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

To start with the negatives, this isn't a perfect album as it does have a couple flaws such as the elongation of The Battle Of Epping Forest. However, none of these flaws hold it back significantly and for the most part they are people picking out tiny details that aren't really important. Then there are the positives of this album which is pretty much all of it. Musically, it is absolutely stunning with some of the arrangements on here completely blowing my mind every time I revisit this release. Then there is the instrumentation which is a marvel with this record having some of the greatest prog guitar and drum work I have ever heard. They then build upon this with a diverse array of instruments which are all performed beautifully and add such depth to the music. Their layering is fantastic as well with there being so much for us to explore and discover about the music on here. Then there is the songs as a whole which are beautiful compositions with the peak of this being The Cinema Show and Firth Of Fifth. Finally, you add on top an outstanding vocal display from Peter Gabriel and then you have a cohesive, fulfilling masterpiece that only gets better the more times you hear it. Overall, this is a phenomenal record and it deserves all the praise it receives as it is truly one of the greatest albums of all time. "  [+]  Reply

When most guitar based music was embracing dance music or marketing their angst as Grunge anthems, Talk Talk release this little album of deconstructed intimacy. Spirit Of Eden may have seemed foreign but it made perfect sense to the Talk Talk evolution, that had been slowly progressing over three previous albums. Album number 4 arrived like a frozen winter, the fourth and final season to complete the growth cycle. Upon its arrival it now become obvious that we'd actually arrived back at the beginning. Eden was invisible to the outside world, so far removed that it seemed completely out of place. The result was a revelation. In retrospect this was a vision of the current world, re-imagined as a protected place .A place where even the quietest voice is heard. Without distraction we discover Eden, a place where our inner child lives and In choosing to become a witness we accepted an invitation to walk inside anothers spiritual journey, where truth can finally speak freely. Our commitment is one of complete meditation. A clear mind is needed to hear. The Voice of vulnerability sings candidly into the open. Beautiful formations escape from the wandering cries and whispers. Somehow this album still sounds accidental and unrehearsed. It is a moment of time passing, that never becomes captured. Strength is born from sadness and loss, expressed with all the innocence of childhood. Honest confessions are not without doubt, but, never once is self pity indulged. Spirit Of Eden requires your care. It isn't somewhere to escape. It is the declaration of an inner voice. It returns us to the essence our ourselves. "  [+]  Reply

They were critically lauded soon after, but in the eyes of those who equate surroundings to people, they were little more than privileged rich boys who gained the favor of those with power in the industry. The band shrugged such ridiculous claims off and just kept on keeping on. In other words, they kept making some of the best pop music of the decade. Nevermore was their genius more validated than with 2013's Modern Vampires of the City. Sporting a crystalline sheen and drastically more sinister tone, Vampire Weekend concocted its best collection of tracks to date. Seemingly alternating between uptempo, positively-charged romps and sentimental, breezy ballads, Modern Vampires of the City prioritizes balance far more than the band's prior work. The first landmark comes in the form of third track Step, which twinkles triumphantly leaving Rostam Batmanglij's production as the hallmark of the sweepingly gorgeous cut. The album soon receives an adrenaline shot in the form of Diane Young, a full-gear stomper which emphasizes a desire to live life at its fullest, with no regrets about being rebellious or young for that matter. One of the album's most audacious excursions comes in the form of tenth track Ya Hey. Frontman Ezra Koenig's vocal delivery is in stark contrast to the rest of the album, invoking religious fervor at a subdued pace. As convention would have it, Modern Vampires of the City is indeed a pop record. It's one that takes risks, nudges away stereotypical classification and entrenches Vampire Weekend as a prominent force in modern music. Provocatively written, skillful executed and exquisitely produced, the album is a testament to the blossoming creativity of a young group on the rise, with much success predicted to follow. The album has a warm quality and has effectively become a comfort piece for me, calling back to better times. It's a record for those with youthful flesh and minds with temperaments far beyond their years. "Ancestors told me that their girl was better She's richer than Croesus, she's tougher than leather I just ignored all the tales of a past life Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife" -Step Standout Tracks: 1.
