Sometimes The Blues Is Just A Passing Bird

The Tallest Man On Earth

"The greatest EP. Ever. Pure beauty. the 5 songs on here are an incredible, flowing tour-De-force of tenderest beauty. It is filled with the most achingly gorgeous melodies and guitar playing and some of the greatest lyrics I've ever heard. The vocals are so true, and plain and perfect throughout...." [+] Reply

Seven Psalms

Paul Simon

"Once again, Paul Simon shows that he is almost peerless as an artist. As he ages, he has not stopped making music that challenges him and his audience. He continues to be creative rather than fall back on tried and true formulas to just keep busy or make money. Who else has put out albums in thei..." [+] Reply

Passover

The Black Angels

"It's all about the repetitive drone in each song, alongside dark lyricism. The Black Angels get away with it, and they do it well on Passover. The driving guitar riffs and rhythm; they're the AC/DC of Indie and Psych Rock. They've got a few good albums, but Passover is the best." Reply

Major Arcana

Speedy Ortiz

"Speedy Ortiz rock. Yeah it is a bit like Pavement with Liz Phair's vocals, but who wouldn't love that? Grimy ass chords with some nice pop hooks are hard to turn away from." Reply

Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites

Skrillex

"Skrillex might be the most innovative musician in the business - or at least with any chart presence. You have to argue that "it's not music, it's an air conditioner" (as nitro2k11 put it) is a unique sound; I would argue that there is definite melody guiding all the grinding, crunching. and grow..."

Full House

Fairport Convention

"Angel Delight was Fairport's follow-up to their master-piece "Full House".

Guitarist and songwiter Richard Thompson had left the band before the recordings for the album, but some songs had been written and rehearsed before he left. Thompson is co-writer on two songs and though his personal vocals are missed, his absence is actually surprisingly not very obvious. Before the recordings of "Full House" the band had moved in together in an old inn called "The Angel Inn" ( hence the title of the album ), and they lived there together during the recordings of this album too. Actually Richard Thompson still lived there after he had left Fairport Convention to pursue a solo-career; so obviously he still played a part in the band's musical direction. Guitarist Simon Nicol reveals in the sleeve-notes that he was not too familiar with the electric guitar at this point; but he obviously had been very much inspired by Thompson's style and his playing on the album is great. As with "Full House" the songs is a mixture of traditional songs and new originals written by the band. The opener "Lord Marlborough" is one the traditionals. This old folk song features great lead vocals by Dave Swarbrick; catchy melody in a very unusual/difficult rhythm, which makes the song even more fascinating. Simon Nicol takes over the lead vocals on the next traditional "Sir William Gower". The distorted guitar makes you think of Steeleye Span at their most electric/rocking period. Another good track! The first of the album's two instrumentals is the the violin-dominated "Bridge Over the River Ash" - almost like a classical piece. Dave Swarbrick takes over again the lead vocals on his and Simon Nicol's "Wizzard of the Worldly Game". Classic Fairport Convention at their best; fine solo by Nicol! "The Journeyman's Grace" written by Thompson and Swarbrick is a song much in the same vein as "Walk Awhile" from "Full House" The title track is a catchy and optimistic tune with autobiograpical lyrics. Great drum-breaks by Mattacks. The traditional ballad "Banks of the Sweet Primroses" was from the the first time I heard the album my favourite track; and it still is. A gorgeous melody. The instrumental medley is as always a pleasure; showing what great instrumentalist they all were. The last traditional song "The Bonny Black Hare" is probably my least favourite track, which by no means makes it a bad track. Swarbrick and Thompson's "Sickness and Diseases" is the most hard-rocking track on the album. Great closer of the original album. The single bonus-track is a BBC recording of "The Journeyman's Grace"; not that much different from the album version, but still interesting as it features great guitar-playing from Thompson. https://www.angelfire.com/nv/Badfinger/BANDfairport.html" [+] Reply

Propeller

Guided By Voices

"A wacky and wonderful collection of music. It's got songs that sound like Pink Floyd and King Crimson had a lovechild, 90s pop rock, 80s post punk a la Joy Division, something resembling lo-fi KISS, and some art rock that reminds me of Deerhoof before Deerhoof was a thing. Inexplicably, all of it..." [+] Reply
