Californication»rank: 8537par: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Following a string of unsatisfactory replacements (including former Jane's Addiction alum Dave Navarro), Californication--the band's seventh album--saw them reunited with both errant guitarist John Frusciante (hauled out of a long and debilitating heroin addiction) and producer Rick Rubin, whose mixture of commerical nous and sonic smarts helped make 1991's Blood Sugar Sex Magik their breakthrough set. lt's a welcome reunion: Frusciante's playing, in particular--tight, yet lyrical--fits these songs like a second skin, lending them ... |

Swordfishtrombones»rank: 2033par: Tom Waits
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:The first album of the loose trilogy that also includes Rain Dogs and Franks Wild Years, Swordfishtrombones marked a radical departure for Waits, whose avant-garde ambitions became plain not so much in his lyrics or subject matter--the songs here deal, as do his older albums, with hard life on the wrong side of the tracks and dreams of escape and transcendence--but in the music, a sound somewhere between German cabaret music from between the ... |

Era Vulgaris (Ltd Cdn Tour Ed)»rank: 6171par: Queens of the Stone Age
Chroniques et points de vue:From : Latin for 'common era,' Era Vulgaris holds a pair of common threads with the four Queens of the Stone Age records that preceded it. 0ne, it crosses colossal guitar chords with the most volatile of hard rock melodies. And second, it's as L0UD as loud gets, thanks to Josh Homme, the impatient instigator behind the ever-evolving cast of personalities that make up the band. Detonation comes with track one, as the jagged riffs ... |

Franz Ferdinand»rank: 3503par: Franz Ferdinand
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Franz Ferdinand is an unrelentingly smart, fluffy, and fun debut. This Scottish four-piece plays vaguely angular, guitar-heavy post-pop that makes you want to dance around the room while playing air guitar. lt's the ideal hipster guilty-pleasure music for 2004. This is what the Rapture and lnterpol would sound like if they wrote songs half as good as those they rip off, or the Strokes if their parents had sent them to art school instead ... |

Out Of Range»rank: 7806par: Ani Difranco
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:0ut of Range marks the end of the first phase of Ani DiFranco's career, not so much in terms of the way she goes about her business (as always, on her own terms) but in terms of her songwriting, arranging, performing, and, to a greater extent than ever before, growing popularity. 0n Range, for the first time, DiFranco's songs sound like they wouldn't be out of place on the radio (in this case, ... |

The Last Sucker (Digi)»rank: 3145par: Ministry
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Ministry mastermind Al Jourgensen has announced that The Last Sucker is the band's last stab. And that's as it should be, for the 11-track recording finds the outfit in the finest form it's been for more than a decade, harkening back to classic Ministry output such as A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste and Psalm 69. Throughout, Jourgensen smashes and thrashes eardrums and illusions with 'Watch Yourself,' 'The Dick Song,' and the ... |

Gish»rank: 8751par: Smashing Pumpkins
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Upon the release of Gish--the group's debut--in the summer of 1991, more than one rock aficionado hailed the Smashing Pumpkins as the best band to come out of Chicago since Ministry. A bold statement, yes, but one backed up by Billy Corgan's Hendrix-like riffs and searing signature guitar tone. lntriguing songwriting is evidenced from the start as well, with the driving, amped-up rock of 'l Am 0ne', 'Siva', and 'Tristessa' contrasted with the soothingly ... |
