In Our Bedroom After the War (With Bonus DVD)»rank: 3167de: Arts & Crafts
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Montreal's Stars are certainly a theatrical bunch (and not just because co-frontman Torquil Campbell is also an actor). Their passionate delivery of love and breakup songs--often sung dialogue-style between male frontman Campbell and female lead Amy Millan--is a compelling combination of musicianship and dramatic intensity. ln 0ur Bedroom After the War is similar in style to Set Yourself on Fire--albeit a little gentler and more intimate in tone--capturing the many varied elements that Stars do best. ... |

Plans»rank: 1592par: Death Cab for Cutie
Chroniques et points de vue: :When an indie-rock band as intimately and fiercely loved as Death Cab for Cutie makes the inevitable major label jump, it often telegraphs a painful death. Witness Husker Du, the Replacements, Nirvana--hell, even R.E.M. After a successful four-album run on tiny Seattle imprint Barsuk, however, Death Cab for Cutie just might buck the trend on its Atlantic premiere. Yes, you can grumble about the production (a little too slick), the proportion of ballads (a little too many) ... |

Lust Lust Lust»rank: 6310par: Raveonettes
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Six years after making their distortion-drenched debut with the Whip lt 0n mini-album, the Raveonettes' passion for rock & roll fundamentals remains undiminished. The Danish duo's third full-length release once again celebrates black leather and white noise, saccharine sweet harmonies and sinister verses, and, most of all, the Ronettes' sense of order and the Jesus and the Mary Chain's taste for chaos. But give Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo credit for keeping things fresh even ... |

Greatest Hits (W/2 New Tracks)»rank: 440par: Smashing Pumpkins
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The Smashing Pumpkins' greatest-hits album, Rotten Apples, traces the band's evolution (or devolution, depending on your feelings about the band's radical sonic shift in the mid-'90s) from its early days to its status among the kings of alt rock. For fans of the Pumpkins' beginnings as a tripped-out indie/art rock act, Apples opens with some of the band's strongest material. 'Siva' and 'Rhinoceros' (from Gish, the Pumpkin's first--and arguably best--album) seamlessly mixed dream pop with noisy ... |

Reunion Tour»rank: 4205par: Weakerthans
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This Canadian quartet has always excelled at mixing pop hooks with slice-of-life lyrics that earn comparisons to short story masters like Grace Paley and Raymond Carver. The curiously titled Reunion Tour (four years between albums but they never disbanded) ups the lyrical ante ever more with contagious tunes like 'The Last Last 0ne,' 'Hymn of the Medical 0ddity,' and 'Relative Surplus Value.' Not to mention 'Tournament of Hearts,' easily the best song ever written about the ... |

In Our Nature»rank: 5883par: Jose Gonzalez
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Names like Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, and Tim Buckley are often used together, not necessarily to describe one exact sonic style of singer, but more as incredibly passionate verbs, to identify the strong emotions evoked when listening to these late legends' sparse melodies. Swedish-based Argentinian musician José González is likely to hear those classic names a lot in his future. González received critical underground love from his 2003 debut disc Veneer, but garnered more widespread attention ... |
