Let It Die»rank: 642par: Feist
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Canadian singer Leslie Feist has served as a guest vocalist for Norwegian folkies Kings of Convenience, Toronto power-pop troupe Broken Social Scene and - under the frightening name 'Bitch Lap-Lap' - the hairy female rapper Peaches. But her unruly resume hardly prepares you for the emotionally rich, softy sensual music on her major label debut. Moving from tortured torch songs such as 'Lonely Lonely' to pulsating originals like 'Mushaboom', it also contains stunning remakes of Ron Sexsmith's ... |

Release The Stars»rank: 2801par: Rufus Wainwright
Chroniques et points de vue: :Recorded in Berlin and executive produced by the Pet Shop Boys' Neil Tennant, Rufus Wainwright's fifth album offers an ounce of restraint from the man that dressed up as Sir Lancelot's crossed girlfriend Lady Shallott on the cover of his last. Well, not really. Having fallen in love and curbed his self-destructive streak, the New York-born singer-songwriter has certainly sharpened his wit on Release the Stars but the songs remain as ornate and over-the-top as ever, drawing as ... |

Volta»rank: 5196par: Bjork
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Björk's main asset as a musician is her fearlessness. Since the end of the Sugarcubes and the pop-dance of Debut, she has released progressively more experimental records. But after well over a decade of going further and further out, Volta steps back. Make no mistake; this is Björk, and so it's still fabulously weird. Like 2004's mesmerizing Medúlla and the 2005 soundtrack for Drawing Restraint 9, the songs are blissfully peculiar, with narratives about love, offspring, aliens...you ... |

Sky Blue Sky»rank: 4237par: Wilco
Chroniques et points de vue:From : After their wild experimental streak of the past decade, Wilco's sixth studio album might feel like a bit of a comedown. Sky Blue Sky is mellow, moody, and uncharacteristically monotone, opening with a pleasant jangle and Jeff Tweedy singing a simple song: 'Maybe the sun will shine today, the clouds will blow away.' He doesn't even follow it up with a barbed punchline. Could it be that the restless Chicago band has settled back into its ... |

In Our Bedroom After the War (With Bonus DVD)»rank: 1963de: Arts & Crafts
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Montreal's Stars are certainly a theatrical bunch (and not just because co-frontman Torquil Campbell is also an actor). Their passionate delivery of love and breakup songs--often sung dialogue-style between male frontman Campbell and female lead Amy Millan--is a compelling combination of musicianship and dramatic intensity. ln 0ur Bedroom After the War is similar in style to Set Yourself on Fire--albeit a little gentler and more intimate in tone--capturing the many varied elements that Stars do best. 'Midnight ... |

A Tribute to Joni Mitchell»rank: 6416par: Various Artists (Collections)
Chroniques et points de vue:From : Tribute records live or die by the performers' ability to interpret the subject's work in new and inventive frameworks, or by how well they evoke the spirit of the original recordings. Joni Mitchell's poetic folk and jazz offers infinite possibilities for the former, which makes the notion of this collection by indie rockers, pop divas, and country and folk practitioners most appealing. Not surprisingly, for most of the men it turns out to be more of ... |

Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga»rank: 5092par: Spoon
Chroniques et points de vue: :Something happened to Spoon between records five and six--they got big. lt's not as if these unprepossessing Texans were unpopular before, but after Gimme Fiction, their music was everywhere. There was Britt Daniel, who has since moved to 0regon, singing karaoke on cult favorite Veronica Mars, there was his soundtrack for deadpan Will Ferrell vehicle Stranger Than Fiction, and then there were the countless times their tunes, especially 2002's 'The Way We Get By,' appeared in other movies ... |

Detours»rank: 1666par: Sheryl Crow
Chroniques et points de vue: :Thematically, Detours may not seem like much of a detour to Sheryl Crow fans. Her politics pour out of these songs the way you might expect them to if you caught wind of her epic cross-country bus trip, with the activist Laurie David, to promote environmental awareness months prior to this release. From the quiet, faraway-sounding opener 'God Bless This Mess'--a novel in a song--to the catchy but thought-provoking 'Gasoline,' it's clear that Crow has more on her ... |

Ongiara»rank: 121par: Great Lake Swimmers
Chroniques et points de vue:From :There is a hushed grace to each Great Lake Swimmers release, a wonderfully fragile quality--a la Bonnie Prince Billy or Songs: 0hia--that is responsible for their devoted, near-religious fan base. While Great Lake Swimmers have been slowly building excitement with their previous two releases, 0ngiara is truly on a whole other level, deserving to move them from buzz-worthy to legendary. Singer/songwriter Tony Dekker and company hit all the magical marks on this disc; the fragility is palpable, ... |
