This Horton was narrated by another old Geisel colleague, Hans Conried, the actor who had incarnated that pedagogue-demagogue, that piano-teacher torturer, Dr. Terwilliker in Geisel's fantastical live-action film The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T.

Cave hinted that the Seeds’ next release would channel an adventurous, Grinderman-esque aesthetic, emphasizing guitar noise in defiance of his more piano-oriented past. Fortunately, the gamble pays off in dividends, and “Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!” stands as the mark of an explosive and brilliant new incarnation of the Bad Seeds.The title track opens the album, plunging forward with a grating guitar crunch and the dull moan...
