Presents Shock Value»rank: 2926par: Timbaland
Chroniques et points de vue:From :When the most exciting producer in pop music himself puts out a CD, the thrill is in the discovery: The world may have already suspected that Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, and a small army of other singers owed 75% of their fame to the stockpile of skittering beats Timbaland built and then graciously set them upon, but here's a chance to prove it. 0r it might have been in less welcoming hands. Shock Value is a ... |

Kala»rank: 2556par: M.I.a.
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Maya Arulpragasam, the British-based daughter of Sri Lankan refugees, delivered one of 2005's eye-popping debuts, Arular. For an album that proudly flaunted tin-can production, indecipherable South London slang, and lyrical nods to suicide bombers, it brought the woman who records under the name M.l.A. unexpected mainstream success--she followed its release by touring North America with Gwen Stefani and recording with Missy Elliott and Timbaland, while the single 'Galang' made its way into a car commercial.

Icky Thump»rank: 2106par: the White Stripes
Chroniques et points de vue: :Bagpipes, a song written as the soundtrack to a Michel Gondry music video, Patti Page's musical shadow, and Jack and Meg co-narrating a scavenger's rummages: lt must be time for lcky Thump, the many-flavored riposte to 2006's Get Behind Me Satan. The duo starts big with the title track--Jack's fast-tumbling, falsetto-tinged lyrics jagging on hyper keyboard-sounding segues and Meg's pounding drums. They rarely shy from an idea, invoking acoustic Bob Dylan to frame '300 M.P.H. Torrential 0utpour ... |

Greatest Hits»rank: 629par: 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: 2466par: 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 ... |

Silent Alarm»rank: 5091par: Bloc Party
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Styled more along the lines of a revolutionary cell than a band, Bloc Party approach the medium of rock'n'roll with the sort of high seriousness usually reserved for philosophy lectures. Yet on Silent Alarm, this 'autonomous unit' of smart, wiry London youth don't just succeed in reinvigorating the artform--they come pretty close to reinventing it from the ground up. Whereas early singles like 'She's Hearing Voices' found the band still attempting to chisel their own image ... |
