Talking Heads -Remain in Light
EverardBereguad
Crazy album from a rhythmic perspective. I can't always stomach David Byrne's singing style, but it's just a matter of personal taste. Crosseyed and Painless is my favorite track. more

The waterboys — This is the sea | DeRank™: 0,00

Certainly one of the peaks of the '80s, as well as the culmination of the process that began with the first two LPs. After this unsurpassable album, Mike Scott rightly changes pace and will gift us another great record, "Fisherman's Blues," his Folk Rock masterpiece. Nevertheless, this remains his most original album. It contains some of his most beautiful and successful songs, not only the hit "The Whole Of The Moon" but also "The Pan Within," "Old England," and "This Is The Sea" (even if a bit too similar). more
Elvis Costello & The Attractions -Punch the Clock
Kism
Costello has never completely convinced me. That said, he is often an excellent craftsman when it comes to the "ultimate pop song." I know his discography, and I find this album to be the only truly convincing one, despite being mysteriously the most underrated. It contains a series of original, personal, and striking gems: "Let Them All Talk," "Everyday I Write The Book," "Pills and Soap," and his masterpiece "Shipbuilding." more
Rain Parade -Emergency Third Rail Power Trip / Explosions in the Glass Palace
Kism
Stunning timeless sounds, an album released 15 years after its natural historical period. A bit garage, very psychedelic, a fascinating trip. The dreamy and enveloping "1 Hour 1/2 Ago" as well as the hit "You Are My Friend" among others. more

X — See How We Are | DeRank™: 0,00

The lineup no longer includes guitarist Billy Zoom, who has been replaced for the occasion by Dave Alvin while awaiting a new position. Leaving behind their punk origins, despite a colder and smoother sound, they address the contradictions of the previous album, presenting us with a series of well-chosen tracks, in addition to the already mentioned "4th Of July (Dave Alvin)" and "I'm Lost," the title track. more
The Three O'Clock -Sixteen Tambourines / Baroque Hoedown
Kism
Other exponents of the "Paisley Underground" led by Michael Quercio, who was close on several occasions to Game Theory, characterized by a psychedelic Power Pop (what could that possibly mean?) and by Quercio's particularly unique voice. This album, the first, contains the debut mini EP with a more Garage sound. Among the tracks, "Jet Fighter" and "And So We Run." more
Blue Öyster Cult -Agents Of Fortune
Lao Tze
Looking closely, the first signs of decline (which will rather be the plunge into the abyss) are already noticeable, but the album with "The Reaper," "Debbie Denise," and "The Return of Vera Gemini" featuring Patti Smith can’t deserve less than a 5... no, no, no. And the lyrics, what can we say about the lyrics? more

The Gun Club — The Las Vegas Story | DeRank™: 2,06

A stunning album, cleaned up from the punk blues sound of the previous masterpieces. Definitely more direct and catchy, it features a "mature" sound and recording, along with a series of unforgettable tracks like "Eternally is here," "Bad America," and "Walkin' with the Beast"... just to mention a few. more

Well... honestly, the Swedish model in the "Country Girl" video (which is not the one by Neil Young) is far more memorable than this album... not bad, but way too conventional for them. more
