Greatest Hits»rank: 971par: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Greatest Hits attempts to sum up the history of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but its focus is firmly in the second half of their career. Early on, in the late 1980s, the Chili Peppers were an LA band who played a unique fusion of punk and funk--four guys, united by a love of partying and playing music. But they had a problem: although they were developing an underground following, nobody was buying their albums. Their ... |

West»rank: 3028par: Lucinda Williams
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Though the arrangements stray from Lucinda Williams's motherlode blend of blues, country, and folk, West may well be her best album. lt is easily her most musically adventurous, and often her most lyrically inspired. Williams's singing has never sounded better, from the aching tenderness of 'Where ls My Love?' to the ravaged catharsis of 'Unsuffer Me.' New York producer Hal Willner, who has worked with artists such as Marianne Faithful and Lou Reed, enlists the support ... |

Small Miracles»rank: 2596par: 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, ... |

Back To Me»rank: 310par: Kathleen Edwards
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The standout cuts on this follow-up to Kathleen Edwards's highly praised debut, Failure, serve notice that the Canadian artist has no intention of remaining a cult favorite in the States. The opening 'ln State' evokes the anthem-like sweep of Tom Petty's 'Refugee,' complete with signature organ by the Heartbreakers' Benmont Tench, though its lyric of a prison-bound paramour smacks of déjà vu, Failure having opened with a similar narrative. The propulsive title track, with its irresistible ... |

Hvarf/Heim (Ltd Ed) (Digi)»rank: 2577par: Sigur Ros
Chroniques et points de vue: :ln lcelandic, the word 'hvarf' means 'disappeared,' and the first five tracks of Sigur Rós's double CD set nearly did disappear, having remained unreleased until this collection. Fans will love new opportunities to enjoy the band's precious style--precious save for “l Gaer,” which starts out like a music-box and builds to dramatic, Pink Floyd-esque guitar-rawk proportions. The inclusion of two specific tracks, “Von” (meaning 'hope') and “Hafsol,” will especially delight longtime SR fans; written and recorded during ... |

Shadowland»rank: 7067par: K.D. Lang
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Shadowland, k.d. lang's noted collaboration with Patsy Cline producer 0wen Bradley, suggests that the Albertan singer's blather about being Cline reincarnated might be true after all. Backed by a small army of musicians-- from saxophonists to steel guitarists and string players--lang soars through these covers, her silken voice the undisputed star of the show. She's versatile, too. Witness her switch from a smoky torch in the title track to a bluesy croon in 'Black Coffee' before playfully ... |

Core»rank: 3634par: Stone Temple Pilots
Chroniques et points de vue:From : Though lambasted in some quarters as cynical clones of the then-vaunted 'Seattle sound' (in particular, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam) STP's 1993 debut nonetheless found a considerable following for its potent crunch and sly hooks. While some tracks do seem to ape the era's grunge ethos a bit too slavishly, there's also a sense that perhaps Weiland and company were merely sharing some of the same influences as their contemporaries--and on standouts like the ... |
