Bound By the Beauty»rank:par: Jane Siberry
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Bound by the Beauty seems like a retreat to simplicity after the growing complexity of Jane Siberry's earlier work. The artiness--sometimes self-conscious, sometimes not--has been stripped away to let the songs breathe, and it's more playful than anything that came before. The track 'Hockey,' her homage to the national sport, also makes it her most Canadian album. 'Something About Trains' captures the enduring allure of the train whistle both in words and in slide guitar. Siberry's lyrics continue to have a raw, stream-of-consciousness quality--check the funny 'Everything Reminds ... |

Miss America»rank: 16407par: Mary Margaret O'Hara
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Five painstaking years in the making and more than a decade later still Toronto singer-songwriter Mary Margaret 0'Hara's only significant release (a Christmas EP smartly titled The Christmas EP surfaced a few years later), this 1987 disc stands as one of the most unique--some would say baffling--art-pop records ever made, a missing link between Nico, Kate Bush, and Björk. The skittish 0'Hara--sister of actress Catherine--supported the disc with little touring, quickly slipped back into workaday life in Toronto and pops up only occasionally to add backing vocals to ... |

0 + 2 = 1»rank: 17687par: Nomeansno
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Just about every record by space-punk combo NoMeansNo is adventurous. But where the band might normally be exploring the vast landscape between Herbie Hancock and Slayer, 0 + 2 = 1 stretches the boundaries toward the Doors in one direction and the Meat Puppets in another. Less furious than essential releases like Wrong and The Worldhood of the World (As Such), 0 + 2 = 1 is no less intense. 'Mary' and 'l Think You Know' recall past records, but how to explain the bizarre left turns of ... |

Passenger»rank: 16207par: Tara MacLean
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The name Tara MacLean might give cause to wonder if she is some sort of Sarah McLachlan parody. The truth is not too far off. They are both singer-songwriters-pianists from eastern Canada and MacLean enjoyed some left-of-the-limelight attention during the Lilith Fair. But beyond these immediate factoids, the comparisons to McLachlan end. Musically, Passenger has more in common with Jewel's albums. While Jewel turned her street-musician urchin experience into lyrical source material, MacLean turns to her survival of a rather unusual and not entirely pleasant upbringing by ... |

Pretty Together»rank: 15862par: Sloan
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Even though Sloan's sixth studio album kicks off with the exuberant 'lf lt Feels Good Do lt'--another one of the band's cheeky, mock-metal rockers that seems destined for a beer commercial--Pretty Together also presents a more low-key and heartfelt side to this East Coast power-pop quartet. That's not to say that Sloan are referring to themselves when Chris Murphy--doing his best impression of Paul Stanley of KlSS--sings, 'Are you one of the ones who went and gave up on rock & roll?' in the burly 'Pick lt ... |
