"Ah, feist of the apple commercial. With "the reminder", she brings "mushaboom" quality to most of the album. i wish she could bring more of her personality to broken social scene, because the playful warmth on "i feel it all", "my moon my man", "sealion" and the aforementioned "1, 2, 3, 4" are in...""Ah, feist of the apple commercial. With "the reminder", she brings "mushaboom" quality to most of the album. i wish she could bring more of her personality to broken social scene, because the playful warmth on "i feel it all", "my moon my man", "sealion" and the aforementioned "1, 2, 3, 4" are infectious (and my favs on the album). She's a faint, slinky coo of a delivery with surprising depth in her delivery and writes some catchy tunes as my album favs all attest. The ballads aren't as good, but there are some nice gems like "the limit to your love" and "brandy alexander". i love the note she hits in "the park" and the harmonies in "the limit to your love"."  [+]  Reply

He doesn't sound like he's simply writing odes to marshlands anymore. He has some verve and determination and something resembling rock all the while maintaining the poet-on-his-backwood-porch appeal. He continues his progression to a more assertive "rock" sound on "The Shepherd's Dog"."  [+]  Reply

I'm a big fan of most of his LP releases but this one stands out as a truly exceptional piece of work. His use of loops can easily repel the casual listener who doesn't appreciate the intricacies of electronic music. From a distance it is repetitive and cold but the genius of The Field's art is that the reality is the complete opposite of the distant, casual listener. Once you accept the invitation to enter this world that Willner has created then the subtle overlayering and texture begin to present themselves with real warmth. It is packed full of intricate shifts/changes whilst maintaining the hypnotic, repetitive, looping structure that holds it all together. The best way to describe the experience for me is stepping into an expansive soundscape with a colourful undulating terrain heading toward a distant pixelated horizon. I absolutely love the sparkling, glittery intro to Everyday which then develops into a 'sublime' 7 minutes of electronic bliss with intermittent sweeping digital breezes and a soothing female voice looping through."  [+]  Reply

"I can't help but grow tired of the Eastern Europe fanfare feel after the first half. Shame though, guy sure can write a song, has a good voice, and a 00s classic in "Nantes". Good album, very good if you're more partial to the stylistic treatment than I am."  Reply

As on the rising, Springsteen was always better when he had something to write about. 9/11 was the rising, magic, was the aftermath of that terrible tragedy, most notably, George W Bush, and the Iraq war. Magic, was a an angry Springsteen, but the anger was smothered in a pop sheen that makes it his most accessible album since, born in the USA. Radio nowhere, is an interesting opener, undoubtedly Springsteen, but also sounds nothing like he's done before. The E streeters are on top form on, you'll be coming down, and, livin' in the future, which sounds like a hybrid of, tenth avenue freeze out, and, glory days. The standouts on, magic, are the wonderful pop of, girls in their summer clothes, the brooding title track, and the angry and blistering, last to die. Devil's arcade,and, gypsy biker, concern the Iraq war and it's consequences. I'll work for your love, is a personal favourite, and closing track, Terry's song, a tribute to springsteen's personal assistant, who had recently lost his life, is beautiful, one of Bruce's great acoustic tracks. There's no weak songs here, from the orchestral like, your own worst enemy, and the excellent, long way home. Lyrically, magic, is heavy, but is thoroughly enjoyable due to its musical delivery. Powerful stuff. "  [+]  Reply

Perhaps that’s because of what QOTSA where when the recorded this album; Songs for the Deaf is one of the all-time best straight rock albums, I’d recommend it but chances are you already have it. Era Vulgaris is not a straight rock album at all. Era Vulgaris is offbeat, ugly and clunky. Era Vulgaris is also a record that I adore to pieces. This album however needs a fair bit of explaining. The title means “common age” and refers to the decadent, self-absorbed culture of today. Josh Homme is rarely his charming rocker self, instead taking the role of a spoilt, modern brat and sarcastically ripping them with their own tongue. If you will, this album is a satire of the YouTube generation. The lyrics have a very Tom Sawyer-ish feel about them. “I’m Designer” is a blast if you get this concept. The drums are clunky on this track, the guitar screeches repeatedly while the lyrics efferminately declare “We all have our own style and bag-age, why hump it yourself?”. In the chorus Homme’s true voice comes out, calling the verses “lies” and bemoaning his plastic existence. The sound is appropriately off-beat; the chords sound like they were devised with random rolls of dice. This isn’t a metal album at all, but the sound is robotic and mechanical melody certainly wasn’t one of the priorities, focusing on repeating weird noises until they have dug so far into your brain they work. QOTSA have always been a hypnotic band too, I mean c’mon, they named an album “Lullabies to Paralyze”. Era sees a lot of this, the opening track “Turning on the Screw” has on odd solo (?) where Homme declares “you sound like this” before all the instruments repeat the same sustained sound over and over. It’s witty and odd stuff, the kind of thing I can see people really hating if they aren’t into some good old fashioned sound lashing. On “Battery Acid” the drums just pound the same beat over and over, the only difference is they get louder and louder as the band ramp up the intensity. Also “Robots! Robots! Brain Washed Babies!” Is the greatest hook ever. Era is an eclectic mix too. Track 7 drastically changes gear to a straight blues song, in text slang of course, “Make It Wit Chu”. Josh is back on his charming sexy self and is a welcome return. Overall though QOTSA tongue is firmly in their cheek, I fear I have made this sound too arty when infact it is big, dumb noisy fun with a brainy twist. This album is a divisive choice; I know people who despise it and people who love it. You won’t know which one you are until you try it yourself. Worse comes to the worse, it’s a cool bit of album art to have on you iPod."  [+]  Reply
