It contains one song that has been my absolute favourite song for a very long time: "Child in Time". It is not my favourite song anymore but still a stand-out with the fantastic voice of Ian Gillan and the incredible build-up of the song (two times) to the shredding of the guitar solos.
The other great tracks on this album are "Speed King" and "Flight of the Rat".

"Great Album. My only beef with Chuck Berry is he often starts his songs off the same, but other than that, his guitar playing brought the guitar to the forefront more than anyone else. Almost no filler on this album. Key tracks- Carol, Maybellene, Johnny B. Goode, Roll Over Beethoven. I also like...""Great Album.

"Not quite good enough to be considered a great album in it's own right but certainly more than just a historical artefact. That the band that wrote Negative Creep became the biggest band in the world can't fail to make me smile."Reply
"One of my favorite albums of all time, not a weak track to avoid. Carlos is at his creative peak and the percussion is measured and not over indulging. Would love the release of an official live document from that period. It would be all downhill from there.

Would love the release of an official live document from that period. It would be all downhill from there. Santana III is all over the place and then Rolie and Schon left and Santana never had a decent vocalist again. I know that Carlos is an icon and he deserves the recognition, but Abraxas remains his master piece."[+]Reply
"no comments at all on this album? makes sense, people were probably listening to it, ready to comment, then suddenly found themselves in a steamy, salty, nine-hour sex marathon. IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LISTEN TO VOODOO."Reply

Hippy Johnny only gets a 'like' thrown his way, poor guy. 'I'm Straight' is my favourite track, my interpretation is that it's Richman's faux promise to his girlfriend to get clean and shun his stoner alter-ego.
Musically, the songs are primitive, usually revolving around two chords and a third where adventurous. The recordings give the impression of being lazily rehearsed, which allows for some spontaneous sounding guitar and improvised instrumental sections (usually with an organ solo). The Modern Lovers are bare bones rock and roll at it's most fun, played by your friends band, except they are good. I suppose part of the appeal is that the exciting elements of the Velvet's sound are present here but Richman sidesteps their overt aim of producing art. Instead his main aim is to have fun, and for you to have fun too.

"Goo is almost always overshadowed by "Daydream Nation" That is great record too.I was in love with "Daydream Nation" when "Goo" finally clicked in me, I was just feeling strange it was so much noise, Yeah there was a lot of noise in "Daydream Nation", but this noise made me go to the bathroom and...""Goo is almost always overshadowed by "Daydream Nation" That is great record too.I was in love with "Daydream Nation" when "Goo" finally clicked in me, I was just feeling strange it was so much noise, Yeah there was a lot of noise in "Daydream Nation", but this noise made me go to the bathroom and clean my ears to be certain that I wasn't with a listening problem and this shit really sound like that feeling of clawed Board, Damm this hurts. some influences are really visible in this album like their noise sound, (probably from the velvet Underground) their punk and rock sound (Sometimes like 70s punk or 80s like dead Kennedys) But in this album they don't want to be influenced they want to be the influence. After 10 years in indie labels this was the first Sonic Youth's album to a big label, some may think that they were bought or that they were regretted to write and compose something, But I guess that they waited for this to prove what they were and show it to the world, a lot of person thought that they sold themselves, but I think that they're wrong, If they went to a different road that was "Daydream..." yes, but I feel like... their soul are in that songs. Beginning with "Dirty Boots" the song slowly gains force until the exploding chorus, "Goo" starts to develop in your mind while the rest of your body screams for inside (Maybe for help). After The chorus Of "Dirty Boots" the song forgets the most angry part, and turns something more intelligent and calm (not so calm, But comparing with the rest of the song) And we have some time for some solos, and for the real appreciation of the sound of the song. "Tunic" comes, The guitar intro, shows that is not something happy that is coming, and we begin our story. The song continue Kim's voice brings the sadness of a Real person who would care with the next one and now suffers in her lonely room, The Guitar part coordinated by Thurston, can make this sades of kim's voice so deep, that every little piece of lyrics Open your eyes, and proves that the worl is not that wonderful place that you thought that it would be. "Tunic" develops in a Classic death's story, but it not let the album sad, it lets the album more deep and real. "Kool Thing" is the highest peak of this album. Sonic Youth rarely was so amazing like this song, fast, real and using all their weapons. With guitar solos and drums exterminating any hope of calm. Basically This is not an amazing song, but in the album it is something that they really need more, It is like that abstinence for something to talk about (even that it is something stupid), or just something to make noise. The album continues in this moment. They get crazy for a minute "Scooter+Jinx" and destroy (or transform) every classic song, shaping them on a new pain for years and ears. "Mildred Pierce" is a proof, shaped by a classic beat and old progression, it destroys the ears of the listener in the first listen. Finishing with "Titanium Expose" I begins very quickly, seems more like a big band solo than a song, It is great because they have the freedom to create something on that space of time. but then they begin shred it slowly, with intelligence, and the song goes to another atmosphere in the end, It seems tired in the end, but it's not it is just giving to you the rest that you need after all that noise, and in the last part of "Titanium Expose" when they back again to that all speed, you know that yu will miss that noises in your head."[+]Reply

