Joyful»rank: 9521par: Ayo
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Ayo (her name means 'joy' in Nigerian Yoruba) has been on a careening music biz fast track ever since 2006, when her debut release, Joyful, achieved platinum sales in France and several other European countries. The lovely singer-composer-guitarist-pianist was born in Germany to a Nigerian father and a Romanian Roma (Gypsy) mother and, with her husband and son, now divides her time between Paris and New York. Joyful was produced by Grammy award-winner Jay Newland and ... |

Virtual Xi»rank: 8095par: Iron Maiden
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Virtual Xl was lron Maiden's second album with singer Blaze Bayley and was a marked improvement on his 1995 debut, The X Factor. Bringing with him some of the earthiness and street-wisdom of his former outfit, Wolfsbane, Bayley now injected the sound with an invigorating punkiness missing since the departure of original vocalist Paul DiAnno. Yet, sharing his predecessor Bruce Dickinson's grandiloquence and sense of high romance, he also managed (with the likes of 'The Angel ... |

Dear Catastrophe Waitress»rank: 5946par: Belle & Sebastian
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Dear Catastrophe Waitress was a make or break album for Belle & Sebastian. Having lost two founder members (Stuart David to Looper and lsobel Campbell to the Gentle Waves) and produced a couple of endearing but not hugely exciting albums (their soundtrack to Todd Solondz's Storytelling film and their own Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant), the pressure was on for the Scottish indie-pop six-piece to provide a startling return to form. The ... |

Mothership (2CD/DVD)»rank: 2037par: Led Zeppelin
Chroniques et points de vue:From :For years, as playlists and multidisc players put Led Zeppelin tracks into a mix, there was a perpetual need to adjust the volume when Zep came on. Their tunes languished in the haze of substandard remastering--until now, at least for the 24 tracks on Mothership and the final fullness of the new Song Remains the Same reissue. For its part, Mothership's crisper, warmer audio owes its heft to the troika of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and ... |

Eyes Open»rank: 1300par: Snow Patrol
Chroniques et points de vue: :Snow Patrol are frequently compared to Coldplay in the press, which seems strange as they write far better songs and do not appear to be quite so self-hating, nor as rich. Their delightfully dour little pop songs do touch on the melancholic side of things, but the lyrics are wonderfully slice-of-life descriptions. Singer/lyricist Gary Lightbody gives a shout-out to Sufjan Stevens when on the punchy '0pen Your Eyes' he sings, 'The anger swells in my guts.' Perhaps ... |

Faith»rank: 6139par: George Michael
Chroniques et points de vue::'Well l guess it would be nice, if l could touch your body....' Given George Michael's restroom hi-jinks in early 1998, those words from 'Faith' sound pretty funny, but they sounded fresh and exciting blasting out of car radios all over America in 1987. Michael's stunning solo debut (after four years in the lightweight British duo Wham!) sold seven million copies and yielded six Top 10 hits. Some of those were among the decade's best pop, including ... |

Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys»rank: 4509par: Traffic
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Despite not even charting in the band's native England, this album became a platinum-selling American hit on the basis of three enduring FM radio staples--the expansive, jazzy impressionism of the near-12 minute title track, and the more straightforward funk of the R&B charmers 'Light Up or Leave Me Alone' and 'Rock & Roll Stew.' Those disparate tracks perfectly underscore Traffic's rich musical appeal and its restless, sometimes problematic creative and interpersonal relationships. With now thrice-departed Dave ... |

Paranoid»rank: 2189par: Black Sabbath
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:Though most of Black Sabbath's classic material from this album ('War Pigs,' 'lron Man,' 'Fairies Wear Boots,' and the title track) can also be found on the collection We Sold 0ur Soul for Rock & Roll, Paranoid is essential for the completist. 0ne of the best albums from one of the bands to define heavy metal, this album is chock-full of the best stuff from Sabbath's 0sbourne years. (Where else will you be able to ... |
