Just when you thought he'd already broken more new ground and created more timeless masterpieces than could ever be matched, he drops this piece of fusion genius, which is probably the most ambitious thing Davis ever released in his career. And I mean this is fucking Miles Davis we're talking about. Made really just as an attempt to reconnect with a younger audience who had strayed from jazz, Davis ended up crafting what would later be seen as an important forerunner of everything from post-punk to drum'N'Bass. He played with weird structures and repetition and all kinds of avant-whatever else he felt like screwing with because he's Miles fucking Davis. He mastered the electronic music aesthetic before electronic music was really even a thing. As "out there" as all this sounds, throw in some funk and still maintain some jazz, and what could have been a Stockhausen tribute instead becomes a funky as fuck Stockhausen tribute album. The avant-garde has never been so catchy. It’s not surprising that, upon its initial release, On the Corner was met with not only critical scorn projected by those who just really didn’t get what they were listening to, but with a massive backlash from anyone who had been a dedicated fan of Davis’ jazz for any great amount of time. To them, this album must’ve felt like a complete abandonment, a monstrosity that marked the fall of a giant. But really it was quite the opposite; Miles Davis had hit a point where his artistic ambitions required him to advance sonically, and so advance he did. Fuck anyone who didn’t like it. Oh and I’m sure the shocking offense which was the actual music of this album was only worsened by those who cared to look into those credited, because holy shit what a lineup. Prominent featurings of everyone from Chick Corea to John McLaughlin to Herbie Hancock (just to name a few), what could possibly go wrong? Well in the eyes of the 70s jazz community, everything. In actuality, not a goddamn thing. No matter how many unexpected sounds are thrown at you, not matter how unfamiliar this album is from most anything the average listener is likely to have heard, its “weirdness” is the furthest possible thing from a hindrance on what is, in the end, an album without fault. Though I can’t really make statements like that when On The Corner doesn’t exactly have any peers to which I should be comparing it to judge its relative awesomeness. Though I’m sure if it did, they would all fall flat. tl;dr I agree with Borve"  [+]  Reply

I get that you all are attached to White Blood Cells. I get the appeal of that album, it's a jolt of rock. This album is not White Blood Cells. It requires an acquired taste, an open mind. The White Stripes fan base expect rock, which is why this album is often cited as their worst. From a songwriting standpoint, this is their best. I like to start the album off with "The Nurse" and not "Blue Orchid" because I feel like "Blue Orchid" was slapped in there at the last minute just so this album could have a single. "The Nurse" sets the correct tone for the album, it is also the best track. I understand why some people do not like "The Nurse", but keep in mind that "The Nurse" is a song about murder (at least from my interpretation), so it should be uncomfortable to listen to. It really gets me into the right frame of mind for the rest of the album. So for the sake of being a snob, I'm going to pretend like "Blue Orchid" doesn't exist. Get Behind Me Satan explores many themes, but the one that stands out the most for me is how to overcome seclusion. Every track represents a different scenario that deals with the issue. One of the more stunning tracks, "White Moon", is about a soldier who carries a photograph of Rita Hayworth to symbolize his "girl back home" that he never had. In this album, Hayworth represents the unobtainable dream, which grows obsessive in "Take, Take, Take", a song about seeing Hayworth in the flesh. Another standout track, "Little Ghost" is about still being attached to the memory of a dead spouse. "Every morning I awoke And I see my little ghost Wondering if it's really her that's lying there I lean to touch her and I whisper But not brave enough to kiss her When I held her I was really holding air" What makes a song like this so great is its devastating lyrics being accompanied by one of the most joyful melodies The White Stripes ever created. The White Stripes use this trick throughout most of the album. The final track "I'm Lonely" is a heartbreaking ending to the album. This song tells the listener that there is always love in family, even though the family is out of reach in a place far away. Which may be about Jack's own feelings about touring. In any case, it's still an amazing song. Overall, my interpretation of this album might be different from your own. This is one of the many reasons why this album so unique. In the end, I feel satisfied, which is what really counts."  [+]  Reply

We want to put everything, people, art, everything that exists, into little categories with certain attributes so that we don’t have to spend all of our time examining each individual thing to observe its unique properties. It’s just easier that way, it’s easier to see something and say “I now know what this thing is” because of how it has been categorized, either by us or someone else. This can be problematic though, especially in the world of music genres. If any one album fits perfectly into the hole of one genre, then chances are, that album is not particularly interesting (though this is not necessarily true). The best albums, the best music, transcends genres, they look genres in the face and directly defy them. The best music is the music that, when your friends ask about it, you say “It’s kind of a mix between….well it’s kind of like….. you know what just listen to it.” That’s what “You’re Dead!” is. There are so many different genres shoved into this 38-minute, 15-second album that it’ll make your head spin. This is one of the most all-over-the-place, neurotic, chaotic albums that I’ve ever heard. It’s really hard to pin it down in words, and that’s the beauty of it. Listening to this album is like being on a roller coaster with a loose lap-bar. The whole album deals with life and death, it feels like this album is about the futility of life, the futility of what you do with your life. It’s an album that absolutely requires, and will take by force, your whole attention, and needs multiple listenings, and even then, you might not even fully grasp what has just happened, as if you just witnessed a man resurrected from the dead, this album will be swirling around in your head and you may even question whether or not it actually happened, but be assured, it happened, and you loved every glorious, frantic second of it."  [+]  Reply

Tackling progressive rock, Elton John and Bernie Taupin expanded their songcraft and in doing so created my personal favourite album of all time. What helps Madman Across the Water to be so exceptional are a couple of things. Firstly, the album holds some of the most incredible musicianship both Elton and his band produced. Elton John is stunning on piano as usual and he has also evolved vocally, however Elton can't take all the credit for Madman Across the Water. Drummers Roger Pope, Barry Morgan and Terry Cox are all great as well as bass guitarists David Glover, Brian Odgers, Herbie Flowers, electric guitarists Caleb Quaye, Chris Spedding and acoustic guitarist Davey Johnstone. The real standout here though is Paul Buckmaster with his soaring string arrangements on 7 of the 9 songs. This album also has 4 of not just Elton John's greatest songs, but in my opinion 4 of the greatest songs ever. "Tiny Dancer" is one of Elton's enduring classics and deserves to be. "Levon" is an epic tale which features some of Taupin's most cryptic lyrics and a sublime Elton melody transforming into a grandiose crescendo. "Madman Across the Water" is a dark, brooding portrait written from the perspective of a psychopath in an asylum - "Is the nightmare black, or are the windows painted” - which starts off quietly with Davey Johnstone on acoustic guitar and then fades into one of the greatest battles in music history between Chris Spedding (electric guitar) and Paul Buckmaster (strings). "Indian Sunset" is an underrated masterpiece which chronicles the story of an unnamed American Indian warrior on the verge of defeat from the white man and has one of Elton John's most delicate vocal performances."  [+]  Reply
