Kid A»rank: 5719par: Radiohead
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Radiohead may well be the most courageous band in Britain. Their second album, The Bends, was a success both critically and commercially, and they followed it up with an album of epic prog-rock, 0K Computer, that would have destined a lesser band to commercial failure and, eventually, obscurity. lnstead, it was almost universally hailed as one of the finest albums ever recorded. So it should come as no great surprise that their fourth album, Kid A, is even more experimental, owing ... |

My Blueberry Nights»rank: 6444par: Soundtrack
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Cinephiles will know My Blueberry Nights as Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai's first American movie; music fans will know it as Norah Jones' first movie, period. Not only does she play one of the leads, but she also contributes a new song, 'The Story,' to the soundtrack. Backed by brushed drums, a stand-up bass, and a cool piano, Jones is at her jazziest and sultriest, oozing a sly honky-tonk, come-hither sensibility. Ry Cooder's score is represented by a trio of tracks; ... |

Show Your Bones»rank: 5560par: Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Chroniques et points de vue: :With Show Your Bones, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs follow up to the heralded Fever to Tell Karen 0 economizes on the screaming that so marked the trio's debut EP. And oh how she exceeds her oft-noted influences (PJ Harvey and Chrissie Hynde, for two): Whether she's hanging back with a staggered beat on Phenomena, or riding on the kick-drum-pounded opening to Honeybear, she's always ready to disappear in a burst of Nick Zinner's guitars and Brian Chase's drums. The YYYs thrill precisely ... |

Sky Blue Sky»rank: 5576par: Wilco
Chroniques et points de vue:From : After their wild experimental streak of the past decade, Wilco's sixth studio album might feel like a bit of a comedown. Sky Blue Sky is mellow, moody, and uncharacteristically monotone, opening with a pleasant jangle and Jeff Tweedy singing a simple song: 'Maybe the sun will shine today, the clouds will blow away.' He doesn't even follow it up with a barbed punchline. Could it be that the restless Chicago band has settled back into its gentle Americana roots--or does ... |

A Lesson In Crime»rank: 4436par: Tokyo Police Club
Chroniques et points de vue: :lt's nigh on impossible to review a young, indie rock band anymore without referencing their predecessors, their colleagues who have created the anxiety of influence. Here, David Monks' voice, combined with Joshua Hook's compressed-spray on guitar, certainly conjure early Strokes, but then comparisons just fall short. Tokyo Police Club's command of multiple tempos and rhythmic palettes sets up spacey atmospheres to tumble through, with a hefty blast at their beck and call. There's a languid undertow here, Monks pulling you in with ... |

Daydream Nation»rank: 5276par: Sonic Youth
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:The essential New York rock band of the post-punk era, Sonic Youth care as much about the quasi-symphonic, microtonal art-guitar music of composers like Rhys Chatham and Glenn Branca as they do about the rock-song form, and with Daydream Nation, they struck their greatest balance between the two. The songs hover gorgeously for extended lengths, letting guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo intertwine fragile tonalities as carefully as it's possible to do at wall-shaking volume, while Moore and bassist Kim ... |
