iTunes Review
Nick Cave has always had a wild side. The Birthday Party once provided him with plenty of electrical cover and the Bad Seeds occasionally broke out in fits of mania. As Grinderman, Cave’s Bad Seeds extend those fits and turn them into one massive wail. These are blues songs turned angrier, punk songs turned edgier, and folk songs gone awry. This is rock ‘n’ roll at its most extreme. The thick guitars and bouzouki on “Heathen Child” take the tribal beat and rampage through the jungle. “When My Baby Comes” shuffles in a disturbed jumble with Cave repeating his lines obsessively as the drone grows more intense and the backing shrieks take over. “What I Know” is the meditative breather before the deluge. “Evil!” crushes everything in its path with Cave as the sturdy and demanding commander. “Kitchenette” digs deeper into the Delta blues. “Palaces of Montezuma” comes as a soothing surprise. Cave glides over the rain-slicked road with a chorus that’s the nearest he’s come to pop in many full moons. “Bellringer Blues” adds wicked gravity to Cave’s desperate treadmill. The Deluxe Edition includes the bonus cut “Fire Boy” and remixes of the album’s single.

Raw, fantastic
The early, positive reviews of this album are well earned. Grinderman II is a more sophisticated and sinister album than its predecessor, washing the listener in white noise, grinding sexuality, and depraved blues. It's a beautiful record cloaked by ugliness. Yeah. Seriously, there's much here for fans of early Nick Cave and the raucous Birthday Party albums to admire and enjoy. "Evil" alone is worth the gate price, for its chanted chorus and lyrical and sonic images of a relationship buffeted by outer circumstances and inner torments: "Cling to me here in this rented room/Who needs the moon?/You are the moon" becomes "You are the moon/Who needs the moon?" As the guitar-feedback swirl reaches an impossible crescendo, the listener is left wondering if Cave is protecting his lover from evil or manifests evil himself. If "Heathen Child" and its accompanying video indicate, Hinduism (if vaguely) and duality are recurring inspirations, though the band seem to be reaching to something earlier and more primitive. One can culture oneself into an Abominable Snowman (or Mickey Mouse, as the first track suggests), but you're never that far from the Big, Bad Wolf.
I didn't get the bonus tracks, oh well
This is worth the hype, however. Nick Cave is the best Elvis impersonator
