Two albums released simultaneously in a single package, but Abattoir Blues is where the real action is, as Cave backs his literary ambitions with the Bad Seeds’ full-throttle roar and a gospel choir’s Pentecostal furor, and creates a spiritual/sexual reverie unlike anything else this decade. “There She Goes, My Beautiful World” name-checks both Dylan Thomas and Johnny Thunders, and the album sits precisely atop that unlikely intersection.
