Pressure Machine

The Killers

"The Killers Most Cohesive Album Yet A lot of people’s biggest problem with the Killers is their lack of album flow and consistency. The biggest example of this is Hot Fuss. The first side of the album is LOADED with hit after hit and contains some of the best music of the early 2000s. Only to be ..." [+] Reply

James Chance & The Contortions

"Combining the cocophonous syncopations of Beefheart, the free-form spastic rhythms of Albert Ayler and the funky dance beats of James Brown, Chance creates a new form of destructured dissonant music for the new wave generation every bit as daring and innovative as the Pop Group and Rip Rig And Pa..."

Because purely taken as a piece of music, it rarely gels into anything substantial. In hindsight, I was harder on Folklore & Evermore on the time which mostly seemed to be about the ballyhooed "I can't believe Taylor INVENTED indie folk music!" overpraise, but it actually felt like a positive exercise to move away (at least for the most part) from all the first-person taylor drama and actually rejigger her interest in character-based songwriting which has always been a much more engaging style than her attempts at meta self-reflection. And again the Songwriting is key, because these often aren't even really full songs, just coasting on the modern snippet-based music trend that a 30-second mood stretched out to the brim is a full idea on it's own right. A lot of it is ressurecting already-dated trends (the endless vocoder use, purring baselines, moody Odd Future and 808 cast-off riffs) as well as some of her own old sounds (particularly the steely synths of 1989, though intentionally fragmented here to emphermal results), which doesn't help that most of the songs still are all Taylor, all the time- a whole lot of humble brags about how personal fallouts and media scrutiny made her the better person, and more record-industry drama BS (which leads to the most tedious attempt at a noirish revenge song anyone could imagine). I donno, there are some highlights, the end couple of songs are pretty solid vintage Taylor with some modern trimmings and "You're On Your Own Kid" is a lyrically strong, more outward look on how the earnest romantic teenage longing of her earliest work has fractured as time passes and pleasing enough I'll completly forgive it rips off the sound of Melodrama's masterpiece "Hard Feelings" (and no blaming Antonoff here, I doubt he was even in the studio here considering the complete auto-pilot production job). Obviously an album that would look more towards the growth of her now adult fanbase and how her music has affected them rather than herself would've been a more interesting prospect, instead we get an album that coasts on what we've heard all Before, both from Taylor and much of the styles that were popular in her heyday. It's not terrible by any means, but perhaps the worst thing Taylor could do is make a terminally uninteresting album that even when spinning you can forget you're even listening to it and realize there's better things to do with your time."

Frankenchrist

Dead Kennedys

"Okay, when I first got this I would only ever listen to Soup Is Good Food. But as the months go by each song has opened itself up to me (apart from Goons Of Hazard). And this is a hugely diverse album indeed! This Could Be Anywhere proves Jello as a sheer talented songwriter. A different type of ..." [+] Reply

The Terror

The Flaming Lips

"Lately, The Flaming Lips have entered a very experimental stage of their career. They’ve always been fairly experimental and odd in their music, but lately they’ve been going in a very different direction from some of their earlier albums like “Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots" and “The Soft Bulle..."

Shout At The Devil

Mötley Crüe

"Gotta say, this is a really solid album. Probably Motley Crue's best and their most perfect blend of heavy metal and glam metal. Motley Crue will always remain a dumb band, but they've got some good hard rocking tunes." Reply

I'm Still In Love With You

Al Green

"This is Al Green's best selling album not counting greatest hits..and "Love and Happiness" is probably in my top 5 favorite R/B tracks..at the time, 1972, "Love and Happiness" was so big on black radio, it was the song that sold the album much more than "I'm still in love with you" single..of cou..."

Waiting For Columbus

Little Feat

"This was their biggest album by far (2BS 3140), it came out when Queen, "News of the world" and "Aja" were out..at the height of 70s album sales..this was a huge album and got a lot of airplay that Little Feat hadn't had before. This album was our chain's biggest selling album for 1977, just beat..." [+] Reply
