- Post subject: Rating Game : Choose, Rate++, Review
|
here's a little game ..... i think really interesting.
The Rules:
1. You go to the chart of the member who posted just befor, choose an album (that you haven't listened to yet) from his chart.
2. write a first post saying which album you've chosen.
3. After that you have to rate it.
4. write another post where you give your rating and a review if you want of that album.
5. In next post, the person will do the same (choose an album from the chart of the person who just posted befor).
6. i hope it's clear !!
and so on .....
so i'm gonna start:
you have to choose one of my top 50 albums and rate it (you have to post the rating once done)

actually in your first post you have just to say which album you've chosen. and after that you give the rating and if possible a little review. you can do all at once if you can rate an album that you've never listened to o quickly.
my turn (i have to choose an album i've never listen to before)
album choosen from thomas697 top 50: Raw Power - The Stooges
(i'm gonna post the rating and my impressions later)

Disintegration - The Cure.
8/10
Excellent album! Haunting even. One of the few distinctly "80s sounding" albums that I'm not put off by and can listen to seriously. Loved all the layers and the variety of sounds throughout. This is going on my list...

I had always seen Porcupine Tree albums at my local music store but never attempted to listen to one, on the of chance that it might actually be good. So this gave me an opportunity to listen and give my opinion.
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing (2005)
Did a little bit of reading and found that the album was based on a script written by one of the band members. And with this in mind, the initial listen of Deadwing was one of atmospheric and filmic wonder. The title and opening track sets up a heavy tone to the album but this subsides by track 3 (Lazarus) and in comes the film-quality to the album.
I really did enjoy listening to this album. For a band I never listened to, it was a nice surprise. Undertones of Pink Floyd and other 70s progressive rock but Porcupine Tree still make their own genre, even mixing ideas within a song.
Deadwing - 90/100

The Stooges - Raw Power 70/100
Pretty good album, powerful, intense, the guitars are overwhelming, and iggy's vocals performance is so Punk ! this record can get a better rating, there is just, at the moment, a lack of a leading 5/5 song like Down on the Street in Fun House which pushes you to listen to the album again and again. anyway i need more listening to fully digest this album.

Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy
I have intentionally never listened to this until now!
My Review:
There are some tracks which have nostalgic value and remind me of beloved John Hughes' movies and the mid-80s in general. Just Like Honey, Some Candy Talking and the Hardest Walk are faves. Bottom line though is that these guys were pogie burn-outs who couldn't play musical instruments. They borrowed simple sounds from bands that they liked, played the rudiments and drenched everything in feedback. This played well to disenfranchised kids who were too young to attend the original punk movement or the later American faux-punk movement.
I can't decipher the vocalist's garbled lyrics and the wall of noise doesn't help. The saving grace here is that the catchy pop hooks that they "borrowed" from their favourite bands are really good, even in a very basic form. I don't consider this album good and won't listen to it in its entirety again.
50/100
