The guitar playing is violent and his stories a neurotic exploration of urban alienation as if glimpsed behind the scenes of the great open spaces of North America. The album also exemplifies the painful convulsions of his generation, torn apart by drugs, civil unrest and fear. Young swings his ballads between the two extremes of solemn folk and archaic gritty rock. The tone of his voice, a kind of falsetto tenor, ranges from sublime pathos to a forceful aggression. Young's art is, first and foremost, a fusion of music and words that identifies with his era's zeitgeist. Young is unique in targeting the inner chaos of the individual that followed the outer chaos of society. While an artist like Dylan "transfers" his era's events into a metaphysical universe, or an artist like Springsteen relates the epic sense of ordinary life, Young carries out a more complex psychological operation that, basically, bridges the idealism of the hippy communes and the neuroses of the urban population. His voice, his lyrics, his melodies and his guitar style compose a message of suffering and redemption that, at its best, transcends in hallucination, mystical vision, philosophical enlightenment, while still grounded in a context that is fundamentally a hell on earth.

They have decided to change their style up from the first album and create a more grandeur sound and it really pays off. The rich instrumentation is a joy to listen to and so in depth that you can keep coming back and exploring more which is such a difficult feat to accomplish. The keyboard on this album is brilliant and is utilised just right to create the effect they are going for. The string arrangements are delicate and beautiful but also quick and aggressive and they aid in some fantastic tempo switches. Then there is the wind instruments which are performed phenomenally and are vital to this album as they create a lot of the sonic landscape on most tracks. Finally, the vocals and lyrics are outstanding and Isaac has massively improved his penmanship and vocal control. He weaves his way through his words creating a brilliant narrative on every song he is on and slowly builds up to these grand conclusions that are very rewarding for the listener. There is a lot of risks and experimentation on this album and I think it really pays off with the music sounding so rich and luxurious. There are no weak tracks and this album is consistently stunning. Overall, you could tell from their debut that this group had so much to offer and this demonstrates exactly that, as this record is just incredible. It is unfortunate to hear about Isaac leaving the band as this group is oozing potential and if they carried on the way they were going they could possibly be the greatest band of all time and possibly create the greatest album ever recorded as this one comes very close.

Well, this is possibly due to its length. When I first heard this album, I of course recognized its brilliance. However, it's length, and its apparent lack of flow, did manage to seep in at times, ultimately overthrowing its overall magic. Thom York himself posted a comment a short while back discussing the albums length and track-listing. He felt they'd included some tracks that, as I've noticed, do seem to cause more harm than good (Remember, sometimes less is more). Therefore, he included in this post of his, an alternate track-listing that he felt was far more effective. 1. There There 2. The Gloaming 3. Sail to the Moon 4. Sit Down, Stand Up 5. Go To Sleep 6. Where I End and you Begin 7. Scatterbrain 8. 2+2=5 9. Myxomatosis 10. A Wolf at the Door Overall, I find this alternate track-listing to be far more cohesive than the original, truly bringing to the forefront a perfect combination of Radiohead's early Britpop sound, and their - shortly thereafter - electronic experimentation. In conclusion, with this album, Radiohead managed to do it again - another masterpiece. "  [+]  Reply

This album is Arctic Monkeys emergence from the awkward phase, and into a good looking adult. My favorite album of theirs is still "Whatever people..." I like "Favourite..." a little less, and I flat didn't care for the two that followed. My initial impression of AM was disappointment that they were never again gonna be those catchy, reckless, trouble making kids like in "whatever.." Then I realized that they just grew up. This is definitely their second best album, but its good in none of the ways that their debut was. I wouldn't have thought that Arctic Monkeys would be a band who could grow and evolve, but they most certainly have and it's pretty damn good. "  [+]  Reply

