Just Keep On Pushing, Push The Sky Away.

When I heard that Nick Cave has delivered an album with "beautiful" song, I was skeptical. The last beautiful album that I heard from him was Boatman's Call, and then had let me down. In my opinion, this music did not suit him and he sounded audibly uncertain. It was nothing of the sound has become the rage in "Henry's Dream", the horror on "Murder Ballads" or the fanatical be found on "Tender Prey". But change is his right as an artist. Now we have-2013.

"Push The Sky Away" is different "beautiful". Are not by love ballads, but through quiet songs, although very dynamic, but full of excitement and rich in creative sound. "Jubilee Street" is an exciting piece. It never breaks out, but you expect that at any time, as in "Water's Edge" and his pithy bass. Warren Ellis has been able to keep the sound sparingly. It is not fully charged as "Dig Lazarus Dig". The closing number "Push The Sky Away" reminds me enormously "Stranger Than Kindness" from 1986. Both numbers are one of my favorites in the work of Nick Cave. Otherwise the album invites to a little, to rummage in the back catalog, and that's OK. Nick Cave is still far from being able to copy itself.
Although not a concept album makes Push The Sky Away but at a time to hear fun. With less than 45 minutes is not long and has tried (perhaps thereby) no
Filler. The pieces engage as fully selbstversändlich another.

Conclusion: strong buy recommendation. That I forgive only four points, is that a trace of the aggression the old Caves missing me. Numbers like "Tupelo" or "Jack The Ripper" missing completely. But is probably more to my expectations. The album is great.
