There is obviously no doubt that it's Steely Dan is playing, but the album has a unique sound and sentiment and it is very homogeneous. This does not mean that all songs are equally good. There are clearly tracks you remember better than others; actually there is a couple of songs which are not very memorable on their own; but in the context of "Gaucho" they work fine. The title-track "Gaucho" probably won't be the first song your attention is drawn towards, on the other hand, it could easily turn out to be the song you'll want to re-hear most often with its Incredibly beautiful horn-theme, and of course the song itself is actually very catchy and classic Steely Dan. "Third World Man", was my first favourite, and it is a song of durability too. "Hey Nineteen" is probably the most commercial and catchy number. Nice funky rhythm with some nice blues guitar. "Babylon Sisters" is both funky and dramatic, while "My Rival" is both catchy and has a good funky riff. "Glamor Profession" and "Time Out of Mind " are fine well-produced tracks, which probably do not quite have special qualities of the rest of the album. After "Gaucho" the group took a break for nearly twenty years until "Two Against Nature" in 2000. So for many years "Gaucho" was thought of as a farewell work - and a very commendable one of its kind. Fortunately, Becker and Fagen are together again, and they have so far recorded two more fine albums."  [+]  Reply

"This is really uneven. It has a couple great songs in "Plush" and "Creep," but it's mostly filler, especially on the second half."  Reply

The more overt expression of alienation through punk that typified the anthems of the Sex Pistols and the caricatured stances of The Ramones, had been refined by Husker Du. As the writer Piero Scaruffi put it, "Punk desperation was still ubiquitous, but it was no longer expressed in the form of primal wrath. It had become a lyrical state of the soul in a pathological state of the mind." The ground-breaking musical language of Husker Du emphasised the personalized experience - pensive emotions and fragile states' of mind - as opposed to confrontation. This was achieved through the prism of catchy folk-ish melodies that underlay a 'hardcore' sonic 'wall of sound'. From the formal point of view, 'New Day Rising' is the groups most flawless album.

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

The musical journey transitions to "Part III", a more reflective, psychedelic piece, which in the end it simply grounds to a halt for about 40 seconds making the sound of silence the sound of just another instrument. "Part IV" is its most recognizable moment: a beautiful melody set in the background of an electronically-generated rhythm section. "Part V" is a longer piece reminiscing the music of "Tangerine Dream" while "Part VI" wraps up this beautiful journey with what sounds like the sound of seagulls flying over the sea."  [+]  Reply

Firstly he fused pop and electronics in an experimental way and thus changed the very notion of what a 'pop song' is. Secondly, he invented meta-pop music by taking cheap melodies (the kind that are used at the music-hall, on tv commercials, by nursery rhymes) and added a strong rhythmic base and counterpoint of synthesizer. Finally, by the time of the release of 'Before And After Science' (1977), he had acquired a sinister and surreal quality to his catchy ditties. The album counterposes renaissance madrigal's with a disco rhythm to create a sound that is unlike either. What emerges on 'Before And After Science' is a music that focus on 'sound' - a kind of mathematically structurd musique concrete in which composition is abolished. In this sense, Eno had created an ambitious programme of 'music for non-musicians' that was the equivalent of Schoenberg's electronic music. With 'Before And After Science', Eno has produced a brilliant and bleak masterpiece - a vision of the end of civilization in which humankind is dominated by robots. "  [+]  Reply

I think I was about a couple of tracks into this record when I realised that wasn't the case, Ocean Boulevard isn't just a great piece of work but one that elevates the rest of Lana's discography. The opening run of tracks is just as good as on NFR, the effortless emotional build of The Grants, the full production of the title track and the lyrical directness of the second half of Sweet work incredibly together. They also set the stage for Lana's most contemplative and thoughtful album, breaking into new ground while drawing on the fear of being left in the past. This is most successful on A&W which mirrors the lyrical themes of her earliest records but adds some depth to them with its downbeat frustration as she tries to trace the roots of the unfulfilling and demeaning relationships that she used to only cover at a surface level. For me Ocean Boulevard matches NFR in its earlier tracks but it's deeper into the tracklist that it starts to pull away from it, it stays compelling to the end. There are some especially strong melodies on tracks like Paris Texas and Candy Necklace and a warmth to others like Let the Light In. Each of the tracks I've highlighted has a really effective feature on it, Lana's sense for collaboration is at its best here, we're a long way from unnecessary rap features being stuffed into dull tracks. Only Bleachers doesn't quite pull his weight vocally, but his involvement in Margaret feels fair considering his personal connection to the track. It sets up a great finale as things come full circle with the looseness of the first few seconds of the album being mirrored by the almost conversational conclusion to Margaret. Except the album just keeps on going and this is still what really confuses me. Fishtail, Peppers and Taco Truck are all really good but they feel like bonus tracks within the structure of the album. I really enjoy the switch up in sound towards something more hip hop influenced, Peppers especially is one of the catchiest tracks of the past year, it's a shame that it just doesn't fit. I think these songs could have made for a really good EP instead of being grafted onto the end of the record, it's a bit annoying though the fact that it stands out so clearly as an issue shows how well the rest of Ocean Boulevard is structured."  [+]  Reply
