Radiohead "Amnesiac" Album Review

"I'm a reasonable man, get off my case."
Amnesiac was recorded in the same sessions as Kid A, which is considered by most fans and critics to be the superior album. I agree that it's more cohesive and flows better as a united work, but I don't think the music itself is really noticeably better. They're both pretty good alternative albums with heavy electronic elements. Kid A has more truly standout tracks, but there's plenty to like about Amnesiac. There's a lot of catchy parts and great moments, and of course plenty of weirdness. A lot of the songs on Amnesiac are actually more like actual songs than on Kid A, with more palatable structures and more traditional instruments. I don't think what Radiohead's become is as interesting as what they used to be in the mid-90's, but their work since the turn of the millennium is still pretty good.

"Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box" starts things off with a nice mellow sound and pleasant beeps and bloops. "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors" has odd computerized vocals and minimal but compelling instrumentation. "I Might Be Wrong" has a good guitar riff going for it, although it does get a bit repetitive. It's followed by another less artificial song, "Knives Out". The next song is "Morning Bell/Amnesiac", another version of a track that originally appeared on Kid A. It's different enough to be interesting although it doesn't branch too far from the original. "Dollars & Cents" is easily the creepiest and most unnerving song on the album. "Like Spinning Plates" is unique sounding with the reversed effect and has a cool atmosphere. "Life in a Glass House" ends the record with a departure for the band, as hard as that is. It has a heavy jazz influence but doesn't seem too out of place. Radiohead is able to maintain an identity as an artist despite the fact that most of their albums can sound quite different.

The Wallflowers "Bringing Down the Horse" Album Review

I knew that One Headlight was mellow, but I didn't think the CD would be this stagnant...
AKA boring.

Really. One Headlight has a nice thing going and it continues once you get to The Difference, but between AND after that, it's soggy, soggy songs that have little to no purpose.

I wouldn't give this to my worst cousin. That'd be torture.

1.3 stars.

Video The Wallflowers: One Headlight (Bringing Down The Horse 97)

So long ago, I don't remember when That's when they say I lost my only friend Well, they said she died easy of a broken heart disease As I listened through the cemetery trees I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn With the long broken arm of human law Now, it always seemed such a waste She always had a pretty face I wondered why she hung around this place (CHORUS) Hey... Come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me and Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight She said it's cold It feels like Independence Day And I can't break away from this parade But there's got to be an opening Somewhere here in front of me Through this maze of ugliness and greed And I seen the sun up ahead At the county line bridge Sayin' all is good and nothingness is dead We'll run until she's out of breath She ran until there's nothin' left She hit the end, it's just her window ledge (CHORUS) Well, this place is old It feels just like a beat up truck I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn Well, it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes This place is always such a mess Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams I think your death, it must be killin' me... Hey, hey, hey Come on try a little Nothing is forever There's got to be something better than In the middle But me and Cinderella We put it all together We can drive it home With one headlight

Johnny Hallyday "A la Vie A la Mort" Album Review

Johnny Hallyday: better than ever
Although I know little French, Johnny Hallyday will take you away like no other. I heard the concert myself in Geneva, Switzerland when he was in tour for A la vie, a la mort. It takes more than simple listening, enjoy this and you will get hooked. It is very powerful music.

Son deuxième dique de diamant!