Their latest two records, El Pintor and Marauder, both feature the absence of longtime bassist Carlos Dengler. Dengler had departed Interpol due to dissension between he and the rest of the band after 2010's self-titled album was released. Despite this change leading to reformed spiritual harmony within the trio, the band lost a sizable fragment of their sonic identity. The ex-bassist's greatest contributions to Interpol come in the form of 2004's sophomore effort, Antics. The record was received favorably by the music press but (ludicrously) didn't obtain the same amount of fanfare as their debut record. Antics is punchier, bleaker and just as addictive as Turn on the Bright Lights. It exhibits an artist unburdened by a gaping hole in their lineup and a quintet feverishly relishing their collective creative prime.
Antics begins by lighting a slow-burning fuse titled Next Exit. A somber, hypnotic opener introducing the listener, reluctantly, to the forthcoming tale of social turbulence. Vocalist Paul Banks remarks, "You've been building up steam, ignited by this fight, so do this thing with me instead of tying on a tight one tonight", calling for bravery in the face of a discouraging, drug-infused descent. The fuse then greets the explosive with second track, Evil. The track is powered by Dengler's intoxicating bassline that cradles the song throughout its duration. The jovial tinge of the track is diversified by Banks' lyrics that conjure the personas of infamous British serial killers Fred and Rosemary West. Spoken from the perspective of the former, Banks chants, "Rosemary, heaven restores you in life, you're coming with me, through the aging, the fearing, the strife." Fourth track, Take You on a Cruise, serves as the centerpiece, fading in slowly like a ship through a dense fog bank. Banks himself has described this as a slight departure from the pathos of the album. He claims, "It has a different tone to the rest of the record for that reason. It’s a tacky seduction story: this guy who may be worldly and well-educated but he’s trying to get laid with a cocktail waitress." The coalescence of the rhythm section in the second half of the track is as majestic as the maritime imagery Banks' poetry frames. This conglomerate plays wonderfully aside Banks chanting, "White Goddess, red Goddess, black Temptress of the sea, you treat me right," calling upon Greek mythology. The finale serves as one of the band's most overlooked cuts. A Time to Be So Small has sonic textures that fashion an appropriate ending for the album with Banks' baritone bathed in reverb as the track floats away. Fogarino's drum hits here have such a fascinating sense of weight that they can be felt within your chest cavity. The song itself is said to be written from the point of view of a crustacean watching a family squabble between a father and son. Go figure. However, aquatic anomaly aside, the lyrics convey a more sinister coloring. The LP ends with Banks proclaiming, "When the cadaverous mob saves its doors for the dead men, you cannot leave," sharpening the threat of death at sea.
Unfortunately for the immensely gifted ensemble, Antics would serve as the band's final full-length classic. Here, the synthesis of emotional tonnage into harmonious elixir is strikingly effortless. Interpol would go on to produce four more above-average, but never legendary albums. As conversed earlier, a portion of it spawned from the crater left by their skillful bass player, but this came long after they'd pumped out their fourth outing. Others would potentially point out that the fracture left behind from the infighting did more damage to the psyche of the band rather than the group's sonic capabilities. Whatever it was, Interpol would never reach these heights again but with that said, not many artists have. A very small sector of the music-making landscape could brandish not one, but two classics to start a recording career. Interpol swam in the deepest of waters with the most fearsome of fauna and emerged remarkably relevant and intact. They've climbed back into their luxury liner with two first-class albums shoveling coal into their furnaces. Interpol has earned the right to go at their own pace now and anything they serve us in the future is a much obliged bonus. The timid, sharply dressed boys from the big city have nothing more to prove.
"If time is my vessel, then learning to love
Might be my way back to sea
The flying, the metal, the turning above
These are just ways to be seen"

So much good music on this at such a high level of output. Riding on the wings of Stevie Wonder, George Clinton, MJ, James Brown, Outkast, Lauryn Hill and Missy Elliot, she was able to do what a bit of what St. Vincent, FKA Twigs, Beyonce, Solange, Grimes, and Kendrick have all been since intensely praised for, yet half a decade earlier. It's as good as anything that's out this decade in this genre."[+]Reply
