A songbook for the disenfranchised, Urban Hymns is beautiful from start to finish, capturing the disgruntled tinge of its contemporaries and presenting it in a conversational and delicate attire. It's a flawed masterpiece, too long and too soft for its own good in places, but it's hard to deny how reassuring and how comforting Richard Ashcroft's words are. I have a lot of sentiment with this record. It came out just around the time I was born, and the CD copy I still play in the car all the time is the same as the one my parents bought shortly after its release; Lucky Man inadvertently soundtracked a lot of big moments in my life, and very aptly too I must add; the album has opened me up to a hell of a lot of other 90s alternative bands, and continues to shape my taste to this day. It's for those reasons that I can forgive the slow pacing and dragged feel that others pick out. Urban Hymns packs the depth and approachability that I crave on occasion - a healthy dose of slightly dreamy alt rock, with enough 90s guitar riffs for all the family and a diorama of melancholic, politically tinged lyrics - and has been there for me enough to have earned a prized place among my collection. A flawed masterpiece for sure, but like all flawed masterpieces, it's what you see in it that matters most. "  [+]  Reply

I'm a huge fan of "Boxer" and "High Violet" so my expectations were extremely high and amazingly they have been surpassed. The musical arrangements on TWFM are absolutely gorgeous and Matt's lyrics have gone to another level and become even more introspective and personal. Personal favorites off this album for me are "Sea Of Love", "This Is The Last Time", "Graceless", "Humiliation" and "Pink Rabbits" just to name a few. Easily AOTY so far and I honestly cant see another LP topping this. The National have done it again."  [+]  Reply

They were praised for this at the time, but now more than three decades later, the song may scare away new listeners which is really a big shame because is one the Band's greatest and probably their most influential album. It's not that "Tears of Rage" is a bad song; it just may take some time to get into it. "Music From Big Pink" was actually the only Band album with two equally important songwriters; by their fourth album "Cahoots" keyboard player and occasional drummer Richard Manuel had completely stopped writing. This was really a shame, because his material on "Big Pink" equals that of Robbie Robertson. The relaxed and slightly whimsical "We Can Talk" is one of the catchiest tunes on the album and in my opinion an early Band classic. Another outstanding Manuel tune is "In a Station", which somehow reminds me of the legendary Danish band the "Savage Rose". Darker Manuel tunes like "Tears of Rage" and "Lonesome Suzie" may be harder to get into, especially for people who have not grown up with the music of the Band. Interesting to hear the jazzier and faster alternate version of "Lonesome Suzie" among the bonus-tracks; actually I find that version more appealing. Of course Robbie Robertson turned out to be their main song-writer and he also shines here on the debut-album. "The Weight" is more or less their signature tune; a great song showcasing all three lead-singers. In fact one of the great things about this great group is that it had these three singer whose vocals blended uniquely; especially on their earliest albums. Another Robertson classic is the organ-riff based "Chest Fever" which eventually becane a Garth Hudson live tour-de-force. The bonus-track are all good, though several lack in sound - "Basemant Tapes" sound. The last tune "Ferdinand the Imposter" could really have been great; also the country-inpired "If I Lose" is also quite charming "  [+]  Reply

Natalie Mering’s voice gives me Joni Mitchell and Nico vibes while still feeling completely new. The instrumentation is beautiful. There's the folky, twangy guitars, lush pianos, strings, synths... it's all perfect! Titanic Rising sounds like it exists outside of time too. It definitely has the folk and psychedelic sounds of the 60s and 70s but the production and mixing are all very modern. This is especially true on songs like Andromeda and Movies where the synth really transports you out of this world and into the future. I've already listened to the album three times and honestly I think my opinion of this album is only going to go up from here. Titanic Rising is an album I want to go around showing off to my friends. Can't say enough good things about it."  [+]  Reply

It's also written by Summers, and is about a dude and his sex doll. It's a character song, lighthearted and fun, probably not serious (just like Mother). Mother fits on this album alongside Sting's quirky lyrics and the bouncy and fun motif the music has for the rest of the album. Synchronicity II has a great melody and is another cool story-ish song. It's a good album with consistent use of experimental ambient guitar work, and early world music influences. P.S. Wrapped Around Your Finger is an incredible, delicate ballad. Probably my favorite from them. Like the other dude said, it's about a power struggle, but he always comes back to her, so maybe it's not such a healthy relationship, but anybody who can sing such a gorgeous melody as this one for somebody must genuinely be in love."  [+]  Reply

This album may not have the same blinding wit as their first nor the poetic abstract imagery of their third but that's not to say this album has its own moments of brilliance. Songs like "Only Ones Who Know", "Do Me A Favour", "Florescent Adolescent" and "505" deal with the angst felt my many 18/19 year olds leaving school for college in a very honest way. Lines like "Well all the little promises they don't mean much When there's memories to be made" "It's these times that it tends, The start to breaking up, to start to fall apart Oh! hold on to your heart." Are laden with a poignancy and create a sense of a person's comfort zone being torn down and replaced by the uncomfortable vulnerability of a lone individual. Intentionally or not the speed of this album reflects the speed of these changes. For these reasons I dare call this album a concept album a very good one at that."  [+]  Reply

It always sat as a personal favourite of mine, but one that I never put on a list because a) I couldn't bring myself to, and b) I'd convinced myself it wasn't good enough, as if the despair of listening to it was the only value I derived from it. In fact I hadn't listened to the album in years when I heard it was going to be re-worked. Something I was both excited about and terrified of. The album was already canonical, what might be if this rework changes the experience for the worse? would it kill my memory of it? That said, I was deep down excited because I've found myself listening to newer Car Seat Headrest album and loving the production. I'd been waiting for an album to come out that had the power and profundity of Twin Fantasy but the production chops of later works, like deep down I'd convinced myself if I could take the album (or whatever post teens of denial masterpiece I thought was coming) seriously, and still be moved as I was a teenager to bandcamp Toledo, then I could happily herald the work a masterpiece, and deservingly so. I think deep down I was waiting for this to happen, and I couldn't be happier it did. "  [+]  Reply

The Cars' debut blended new wave, synth-rock, hard rock, power pop and 50s rock n' roll/rockabilly into a tight, compact and extremely catchy package. It's amazing that the band managed to pack this level of quality into their debut album. Very fresh and unique sound for the time. Even when compared to 80s new wave/rock artists, I can't really think of any artists who sound like the Cars. And even after new wave died out in the late-80s, in the 90s and 2000s, you can definitely hear the influence of this album and the Cars in general on bands like Weezer, The Killers, Green Day, Teenage Fanclub, the Strokes, Fountains of Wayne, Jimmy Eat World, etc. A must listen for any music listener.
