the Alternative Press about this concept album from the talismanic Nick Cave and it's hard to put it better than that. Just why it's not another album from the the Bad Seeds is open to discussion, but perhaps this is simply Cave letting loose more than ever before. He also uses 'Grinderman' as a license to experiment further than a lot of his noir coated folk. 'Electric Alice' even serves up some jazziness with them blues noodles and the aura changes frantically and fantastically. This either means that there's no limit to Cave's right to be heard, or that the green mutant thing on the cover is one bizarro freakazoid.
