On And On»rank: 1152par: Jack Johnson
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Jack Johnson has found himself a groove. lndeed, he Hawaiian surfing champion turned alternative pop-folk star really hasn't changed things one iota for his sophomore release. Fans of Brushfire Fairytales should be delighted with the results. The groove is a mellow one--most of the 16 tracks here are semi-acoustic--and that easy-going spirit filters into Johnson's lyrical philosophies. 'What will be will be / And so it goes' he sings on 'Times Like These,' the ... |

Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace»rank: 1684par: Foo Fighters
Chroniques et points de vue:From : ln 1997, Foo Fighters teamed with alt-rock production cornerstone Gil Norton to make their best album, The Colour and the Shape. Ten years later, they've regrouped with Norton for a disc that's more sophisticated and diverse, if a tad less rockin'. The curveballs include 'Stranger Things Have Happened,' a solo soul-searcher where leader Dave Grohl's accompanied by just his acoustic guitar and a ticking metronome, and 'Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners,' an acoustic ... |

For Emma Forever Ago»rank: 4694par: Bon Iver
Chroniques et points de vue: :Bon lver's hermit indie-folk (story goes Justin Vernon recorded the album on his own during time spent secluded in the woods) delivers the kind of spare intimacy that only a home-recorded solo album can. For Emma, Forever Ago sounds a bit desolate, admittedly lonely, an enigmatic one-way communication. But, it's awfully beautiful. Vernon's disarming falsetto which sounds like Christopher Cross crossed with Antony Hegarty, oddball tape loops, distorted synthesizers, and nods to modern R&B (Blindsided) ... |

Greatest Hits»rank: 1195par: Blue Rodeo
Chroniques et points de vue:From :lt's somehow fitting that the first definitive career overview from Blue Rodeo opens with a dressed-down but impassioned version of the Bee Gees' orchestral-pop classic 'To Love Somebody.' Not that the veteran Toronto roots-rockers are known for covers: the mark they've carved in Canadian music post-1985 is their own. But, even at their most ambitious, Blue Rodeo remain a bar-band at heart--a canny bunch with all the right rock & roll/pop/country/psych reference points pinned ... |
