Tindersticks -Tindersticks
How would you define this record? A blend of "Indie" music, the dark and romantic singer-songwriter styles of Cohen and Cave (and perhaps others), and a refined baroque pop with an unmistakably British flavor, sublimated by a skewed and somber orchestra that nonetheless does not shy away from classic melodic beauty, even when engaged in distortions and deconstructions. Or should we simply say Pop or Indie or "Chamber" singer-songwriter? Beyond that, Stuart Staples's pen is deeply inspired, offering goosebump-inducing lyrics and melodies, dotted with stunning strings and the keyboards of Dave Boulter. A standout track worth mentioning? "Jism," with an intro that alone is worth the price of the album. One of the most elegant and profound records of the '90s. more

You either love it or hate it. Personally, I adore his entire discography. A fish-out-of-water rapper from the Italian rap scene, crystal clear like few others. more

Grand Funk Railroad -Phoenix
Choosing the best among any album by the band in question is almost impossible for me. This is undoubtedly one of their peaks, and I am deeply fond of it. Great energy, great rock. more
Circa Survive
I join the choir; it’s missing a little something for a 5, but more due to actual limitations of the musical proposal than to compositional abilities. In other words, I am among the very few who have taken the nu-emocore wave of the new millennium seriously, exploring and exacerbating it from a technical and artistic standpoint, and this must be acknowledged. Anthony Green’s childlike timbre may not excite those unaccustomed to certain vocal styles, but it remains a rare gem of depth within the entire reference scene. "On Letting Go" is a good album, "Blue Sky Noise" is a half masterpiece. more
