For the most part, I agree with you, hypothetical BEA member. Pop is, generally, not even good on accident. Modern pop is the cantina from Star Wars: a wretched hive of scum and villainy; but even among the weird aliens and that one pig-nosed guy, there exists a cool, exotic, antihero who makes you not regretting entering in the first place. That's right. Lorde is Han Solo. Though there are some lackluster tracks in this album ("Tennis Courts" and "Buzzcut Season" immediately spring to mind), other tracks, like "Ribs", "White Teeth Teens", and (the albeit overplayed) "Royals" make it soar above the rest of the pop world like some kind of majestic, 21st century bird. A Millennial Falcon, if you will. Though pop is pop, this pop gives us a new, minimalist-ish sound that resonates with me, for one. For what it is, it's phenomenal."  [+]  Reply

It's a wonderfully rich record featuring some great orchestration which is the icing on the cake to a lot of the tracks. Costello would try the same thing nine years later with, mighty like a rose, but where as on that record he threw absolutely everything at it, making it overblown and bloated, on, imperial bedroom, it's done just about right. A lot of people argue that the album doesn't have any great songs on it, I strongly disagree. Beyond belief, the long honeymoon, and especially, man out of time, are excellent tracks. Mentions should also go to,...and in every home, you little fool, and, the loved ones. The ballads, almost blue, kid about it, and, town cryer, are all lovely too. Imperial bedroom is a majestic piece of work, every track adds to the listening experience, and Costello is on the kind of form he wouldn't be in again for quite a while. "  [+]  Reply

Desertshore mixes the darkest sonic landscapes of The Marble Index with the warm innocence of Chelsea Girl. Cale's arrangements are avant-garde at its most substantial, and Nico's vocals are always measured in their sobriety without giving the impression that she doesn't care about the music. Every time Nico plays the piano it sounds heartbreaking, and each noise Cale recorded in the studio finds its place. All the songs are solid, in the sense that they all have a bunch of elements that make the listen rewarding, and they are easily distiguishable (something that could not be said about her last one). Great album. Complex but simple. Grey but kaleidoscopic."  [+]  Reply

Townes output in 69 was better than anyone else. It was bonkers. And the production here is nearly perfect! Its so bare and breezy and simple and this gives TVZ's songs room to breathe, to float into your ears and heart and make you weep. The lyrics and the actual songs, THE SONGS!!!! are even better here than on Our Mother The Mountain. TVZ had really turned the corner in the intervening few months and turned on his next gear. To keep that sports analogy going just a bit more (I hear your groans, I'm sorry, just one second) This album represents the age 27 season of that star QB, when he is still putting up the big numbers, still scrambling aorund and showing off his gifts, still throwing it deep, but now he's throwing less interceptions, he's reading the game next level, and he goes to the championship! But he loses... and its not close. In this case cuz of a couple 30 somethings who just act as killjoys to his glory and poke holes in his schemes. But he moves onto the next season to regroup and hopefully break through. With Townes, he just continues honing his craft and makes 3 or 4 more classics and wins a couple championships. Okay, and I am done with that. Thank gawd. What I think is amazing about this Self titled Townes album is how effortless it feels. Right from the jump you are treated with one of the breeziest and subtly morunful and confused songwriting feats ever. "For The Sake of the Song" features a gorgeous guitar line from Townes (who much like Joni, is an underrated guitarist). There's a very subdued little bass line. Some pretty percussion. And over the top of this beautiful and again Breezy sound, Townes just seems to be talking to a friend about his predicament with a relationship. The internal rhyme pattern is detailed but not over the top. And you are just sitting there as the audience marvelling at how deeply thought out and intricate the observations are and how quickly the5+ minute song goes by. And this is true of the whole album. You go through this subtle, shimmering, at times deeply emotional, at other times just comfortably familiar, journey with TVZ, and you enjoy every second being in its presence. The songs here don't jump out at me. When I look at the tracklist for Our Mother The Mountain or his debut, or even Delta Momma Blues, The Late Great Townes Van Zandt or even High Low and In Between, I am struck by 3 or 4 absolute stand outs, totally memorable and singular Townes moments. With this album though, the whole album coalesces and plays just right, one song to the next, that I just know when I finish the album there is not a less than stellar track here, and I wanna push play again, and again. That is probably due to just how warm and simple the production is. There are some more flashy parts, like the groove of the bass on "Waitin' Round To Die" (oh and I suppose this song does stick out on the tracklist, so there is a correction from last paragraph). But those more fl;ashy moments are rare, and they are all in beautiful service to the songs. They make sense. The harmonica and bass groove, so dark and ominous, absolutely pushes this song over the top. It seems like Townes and his producer at the time finally realized the earthy genius of Townes, and that you didn't need bells and whistles to make these songs move mountains. The lone voice and guitar and minimal other things alone can just overcome a listener. This album is proof of that. Other examples of the extra ornamentation working beautfully here is the strangely timed bass drum rhythm on the stunning blues reimagining of "Lungs". And the gorgeous violin backing, and tambourine fun of "(Quicksilver Daydreams of) Maria". Songs like "Don't Take It Too Bad", "Colorado Girl", "None But The Rain", "I'll Be Here In the Morning" and "For The sake of the Song" seem to me like perfect examples of that distinctly Townes way of just being the most inviting, sensitive, singer/songwriter of the folk/country field. Anyway, this album is damn near perfect. And if you wanna know where to get started with becoming a huge Townes fan, here it is your best bet methinks. This album is proof that you can do a TVZ album without added stuff, and it proved that all by himself, Townes Can Zandt! (I'm sorry...) "All the mountains and the rivers And the valleys can't compare To your blue lit dancin' eyes And yellow shining hair I could never hit the open road And leave you layin' there Lay your head back easy, love, Close your cryin' eyes I'll be layin' here beside you When the sun comes on the rise I'll stay as long as the cuckoo wails And the lonesome blue jay cries" -Townes Rating: 9.7/10"  [+]  Reply

You explain whats great about Steely Dan really with two words; Jazz & Cocaine. The bands use of cocaine has been widely chronicalled. It is to cocaine what the Velvet Underground & Nico is to heroin or Surrealistic Pillow is to LSD. This is also one of those informed musicial experiences that just makes you feel smarter by the time the record is over, like you've spend 40 minutes picking the brain of some panel of jazz hepcats. It melds jazz with pop on a level Rumours did but just leaves out that records California country cool AM style. Please oh BEA admin guy increase our chart sizes soon. "  [+]  Reply
