Exceptional voice. Her best album is the first: singing in English at 19, an electronic rock-pop where the sharp edges of sound are nicely softened. Gradually, a slow and relentless decline into the banality that sells so well: musical slowness, vocal whining. In short, a Van Gogh who starts painting signs. Wasted talent. more
Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V. Nice voice, is that all it takes? more
The lyrics are pathetic, the sound terrible and always the same for years. The only merit is having a warm voice, like a radio announcer. So, all this popularity in Italy is absurd. more
Yes, it's true: they are all similar and quite simple. But the sound is pleasant, they’re enjoyable to listen to. Cast no shadow and Talk tonight are particularly engaging. more
I have a strange relationship with them: the music doesn't grab me, I don't like the singer, especially because he always drags his voice. And yet I recognize that they are good. more
Consumable material: after 2 listens of the few decent ones, you're already fed up. The praise of sonic banality, their success is one of the greatest social mysteries. more
Much ado about nothing. more
They shift from depressive melancholy to the joy of a child in the blink of an eye. Robert Smith is not a singer, but a poet. more
The world may come crashing down on you, but he is here to reassure you. The best living anxiolytic. more
He applied ambient elements to "dance" music, but in a much more engaging and emotionally resonant way compared to other past and contemporary artists. Mr. Melodia. more
unequivocal symbol of the current musical degeneration.. more
Taurus is beautiful! Ah, isn't she?! more
Beautiful shit more
I still haven't decided if I prefer this or Solid Air. I probably will never manage to choose! Absolutely stunning record!! more
Incredible album. On first listen, the main influences had escaped me, namely a folk/doom very close to Primordial, combined with the black metal of the early Satyricon, but devoid of the northern and dark atmosphere that characterizes the early releases.
Uncontaminated, melancholic, sublime, and evocative: when extreme music becomes musical quality! more
The final act of Gabriel's Genesis: a dark, captivating double concept that boasts as its main strength (without detracting from Banks and the others, who are immense as always on their instruments) the incredible vocal performance of the brilliant frontman, here at the peak of his ostentatious theatricality and his hallucinatory, visionary songwriting. A monumental work, suspended between haunting and nightmarish atmospheres, and magical, delicate passages. "We've got to get in to get out..." more
It's not my favorite, but it contains my favorite song by the band (L.A. Woman), then "Riders on the Storm", "Love Her Madly", etc... A little gem of an album, in short... more
A masterpiece that gives you goosebumps, with an emotional tension that never falters for a second, often featuring complex, unpredictable structures but with an immediate impact, excellent songwriting to say the least, and a masterful work on the guitars. A milestone. more
First and still unsurpassed work of the Mogwai! After dozens of listens, it still amazes me! more
