The Raincoats: Odyshape
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
Post-punk? Low-fi? A female band definitely ahead of its time and out of the ordinary. I bought the album as soon as it was reissued on CD. And I liked it.

    Beautiful stuff spotted today in this land. Post-punk for sure, and lo-fi definitely yes, but the real deal, which precedes by more than a decade the certain indie-rock that sold, compared to the Raincoats, tons more. But the raw and scrappy post-Velvet art of Vicky Aspinall and her companions will remain something unique.

    Here, I've never heard this. Like so many post-punk things, I believe it's purely for age-related reasons, but it's a musical period I know little about.
Recommended by my trusted shopkeeper, it soon turned out to be quite disappointing. And then that booklet, which once you took out of the CD, you could only manage to get back in with a hammer. Forgive me, but I detest rock and roll and the blues.

    I did better, my friend Macaco, first I listened to him, then I made sure to keep him out of my collection.

    In my opinion, you are all crazy, there you go. :P

    For me, however, it’s among the best albums in rock overall, but that's just how it is; tastes are tastes, and there’s not much you can do about it...

    Aho, dear madcat, you have to stick a finger up your ass to know if we’re not gay :)

    I vote for comment number 6 by Macaco as the comment of the month!

    I quote comment 7 by Zanna that praises comment 6 by macaco; who, macaco, has a lot of courage to speak so poorly of an album that isn’t really that bad after all. De gustibus.

    I quote comment number 3. For the first time in my life, I feel like a Christian surrounded by blasphemers.

    I don't like it, just as I don't really like the Rolling Stones. Just like I don't like the blues, just like I don't like cheese.

    how I don't like jazz, rap, funk, soul, afro, ska, and reggae

    I like them up to "Aftermath" and then just some scattered songs. I'm among those who prefer the Beatles; at least they had the good taste to stop at the right moment.

    Yes, Buzzin, but you have some issues, you know :D

    How could you say that you don't like cheese??????

    @Buzzin'--A little beyond Aftermath would be ideal, especially knowing your tastes, Their Satanic Majesties Request cannot be overlooked. And my life piece recorded by them is right there...any Psych soul can't help but love 2000 Light Years From Home to madness.

    Yes, for "Their Satanic," which I see as an exception. I got into the Rolling Stones at the end of the '80s because I was listening to a lot of garage and I therefore feel more affinity with their earlier works.

    More than a parenthesis, it’s their ability to slip into any mood and genre, and to do it well. Their Satanic is dark, drugged, jammy, and astral, much closer to The Piper... than to the Beatles. Even the single She's A Rainbow is irresistible; it’s the hit single that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart would have composed if he had lived in the Flower Power Era.

One of the CDs I’m most attached to. Stuff that's way ahead.

    Crazy stuff, really light years ahead. I personally like "Deceit" even more.

    Extraordinary works that bring together two distant worlds, at least for the time being: the avant prog universe that is more unconventional and the post-punk that is less tied to the song format. Today it would be called post-rock.

    But come on, I wouldn't have said that. Back in the day, I preferred Deceit, for the feeling of numbness at certain points of the album, but I was still an instant fan of theirs. Hi, Maka

I'm certainly not an expert in afro-beat, but I prefer this album to some of Fela Kuti's that I've listened to. Absolutely intriguing rhythmic interweavings.
I tried three times and the most I managed was twelve minutes. That same battery just kills me inside; for me, it’s an unbearable record. Anyway, maximum respect.
