"Well, I'm listening to it right now. I was expecting a nice heartfelt acoustic/folk album, since Tom Waits is the whitest name ever and the album cover looked relatively harmless. HOLY GOD WHAT IS THIS"  Reply

Quite why the first side is given over to the electric songs, and side two the acoustic, I thought it would be better the other way round. Anyway, as far as the first(electric)side,is concerned, it kicks off with one of Dylan's most iconic tracks. Subterranean homesick blues, is Dylan's waterfall of words pouring out of him in a kind of rock/rap phrasing. She belongs to me, is a lovely blues ballad, and, Maggie's farm, is a great track, Dylan's kiss off to his folk past? Love minus zero/no limit, is one of Bob's most beautiful tracks. If there is any weak moments, it's the last three songs on side one. All are blues rockers, with 115th dream, still nonsensically enjoyable. Of the acoustic side, Mr. Tambourine man, is off course fantastic, but my favourite Dylan song of all time is the stunning, it's alright ma, I'm only bleeding. Incredible, still floors me every time I hear it. It's all over now, baby blue, ends the album, another goodbye to the folkies, possibly? The most amazing thing about this album is that the next two records would be even better. Dylan at his peak, at this time, he was untouchable. "  [+]  Reply

Blur coming out with something you can get behind, suede sound ok but but don't look as good as blur and they only look good as the rest look shit. Feb 94 oasis on the word, channel 4. Supersonic. I must have watched that hundreds of times in the days that followed. I've never looked forward to a single release as much as supersonic. For 6 months at least they were wonderful. The gig when Noel got chinned, I was there. Nothing lasts forever. But if you were there and you got it then you know. If not, you never will."  [+]  Reply

In a way I find criticisms of GnR similar to criticisms of Aerosmith (7os era Aerosmith that is) - it's blues based rock music, of course it doesn't sound entirely new or original. But like Aerosmith, GnR simply did it better than anyone else around. Both bands had a very distinctive lead singer with a huge stage presence (and personally I think both Steven Tyler and Axl were good lyricists for what they were trying to accomplish). Both bands had solid rhythm sections. And both bands had excellent dual guitar work. In a way these bands are the progression of bands like the Rolling Stones, who also had the five piece, two guitar setup, and a very distinctive lead singer. Apart from that, I think it's important when rating music to try and judge it as if it wasn't totally played out. Yes, I'm not necessarily going to search out Welcome to the Jungle or Sweet Child to hear them for the millionth time, but the fact I've heard them so often is entirely separate from whether the songs are actually good. And I defy any fan of rock music to tell me with a straight face that they don't understand why Welcome to the Jungle is played at every sporting event - it's because it's an incredibly exciting song that gets you amped, with one of the most memorable intros of any song I can think of. That said, this isn't a perfect album. In particular, I think the second (roses) side is noticeably weaker than the first (guns) side. But I think the first side contains, at worst, high energy rock songs (It's So Easy and Out Ta Get Me) and at best, two of the most anthemic rock songs ever. Lyrically, these songs do a great job of capturing where GnR and Axl specifically were at while they were recording. Mr. Brownstone and Nighttrain capture the essence of an active drug addiction very well. Mr. Brownstone specifically I think is one of GnR's absolute best tracks, and grievously underrated. I suppose there are some who simply dislike GnR's sound - for me, the first six tracks on this album sound like rock music is supposed to sound like. A real shame that the band was already fracturing (for a multitude of reasons) by the time this album was released, but for this one album, they sound like the greatest rock band in the world."  [+]  Reply

Justin's voice is so haunting and his falsetto is to die for. The simplicity of it enhances it fully, their second album falls from being over produced. Justin escaped into the Woods for a few months to work on this album and you can hear that perfectly here. The music has this tone and attitude where the wilderness is all you can picture. It sounds as a longing to get free and want to be away. His vocals on ever song is beautiful, especially the harmonies with himself on The Wolves Act 1 & 2. Musically it's easy and accessible to listen to. The only place this album has some faults is with lyrics. On songs like Lump Sum, Blindsided, and Creature Fear, they are questionable. But at other times they rip through like beautiful poetry, and talent is undeniable. The Wolves Act 1 & 2, Flume, Skinny Love, and re: Stacks, are the highlight tracks easily. They have the most emotion and power to them and that's where Bon Iver really shines. Sure if you're in a blissful carefree mood, Bon Iver is not the band to go to, but if you need to cry, need to be picked up some, need something nice, this is the perfect place to go. There isn't too much to comment, because it's an incredible album plain and simple. A must listen to from the last decade. A-"  [+]  Reply

A lot of bands tackle the themes covered in some of the work of the Lips, but in my opinion few do it in Coyne's unpretentious fashion. I can relate to his musings on life and love far better than any other musician or lyricist I can think of, simply because it doesn't sound like some self-important, navel gazing rock star wrote it. And, y'know, then he writes about evil robots and cats killing dogs and shit. So you get the poignant observations on existence as well as the bat shit crazy. He's definitely covered a wide spectrum, if no other credit is given to him."  [+]  Reply

There's a certain magic to this album - I'm not exactly sure where it comes from, perhaps from Simon's voice, the gentle and bright sound of the album, or perhaps just the warmth that seems to emanate from every track on the album. If you ever need an album to accompany a summer's evening or set a chilled, laid back move, this is the album that'll do it. I should spend some time covering just what an incredible achievement this album was back in its day - the fact that South African culture was being featured on an American release was quite something, and the exposure it gave to these artists and attention it brought to South African culture was huge. Not only is Graceland a excellent album musically, it's excellent for what it achieved. You could, as I have, spend a long time analysing the many fascinating lyrics found throughout the album, but somehow, I don't think that's the point. This albums real power is the warmth of its sound and its incredible ability to relax you and captivate you. It elicits perhaps the most positive emotional response of any piece of music I've ever heard. Every song seems only to build and build on this feeling, and the result is a genuinely magical record. Undoubtedly one of the best albums ever released, perhaps simply for its emotional power, but more so for its wonderful fusion of sounds, feelings and words. "  [+]  Reply
