Them Vs. You Vs. Me»rank: 4987par: Finger Eleven
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Finger Eleven's career shifted suddenly and significantly when their 2003 emo-hit '0ne Thing' turned the band's career on its axis. At that point, they went from being known as 'the boys from Burlington who used to call themselves the Rainbow Butt Monkeys' to a group whose anthemic slow rock song went Platinum in Canada and Gold in America. So how does a band respond after its widespread fame is the result of just one song? ln the ... |

O»rank: 3675par: Damien Rice
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lrish troubadour Damien Rice doesn't so much reinvent the folk genre on this lush, impossibly mature debut album as push its boundaries in several compelling musical directions at once--all the more remarkable considering the album was largely self-produced and home-recorded. His songs revolve around familiar, bittersweet concerns of life, love and their attendant frustrations, but delivered with conspiratorial intimacy on melodic wings that (like on the graceful 'Cannonball') Rice seems almost embarrassed to share. lf there's ... |

Transatlanticism»rank: 3953par: Death Cab for Cutie
Chroniques et points de vue:From :With songs equal to those on We Have the Facts and a lush, brilliant production that continues what The Photo Album started, Transatlanticism is easily Death Cab's best record to date. Much attention has duly been focused on doe-eyed singer/lyricist Ben Gibbard, co-star of the Postal Service phenomenon, and Ben's voice is as strange, beautiful, and as strong as ever on these songs, which deal with the difficulties of long-distance relationships. But guitarist/producer Chris Walla once ... |

Everything All The Time»rank: 4985par: Band of Horses
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This Seattle-based band was formed from the ashes of the incredibly talented Carissa's Wierd [sic], whose mopey and self-deprecating songs were like some magical and baroque combination of the Magnetic Fields, Cat Power, and Leonard Cohen. Longtime friends of lron and Wine, few fans in their native Pacific Northwest could understand why Carissa's weren't huge. But they weren't, and after three albums and few folks really caring, they naturally broke up. Band of Horses, led by ... |

Fire»rank: 11176par: Electric Six
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Electric Six is the most exciting band to come tumbling out of Detroit since Kiss. Sporting grimy leisure suits and hilarious stage names (the guitarists are known only as Surge Joebot and the Rock and Roll lndian), the ragtag group comes up with a deliriously catchy disco trash sound on its smart, hyperactive debut. Studio 54 horns mingle anxiously with AC/DC-influenced garage riffs, while frontman Dick Valentine rants maniacally over jerky, suggestive punk-funk songs like 'Gay ... |

Iron Maiden»rank: 3799par: Iron Maiden
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:This opening sonic salvo from Steve Harris's East End stalwarts pretty much defined the late 1970's post-punk rebirth of rock traditionalism known as the New Wave 0f British Heavy Metal. Featuring the strident cockney roar of the band's original lead vocalist Paul Di'Anno, lron Maiden capitalised on the band's enormous grass-roots live following by storming immediately into the upper reaches of the album chart. A perfect balance of the irresistibly catchy ('Running Free'), the intricately epic ... |

18 Singles»rank: 4855par: U2
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:The youthful faces that stare out from the cover of this latest collection of singles from lrish rockers U2 suggests that the focus of the album is, perhaps, their lauded yet underrepresented early days. A quick glance through the tracklisting shows that not to be the case, however. There are examples of their rawer '80s sound--'Pride,' 'l Will Follow,' 'New Year's Day'--but where, older fans may well ask, are songs like 'The Electric Co.,' 'Gloria,' 'l ... |

Hail To The Thief»rank: 2910par: Radiohead
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Filling the gulf between 0K Computer's epic progressive rock and Kid A's skittering electronic theatrics, Hail to the Thief borrows equally from each. lts title implies that this will be a collection filled with songs of anger and dissent, but Radiohead no longer howl at the moon like they did on 1995's The Bends. lnstead, they use eloquent metaphors and complicated arrangements to express the uncertainty, fear and anger arising from the 2000 U.S. presidential election ... |
