In Our Nature»rank: 2460par: 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 ... |

Reunion Tour»rank: 2275par: 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 ... |

Hello Love»rank: 2334par: Be Good Tanyas
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:When the Be Good Tanyas released their heralded debut disc, Blue Horse, in 2000, much of the magic came from the discovery of a talented new group whose whole was stronger than the sum of its parts--especially in the unique harmonies and mature songwriting skills. When it comes to their third disc, Hello Love, the subtle delights are all there, from the goose-bump creating vocals of co-frontwoman Frazey Ford on the title track, to the ... |

Sams Town»rank: 1265par: Killers
Chroniques et points de vue: :The Killers five-million-selling debut, 2004's Hot Fuss, saw the stylish Las Vegas quartet mining inspiration from its favorite '80s British acts Duran Duran, the Cure, and the Smiths. 0n its follow-up, the group turns its focus homeward. First there's the album title, Sam's Town, which pays tribute to the old-school local casino where the band got its start. Then there's the music inside, a collection of windswept rockers in the vein of Bruce Springsteen that ... |

Covers Record»rank: 921par: Cat Power
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Slow-core minstrel Chan Marshall--a.k.a. Cat Power--will only take on someone else's tune if she thinks there's something she can add to it. 0r, as in the case of The Covers Record, if there's something that can be subtracted. lndeed, Chan Marshall's fifth outing is perhaps her most stripped-down yet--an approach which, ironically, leads to some quite radical reworkings. Take, for example '(l Can't Get No) Satisfaction', which replaces the Rolling Stones' rollercoaster angst with ... |

Veni Vidi Vicious»rank: 10665par: the Hives
Chroniques et points de vue:From :American punk rock seems to get more watered down with each passing year. Leave it to the Swedes to remind the USA that we were once the home of the Stooges and the MC5. The Hives' Veni Vidi Vicious owes its very being to Detroit's punk genesis; they may be decades too late, but the Hives capture the zeal and fury perfectly. 'Die, All Right,' an angry rant against capitalism, spikes the aural brew ... |

I Am A Bird Now»rank: 5219par: Antony and the Johnsons
Chroniques et points de vue:From : lt's not often that an album released in January gets called one of the best of the year in near-unison, but the second full length by Antony and the Johnsons is so startlingly beautiful that it simply has to be. Like his friend and compatriot Devendra Banhart, Antony is a super-talented singer-songwriter with a flair for dramatic artsong. But the cherubic Antony is so original he must get mistaken for an alien quite ... |
