The Baroness»rank: 147par: Sarah Slean
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Sarah Slean's recipe for her musical concoctions is unwaveringly consistent: take a handful of Cabaret-affected melodies, add a sprinkle of musical theatre, then steep that all together in a stockpot of fragile but powerful emotions. With some of the singer's earlier releases, Slean seemed to be trying terribly hard to sound deep and wise; thankfully, that quality has softened somewhat over time. As a result, the music on her fifth CD The Baroness flows more ... |

The Essential Leonard Cohen (Rm) (2CD)»rank: 322par: Leonard Cohen
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This two-disc retrospective traces the Canadian bard's musical maturity from poet and novelist who sang a little to multidimensional artist whose oracular vocals and increasingly rich arrangements are every bit as compelling as his verse. Even when Cohen came to prominence through the 1960s songcraft of 'Suzanne' and 'Bird on a Wire,' the 'folksinger' tag never really fit. Later highlights ranging from the deadpan drollery of 'Tower of Song' and 'Everybody Knows' to the ... |

Greatest Hits»rank: 1184par: Neil Young
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0ne question would be: What took him so long? After all, a contemporary like Van Morrison has sold boatloads of his single-disc best-of set to buyers wary of diving into that deep catalog without a primer to get them started. So three and a half decades into his solo career, Neil Young finally delivers his version of that most modest of albums--the pre-holiday 'hits' overview. What's surprising, coming from such a proud maverick, is ... |

Greatest Hits»rank: 1363par: Blue Rodeo
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lt's somehow fitting that the first definitive career overview from Blue Rodeo opens with a dressed-down but impassioned version of the Bee Gees' orchestral-pop classic 'To Love Somebody.' Not that the veteran Toronto roots-rockers are known for covers: the mark they've carved in Canadian music post-1985 is their own. But, even at their most ambitious, Blue Rodeo remain a bar-band at heart--a canny bunch with all the right rock & roll/pop/country/psych reference points pinned ... |

Street Gospels»rank: 1112par: Bedouin Soundclash
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Bedouin Soundclash's third CD, Street Gospels, contains all the highlights of their impressively successful second CD, Sounding a Mosaic, and then some. 0ne quick look at the liner notes shows the positive effects that can come from commercial success: joining the Bedouin boys on this release is Money Mark--of Beastie Boys fame--on keyboards, Bad Brains' bassist (and Street Gospels' producer) Darryl Jenifer, and vocalist Vernon Buckley of '70s reggae band The Maytones.
