THE REVIEW
"You're tearing me apart/Crushing me inside..." is how Apart begins, the first gem of Archive's masterpiece.
A masterpiece of despair, a despair expressed through the canons of high-ranking psychedelia. Very long songs, immense spaces, and one gets the feeling of witnessing something eternal.
The voice immediately strikes for its similarity to Thom Yorke's, and it's not the only comparison we can make with Radiohead: throughout all ten tracks, there is an existentialism reminiscent of OK Computer, and it can be said that Finding it so hard is an Idioteque raised to the third power, also boundless (15 min!).
Other highlights... Numb, obsessively on point; Meon, so sweet, wonderful "does anybody want to hear the things I have to say, I feel today? if I'm the only one I'd rather die"; Goodbye, a stunning ballad built almost solely on voice and electronic drums. Fool, epic, reminiscent of Pink Floyd.
As my trusted seller once said, this is "the album Pink Floyd would make now". And I'm glad I believed him. After all, it's 20 euros for a lifetime.
