It is particularly deserving that music that deviates strongly from contemporary time and culture, thereby losing its popularity and threatening to disappear forever in the past, is brought to the attention again. But at the same time DCD also challenges its listeners. This song is again very fatalistic and seen from the complete album yet another story about saying goodbye and about the sour taste of sadness about what is irrevocably lost. It is hard to argue about the beauty and symbolic emotion of the text, but the a cappella performance does oblige the listener to empathize with a ballad that originated during the earliest history of the Irish struggle for independence, and with that much is demanded of the listener. "Yulunga" (Spirit Dance) reminds me a lot of the songs from "The Serpent’s Egg": the music is repetitive and pure, the framework for the vocal line minimal, but unfortunately here the track tends to be boring. The venous edge is no longer present. The mysterious and flawlessly performed vocals cannot save the song. The percussion that gives color to the second part of the track is rather corny. Fortunately that cannot be said of the fantastic “The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove”. This song has lyrics that are about a conflict that can hardly be disentangled and an inevitable farewell, but the song is floating on a very catchy "groove" and a peculiar sound atmosphere. Of all the vocal parts on the album, that of "Mr. Lovegrove" is by far the most convincing. The narrator gives the listener a subjective insight into a relationship that has gone wrong. He places the blame on the counterparty and does not shy away from the harsh words and accusations. I have no idea if Perry refers to the broken relationship with Gerrard (or the quarrel with Peter Murphy?). There is a strong pop sensibility to the song (the track was released as a single by the way) but there is also a hard to define dark pulse to it. The choice of exotic instruments is particularly successful and ensures a wonderful, transparent balance. I think this is the song that saves the record. It abstains from sadness and fatalism and remains entertaining. "Tell Me About The Forest" unfortunately fails despite the good vocals of Perry. This song has neither the identity nor the charm that many other earlier DCD songs do have. The track “The Spider’s Stratagem” also doesn't appeal to me. The formula with repetitive percussion lines shows wear and the arrangements are skilled, but can no longer surprise. It's a shame to have to determine this, but the magic is gone and the song also lasts way too long. "Emmeleia" is a gem that strongly relies on multilayer vocals and bears witness to technical mastery, but the emotion and powerful rendition of the similar "Echolalia" on "The Serpent's Egg" are completely absent and only a cool, even uninterested kind of detachment remains. The unexpected and the sense of the experiment seem to be gone completely. "How Fortunate the Man With None" doesn't convince me either. Admittedly: the lyrics have a certain charm, but again the song falls prey to the success formula that made DCD such a wonderfully adventurous band. "The Carnival Is Over" doesn't interest me either. Perry has already composed several similar songs, but this track does not reach the high level of the previous albums. What intrigues me is the fact that Perry literally quotes Joy Division in his lyrics ("The procession moves on ..." from the song "The Eternal"). Is it a tribute or theft? No. Brendan Perry is a very honest musician and it is certainly not theft. But you never really know for sure, do you? "Saldek" is an excursion from Lisa Gerrard, but she too makes too much use of mannierist interventions that conceal a lack of originality. Again: for a fan it is painful to find out how this album only contains a few good songs. "Towards the Within" is good. Not that this track is full of inspiration and originality, because here too DCD falls back on a formula that has been used too often, but all components have a clear identity here and can convince this time. I dare not say for sure, but it is as if the record is suffering from the break between two lovers (Gerrard - Perry) who experience that it is difficult to keep everything professional and to work together as usual. However, the record company still believes in the band and although production is not really nagging, it seems that the momentum is gone."  [+]  Reply

I think most people are of the opinion that PIL were at the top of their game on Metal Box and I can understand that. Personally I think that Album with Bill Laswell is the best thing Lydon's ever done, and that First Issue was as good a manifesto as this band ever gave. Other people have said though that The Flowers of Romance is their best album and I don't understand this opinion at all. I think I read Jah Wobble as having said once that, looking back, he thought PIL didn't live up to their potential. Basically, I'd say that The Flowers of Romance encapsulates the wasted potential of this band. What the hell is this album about? You've got two smart guys with good taste in music and what do they create when left to their own devices? A collection of unlistenable, anaemic, metallic-sounding songs with bad lyrics. The only listenable songs on this album are "Banging the Door" and "Home is Where the Heart is". Yes I know that the percussive element in this music shows the influence of african/middle-eastern music and german bands that are more interesting than PIL. I don't care. This album gives me a goddamn headache. Lydon definitely has a unique vision but he needs other people around to create the actual music. Levene was already beginning to show signs of being washed up and mentally disorganized. Yes it is moderately interesting. Is it good? No."  [+]  Reply

The title track kicks off proclaiming "The sound of God is the screech of tires, lights and magnets, bolts and wires, strayed from the road" with a chorus that states god is "streaming out of the magnets". Then next song: "So can you tell me why in every version of the events shown here, there's another season that crawls by like years, from blown speakers clear? It came out magical." But the party truly starts with track #3, "the laws have changed", immersing one of the chorus's neko glory throughout especially when she's ready to "form a line". Then there's the neko-helmed "all for swinging you around" ("We're twisting incognito with no time, can't talk, can't tell / if this is fantasy or culture shock") -- makes me want to be swung around by neko. Both of those songs are pure indie pop gold. "Chump change" is retro-groovy with its "ooh oohs". When this group nails it, they nail it -- like on "it's only divine right" and its "come true" neko-laced chorus and guitar-interjections. Often their choruses are one-word lyrics, but it's so damn catchy you almost don't notice, like with "july jones" sporting "One of the greats, on the way, hold on." (w/neko!) chorus before the other "Behind the daylight, who knew what it could feel like? " chorus, not to mention the seducing "ooh la la"'s. Or on closer "miss teen wordpower", with AC & (a belting) Neko weaving "because nobody knows the wreck of the soul the way you do" and the song title into chorus before spinning into the third chorus "So we float through the streets, breathe city lights, claims of the crown forgotten". This is the pop that should be all over the radio."  [+]  Reply

I'm not a fan of this album although Chasing Pavements is a great song. It's far too coffee house for my liking. You can tell within the first 5 seconds of 21 that that album in tone is considerably different than 19. Her sounding pissed off and more aggressive and heartbroken on that album really helped make that album what it was. Daydreamer and Hometown Glory are good as well, and this album gave you some signs she could be headed towards a good career, but gave you no inclination that her next album would be the tour de force 21 was. One of the best albums of this decade. I can easily say now. Great singles. Timeless theme about being heartbroken. And an actual singer. I love Adele, but just didn't feel it as much on this as 21. She's got a booming,big time voice. Why do coffee house material? lol. "  [+]  Reply

Green Album disappointed fans too much and Maladroit was just similar enough to the Green Album to get roped in with the same reputation. There are subtle differences that make this better. It rocks harder with more force than any other Weezer record. The heavier almost metal sound makes it a more memorable record compared to Green Album even if the lyrics are still generic. Guitar riffs and licks are better here too with more solo's. I like the record, I rank it 3rd in their catalogue. I haven't listened to their album's in the 2010's which have been well received so Maladroit may drop for me eventually. But it is better than anything else in the 2000's"  [+]  Reply
