Superunknown»rank: 5257par: Soundgarden
Chroniques et points de vue:From :'Fell on Black Days,' indeed. Seattle sludge slingers Soundgarden made a living out of cathartic, woe-is-me wailing (we're talking the banshee vocals of Chris Cornell and the crypt-creaking guitar of Kim Thayil), but this wallowing in grim depression ironically proved to be the band's most uplifting career effort.

Sleep Soundly»rank: 5309par: Steven Halpern
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0ne of the fundamental criticisms of New Age music is that it puts people to sleep. Here, Steven Halpern, one of the founding fathers of New Age, makes that his mission and, as you might expect, does an effective job of it. Drawing on catalog material from the early 1980s, Halpern builds an attractive collection of delicate, lighter-than-air sonic textures that nicely serves the intended purpose--to fill the silence with something prettier than white noise. Halpern does so by blending electric ... |

Small Miracles»rank: 673par: Blue Rodeo
Chroniques et points de vue:From :What do you expect from a band that has been together for 20 years and released 11 studio recordings? lf you've answered 'more of the same,' then, in Blue Rodeo's case, you'd be exactly right. Small Miracles is upbeat light-country-meets-soft-rock that oscillates between Greg Keelor's Band-esque style and Jim Cuddy's love-leaning lyrics, just like the bulk of their other ten CDs. 'l held you but you held back from me,' sings Keelor on the country-meets-bluegrass track, 'Blue House,' yet another take ... |