Born in the USA, was Springsteen's shot at the title, his pop record, his ticket to superstardom. I'm sure Springsteen had promised Colombia a more accessible record this time, but nobody could have been prepared for the way this album took off. It's a typical Springsteen LP lyrically, blue collar guys, the hopes and fears of the ordinary working man, but this was smothered in a slick pop sheen, it was undoubtedly Bruce Springsteen, but now he wasn't just competing with Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, and Tom waits, now he was fighting it out with Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Prince. The title track was originally one of the demo's recorded for the Nebraska album, but fortunately Springsteen held it back. It's a much misunderstood song, although the version here, could easily be misinterpreted, as Ronald Regan famously did, because it was delivered in it's anthemic, bombastic incarnation. It's a Springsteen classic. Other highlights on the album are, the rocking, cover me, the rockabilly, working on the highway, the cool sweat of, I'm on fire, and friendship anthems, no surrender, and, Bobby Jean. Dancing in the dark, is one of Bruce's all time great songs, and his biggest ever hit in the U.S. There's no weak tracks here, from the brooding, downbound train,to the reminiscing, glory days, and the closing track, my hometown. This would be the last record Springsteen would record with the E street band for 18 Years, when they would eventually reconvene for the 9/11 inspired, the rising. The success of, born in the USA, gave Springsteen what he wanted, the guarantee to be able to sell out stadiums for the rest of his career. It's his greatest pop moment, an eighties classic.

On "apocalypse please"...""There's tons of bombast in this stadium rock influenced by queen and what radiohead would sound like if more extroverted and needing to be liked, but it works because it seems sincere even though it feels like an act. Here, the act is the other side of the end of the world. On "apocalypse please", the heavy, low-note piano bears a palpable burden as does 's soaring vocals. "time is running out" is the hit, with kind of a dance-punk electro-glam combo and lyrics "I think I'm drowning; Asphyxiated, I wanna break this spell That you've created." and a chorus that soars and attempts to lift you up with it. Guitars wrench hard. i really like how Matthew Bellamy's voice soars to give weight to his meaning. The other standouts are "stockholm syndrome" and "hysteria". "stockholm syndrome" is a pure guitar juggernaut, that POUND with the drums before the chorus's climax "This is the last time I'll abandon you..and this is the last time I'll forget you / I wish I could" and its twinkly orgasm before resurrecting the guitar onslaught, and probably captures the muse sound i like the most. This song alone makes showbiz seem like it was put out half-assed by arty high-school kids. There's a guitar onslaught in "hysteria"; but the guitars bring out a more pensive mood once Matthew starts singing "I'm endlessly caving in / and turning inside out" before kicking at the chorus. For a next-generation Radiohead band, they sure can churn out some old-school guitar riffs (something Greenwood probably could do but would rather stick with layered textures). "the small print" rocks as well. They also have their prettier moments, like on "blackout" and "endlessly" ("hopelessly, i'll love you endlessly"). "butterflies and hurricanes" was my 2004 election year anthem for its message of personal responsibility of change reflected in the lyric "You've got to change the world / And use this chance to be heard / Your time is now" (with a classical sounding piano bit)."  [+]  Reply

Forget the slightly rough production, this is The Smiths laying out their mantra and their manifesto, and it is wonderful from start to finish. I grew up with this album and it helped make me who I am today. I bought it from HMV on CD in 2014, right at the start of Sixth Form for me. Few albums could have provided a better soundtrack, with the themes of youth, loneliness and discontent with the world contextualised against the sound of early-80s Manchester that is so vividly captured in the songs on this record embodying what I myself was going through. Contrary to what some believe, it's not depressing. Far from it. It's filled with a melancholic hope, that despite how rubbish the world is, you are not alone and you certainly don't have to feel sad about it. The Smiths' debut is a friend, an accomplice and an advisor. And the more you listen, the more you realise how accurate and relevant it is. And just how good it is; this is Jangle Pop like no other, and I could wax lyrical about all the tracks on here. The real highlight is the second half, from This Charming Man (on CD versions) to What Difference Does It Make?, which really is one amazing song after another. Summarising what The Smiths' debut means to me is hard, because it's so personal and so integral both to who I am and the music I've since gone on to explore. And indeed, I feel like it's one of those albums that everyone has their own personal experience with. That's what makes it truly special. For me, its greatest strength is the message it lays out: the world is rubbish, and there's not much you can do about it. So, rather than getting wallowed down in its sadness, embrace it. Because the music that kind of attitude produces is what makes life worth living for."  [+]  Reply
