"There is some truth in the comparison has been made of this album compared to the Beatles' White Album, the album combines national folklore rhythms with rock, punk, bolero, in short it is an eclectic album. an instant classic"  Reply

"Despising this Album at first, it quickly grew on me. Now its one of my absolute favorites, from the trippy feel of Dramamine to Space Travel is Boring. It established Modest Mouse as a unique alternative band."  Reply

I can't think of a single reason to dock this album even five points. A true masterpiece of performance, thematic cohesion, innovation...just great rock music in every sense. All six tracks are spectacular in their own right and work wonderfully together. The album opens with the title track, which immediately pulls you in with its incredibly catchy chorus "Cities full of hatred fear and lies". Whereas the Ayn Rand influence can be a bit overbearing in some of their earlier albums, here I feel like it is mixed in just the right amount, capturing a sense of dissatisfaction in the present and a deeply held internal conviction that things can be better, as relevant now as ever. The song ends with the lyric "closer to the heart" which acts as a perfect connection to the song of the same name which appears third on the album and succinctly encapsulates all these things. In between these two songs is the album's centerpiece, the incredible "Xanadu" which is an absolute tour de force, from its beautiful zen opening, to its parade of brilliant riffage that opens the work, glossed with reverberated sounds that anticipated the 80s before its time, leading to the song itself that maintains momentum with its sudden tempo changes, and topped off by a truly tremendous drumming performance by Peart. The second half of the album is equally strong, beginning with the hugely underrated "Cinderella Man", one of the most earwarm pleasant songs I have ever heard. It seems to idolize an Elon Musk kind of figure, which honestly probably is not the most aligned with my personal beliefs but is done so convincingly you can't help but to be swept up by it. Sure, "Madrigal" is the weakest track, but it fits very well as a palette cleanser and it is nice to have a more simple, sweet sentiment within all the complex political and social theory. The last track on the album is the first one I heard, and when it popped up on a playlist without me checking the artis or song name, I could have sworn something from "Kid A" snuck its way in. Well, it quickly transitions from that course, but you get some of the coolest prog rock I've ever heard, kind of proto-Tool in a way with its complex time signatures and heavy mayhem, giving a quite convincing musical portrayal of a black hole while lyrically genuinely reflecting on the mysteries of the cosmos that could cause such a phenomena. One heck of an impressive album, very surprised this isn't regarded higher or more frequently as Rush's best."  [+]  Reply

A marked improvement on Think Tank and most definitely rubbing shoulders with some of their best records. Reflective of the city it was recorded in - Hong Kong, there's a spacey, futuristic glow to each song whilst all the while a sense of melancholy loneliness and dislocation pervades amongst the hubbub. The Magic Whip finds Blur very much Lost. In. The. City. It is without a shadow of a doubt a brilliant album and an excellent return to form, sounding for all the world like the same band who released She's So High or even still The Great Escape, it will leave very few Blur fans disappointed - even if inevitably, you're left wanting more. Standout tracks include: Thought I Was A Spaceman; My Terracotta Heart; There Are Too Many Of Us and Mirrorball. 10 out of 10."  [+]  Reply

It starts off with a muted tribal horn i often blast before the drums beat in with Colin narrating the premise of "the infanta": "Here she comes in her palanquin / on the back of an elephant / on a bed made of linen and sequins and silk / all astride on her father's line / with the king and his concubines / and her nurse with her pitchers of liquors and milk / and we'll all come praise the infanta". The charging literature of the song is finely offset by the quieter, pensive, recharging bridge. The lyrics on "infanta" are the best decemberists lyrics yet (and i love intelligent lyrics), replete with high-point scrabble words like "palanquin", "pachyderm" and "folderol", tied with another picaresque tune, the epic "mariner's revenge song", probably my favorite decemberists songs of all-time. "mariner's" starts in flashback mode "in this belly of a whale" recalling a "rake and a rastabout" who moved in on the narrator's mother when he was 14 "Leaving my mother A poor consumptive wretch" with a killer-yet-frail chorus delivered by Jenny wisping "Find him, bind him / Tie him to a pole and break / His fingers to splinters / Drag him to a hole until he / Wakes up naked / Clawing at the ceiling / Of his grave". The narrator later was hired in a priory "But never once in the employ / Of these holy men / Did I ever once turn my mind / From the thought of revenge" hearing about a captain known for "wanton cruelty", the man who left his mother destitute in death. There's even a pensive instrumental passage as the narrator contemplates commiting a "wicked deed" (to kill that captain) which nails the sound of the old sea (as only the Decemberists can!). Then "And then that fateful night / We had you in our sight / After twenty months at sea / Your starboard flank abeam / I was getting my muskets clean / When came this rumbling from beneath" as the whale rose from beneath which chews up all but our two antagonists. Marvelous storytelling and delivery including an energized ending. All tunes have the feel of tales of centuries ago, classic stories charles dickens or herman melville would be proud of, full of motorcars and muskets ablaze. "we both go down together" is a tale of a couple who commit suicide knowing their families will never allow them together ("Meet me on my vast veranda / My sweet untouched Miranda / and while the seagulls are crying / we fall but our souls are flying"). That Colin can make such wordsmithy, sea shanties so catchy and endearing is a testament to his intelligence and ability to tap the human condition. Like on "eli the barrow boy", the soliloquied epitaph of a loved one, singing "Would I could afford to buy my love a fine robe / Made of gold and silk Arabian thread / But she is dead and gone and lying in a pine grove / And I must push my barrow all the day". Or the humorously playful "the sporting life": "I fell on the playing field / the work of an errant heel / the din of the crowd and the loud commotion / went deafening silence and stopped emotion" . The instrumentation on this album kicks arse too, from the fiddle on "together" to the organ and horns on "16 military wives" to the accordion on "mariner's revenge song". The slower numbers work well too, from the crime scene buildup of "the bagman's gambit" ("On the lam from the law / on the steps of the capitol / you shot a plainclothes cop on the ten o'clock") and literally lost love "from my own true love (lost at sea)", to what i feel is Colin's first love song "of angels and angles". Beautiful acoustic guitar prefaces simply-felt lines like "there are angels in your angles, there's a low moon caught in your tangles", the perfectly understated closer to offset the literary bombast of "infanta". The sentiment is as saddening-sweet on "the engine driver" with a chorus pleading "and if you don't love me, let me go", and even on the lyrically-simple-life-of-a-male-prostitute of "on a bus mall" illustrating "here in our hovel we fuse like a family, / But I will not mourn for you. / So take off your makeup / And pocket your pills away. / We're kings among runaways / On the bus mall." . There's even a jab at politics in "16 military wives": "Cheer them on to their rivals / Cause America can, and America can't say no / And America does, if America says it's so". "  [+]  Reply

It does what it has to do to be good, and leaves all other unnecessary bullshit. It introduces a sound and shows what it can do. If that sound is truly good and original, you don't need to convince your audience with anything else. Good beats, good sounds, good variation. The sounds on the foreground though; this style depends on the sounds being satisfactory, as with most electronic music. Best sound can be found at the start of 'The Heat (The Energy)'."  [+]  Reply
