Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier!»rank: 2035par: Corb Lund
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:0ver the course of Cord Lund's decade-long solo career, he has remained the perennial cowboy, bringing with him a torch, a twang, and a penchant for penning lyrics about riding ranges and rustlin' steer. While Lund's previous incarnation--frontman for indie/punk outfit The Smalls--was more political in nature, he has avoided the topic in his solo work, until 2007's Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier! Rather than tackle present-day war stories, however, Lund has chosen to detail historical ... |

Graduation»rank: 4192par: Kanye West
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Kanye West's third in a whimsical trilogy of 'scholarly' albums, Graduation wears its predecessors' badges of success on its sleeve. Matriculation has its rewards, apparently, and it's time to take stock. Lyrically, there's plenty of self-congratulation to attend to, but the real fun comes in the collabs, and West chooses co-conspirators like a kid in a candy store--John Legend ('Good Life'), Coldplay's Chris Martin ('Homecoming'), Mos Def and the Section Quartet (both adorable choices ... |

Mezzanine»rank: 4878par: Massive Attack
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:By the release of 1998's Mezzanine, critics were suddenly of the understanding that Massive Attack were one of the most important bands in the world. Bristol's original trip-hop pioneers had, on previous albums Blue Lines and Protection, fused turntable wizardry to the warmest of soul. With Mezzanine, however, the party had ended; revisiting the murky soundscapes so favoured by former partner and fellow Bristolian Tricky, the comeback single 'Rising Son' muttering edgily about 'cheap ... |

I'm Not There»rank: 1427par: Soundtrack
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Many people have covered Bob Dylan's songs over the years, but few quite like this. 0n the double-disc soundtrack that accompanies Todd Haynes' extremely confounding biopic of the already plenty confounding folk icon, we get the likes of Sonic Youth, Cat Power, Yo La Tengo, the Hold Steady, and Antony & The Johnsons doing their best Dylan impressions and often failing gloriously. Former Pavement frontman Stephen Malkmus does a particularly fine job oozing his ... |

Grace»rank: 3111par: Jeff Buckley
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Resembling at times a soft-sung Robert Plant, Buckley was an intuitive vocalist capable of dizzying arabesques and choir-boy sweetness. He is joined here by a tight band for 10 tracks highlighting his stylistic range--Pearl Jam bluesy on 'Eternal Life,' impossibly serene on Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah,' art-school noisy on 'So Real,' Led Zep daring on 'Mojo Pin.' Unorthodox, this was the debut of '94. --Jeff Bateman |

Begin to Hope»rank: 4170par: Regina Spektor
Chroniques et points de vue: :The style known as 'anti-folk,' as realized by practitioners like Ani DiFranco and Billy Bragg, is derived from a punk aesthetic, and thus tends to be spare and confrontational. But while Regina Spektor's music is anti-folk in the way it subverts the traditional coffeehouse vibe, it's less interested in rebellion and more concerned with the joy of eccentricity, melody and surprise. Begin To Hope is full of surprises, and like her promising major label debut ... |

Takk...»rank: 1891par: Sigur Ros
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Just when this lcelandic crew seemed stuck in loud/soft/loud/ soft rut a la Mogwai or Godspeed You Black Emperor, they release their most beguiling, subtle and beautiful album yet. This album, allegedly the group's first sung in lcelandic rather than their own made-up 'Hopelandic' (not that this listener could tell the difference) is relentlessly joyous, unaffectedly rad and inventive but never just for its own sake. Strings hold an ever more prominent place in ... |
