The must-have album if you grew up in the seventies. more
It has always reminded me of Morrison (Jim) twenty years later... and for me, that’s the highest compliment possible. more
The artist is the one who puts all their pain at the service of the whole world. They were too ahead for us poor bastards. more
Epilogue in a car crash. more
The existentialist spleen of Seattle. Reunion with the counter-cocks. more
A raw diamond of rare brilliance carved in space. more
When a transfusion of lysergic acid becomes the cornerstone of post-punk. Tom Verlaine is simply one of the greatest guitarists of all time. more
Not always sharp, but "Il Vile" is a HUGE album like this. more
Proto-punk still in an embryonic stage. The destruction of the archetype in the reckless use of musical instruments. The visionary language of beat meeting noir, glam, heretical litanies, and tribal sounds. The peace of the senses playing with demonic chaos. This and much more. more
A modest rock group that becomes the best pop band of its generation (and actually of those to come). "Revolver" and "Sgt Peppers" are the best. more
Pleasure and pain that go hand in hand. Dogville at its peak. more
Better a chemical castration. more
I might be a heretic, but I've always preferred them to Tool. "Mer De Noms" and "Thirteenth Step" are two albums that alone devour the entire rock scene of the new millennium. more
Fragile and reckless lo-fi mastery. "Attack On Memory" is one of the standout gems of this decade. more
People say they are overrated; if only they were all overrated like this. more
Valuable composers sacrificed in that time on the altar of the mainstream: a masterpiece (Parachutes), two good level albums ("A Rush Of Blood To The Head" and "Viva La Vida"), and many mediocrities alternating with just as many obscenities. In my opinion, there is much worse. more
An opium alkaloid with a nicotine flavor. Music for solitary wanderers and clumsy lovers. more
always beloved, since childhood... more
Scarsely in shape, likable in substance. In certain social contexts, they are the right group to boost one's chances of disappointing casual sex. more
The funeral after the harakiri. more
