"If someone told me even 5 years ago that I would ever profess to being a Nine Inch Nails fan, I would have called them a bald-faced liar.

Even more so if they had said I would put one of their albums in my personal top ten. Yet, here we are, with The Downward Spiral claiming a position on my list. My perceptions about what NIN was were proved to be wrong after my first listen through this album, and my appreciation of Reznor's unique musical genius grows with each listen. The emotion on this album is honest and real, and the instrumentation is truly unique. No one else sounds quite like Reznor. His control of the studio gives him the ability to create textures that express whatever he wishes. In this case, he creates a story of a man's descent towards suicide, covering the mosaic of emotions which are encountered along the way. The album closes on one of the most touching songs ever in "Hurt", an incredible wrap up to what is a bold and powerful album throughout. No other album so honestly expresses anger as The Downward Spiral, both in its music and in it's lyrics. A tour-de-force from Reznor, and one of my persnonal favourites."  [+]  Reply

It returns to recognizable form towards the end, but by the time "Bring Me Coffee or Tea" comes around, your brain has already been sonically reformed at least half a dozen times, and you'll be all the better off because of it. Not a single wasted moment exists on Tago Mago, despite its containing everything from 20 minute studio jams to almost as long dissonance fests/Damo Suzuki screeching sessions. This album can get as weird as it wants without ever having any risk of alienating of the listener. If anything, the weirdness just makes it more engaging; in fact the eccentric second half may do an even better job of engaging the listener than the undeniable catchy first half, and both wildly different halves of the album are integral to its whole as a landmark of free-from songcraft and studio excellence, both of which it gives an unrelenting exhibition from start to finish"  [+]  Reply

Metallica never really give you any time to rest on their releases and that is very true on their two best records which is this album and Master Of Puppets. They just go from banger to banger on here with every song feeling unique and they all have a high level of quality to them. There is absolutely no filler on this record at all in my opinion. The instrumentation is just electric with the guitar work feeling like it is truly harnessing the power of lightning. It is tough to not get completely lost in the guitar on here as well with the closing track always managing to almost put me in a trance like state with how good it is. Then there is the drum work which is phenomenal and is some of the greatest I have heard on a thrash metal album. To add to this, there is the passion and emotion that drives these tracks that are so easily conveyed to the listener and I can't help but fall in love with their energy and power. You have to play this album loud to truly appreciate the masterpiece that is on display though and I can only imagine how mesmerising it would be to hear this live. This is especially true for For Whom The Bell Tolls as that just perfectly encapsulates their sound for me and is a stunning piece of music. Overall, this is peak Metallica with basically every song being elite which makes it their most consistent release and it feels like the album where they held nothing back and we are rewarded greatly because of that.

Basically everyone here has that one album that got them into jazz, and it usually holds a dear position in their mind. I see for a lot of people that that album is Kind of Blue, and sometimes A Love Supreme. They're good albums, but when I listned to them both, trying to get into jazz, they didn't really click for me. But then I listened to bitches brew, and it all made sense.

The album was met with praise from critics and many lauded the band's lyrical and musical flexibility with ingenuity to boot. When production began on a much awaited follow up in 2006, the band affixed two more permanent members into the fold, drummer Jeremy Gara and violinist Sarah Neufeld, expanding their repertoire to an even fuller extent. What they would produce with their newfangled, richer musical density would come to be known as Neon Bible, a record that never ceases to radiate dreaminess, twinkling triumphantly with unbridled grace. More importantly, it serves as the band's most prolific artistic statement, steadfast in its shimmering brilliance. The first landmark on the album, comes in the form of track four, Intervention. The song stresses the dangers of over-dedication, whether it be towards patriotism while unaware of the prospect of incalculable casualties or towards religious zeal which renders an individual to turn a blind eye to familial strife. Frontman Win Butler declares, "Working for the church while your family dies, you take what they give you and you keep it inside, every spark of friendship and love will die without a home, hear the soldier groan, we'll go at it alone". This coincides with sublime organ pulses that engulf the track in a haze of heavenly aura. Eighth track, (Antichrist Television Blues), finds the band at their most 'Springsteenian' as they conjure a unflinching groove while Butler's lyrics call upon an escape from a dead-end American town and ponder what the future may bring. Penultimate cut No Cars Go is a drum-powered, french influenced rallying cry against the hustle and bustle of modern society. The track swelters to a boiling point of cathartic harmonization, perfectly leading into Butler's subdued first words of My Body is a Cage. The final track illustrates Butler's crippling anxiety until the song erupts in its final moments as he claims "his mind holds the key" to breaking the spell. Arcade Fire's seminal second LP may not garner the same indie street cred as Funeral, however, it does contain a tighter, more cohesive collection of tracks that are effortlessly dynamic, both in musicality and thematic structure. The addition of a more heavily stocked musical arsenal provided the foundation for the band to push the boundaries of their sonic experimentation. The end result is an album that is less preachy and more introspective, attaching an alluring vulnerability to artists who were extremely conscious of their musical prowess. Plainly, this is not the millenially aware Arcade Fire found on Everything Now, nor is it the Arcade Fire who were undeniably ingenious but marginally conceited on Funeral. Neon Bible features the ensemble at the peak of their powers, embedded with confidence while tastefully unguarded. This is frankly mind-blowing considering that Arcade Fire at their worst is a force to be reckoned with. "Into the light of a bridge that burns, As I drive from the city with the money that I earned, Into the dark of a starless sky, I'm staring into nothing and I'm asking you why." -(Antichrist Television Blues) Standout Tracks: 1. No Cars Go 2. Intervention 3. Ocean of Noise 96.3"  [+]  Reply

Jagger comes through with his best set of lyrics on this album, especially on "Sympathy for the Devil", which is a chronicle of tragic historical events sung from the viewpoint of Satan, who admits to causing them to happen (no, it is definitely NOT a song advocating Satanism, unlike what many believe). There is also an acknowledgment of the social protesting that was a clear component of the chaotic year of 1968 with "Street Fighting Man", and a sing-along tribute to the common working man and woman in "Salt of the Earth". In between, you have the band acknowledging their roots with a Delta blues cover, acoustic country and downright salacious rock. 'Beggars Banquet' has it all and has to rank as one of the three or four best rock albums of the '60's. The Stones never topped it, although 'Exile on Main Street' came close to equalling it. This one is a masterpiece."  [+]  Reply
