The masterpiece by Christian Death, even more than the valid Catastrophe Ballett. Raw, dirty, sick, here you find almost all of the death rock from the '80s and '90s.

    Their album that I love the most, a balance between abrasive bursts and enveloping atmospheres, destined to prevail in the subsequent works, opening up a whole world of enchantment. Musette and Drums is the apex of that balance, with a spine-chilling finale.

    I believe that the gentlemen harbored a certain resentment towards Flower Power, towards the grand deception of "Peace & Love," and they released an album that tried to put to music all the contradictions of the era, keeping it at a proper distance. At least I think so, Ah Ah.

    A few years ago, I came across a CD reissue, I think 4 or 5 years ago. I remember a very minimal, hypnotic folk and a clumsy voice that reminded me a lot of Tim Buckley's hysterical falsettos. At the time, I was caught up in other things and I don't remember what happened to the CD; maybe now that I've come to appreciate folk again, I could search for it.

    I think they have quite a bit, even though Manson had something (he's not stupid). Then I believe both have declined; Downward Spiral and Fragile are, in my opinion, great albums, but now I struggle to listen to them again (also because I know them by heart).
  • SilasLang
    23 feb 14
    The Downward Spiral I’ve consumed. One of the greatest masterpieces of the '90s. What times... I’m not nostalgic, never have been, but I can’t help but notice that back then they were still releasing rock albums that made me jump out of my seat and exclaim "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS???". :D

    It's true, there were more beautiful records. But back then, I used to read magazines and visit Wide Records in Pisa every day; I did it for years until it existed. If I had to tell you a title that impressed me from 2001 onwards, I wouldn’t know... and yet in my collection, there’s definitely something. It’s just that almost nothing impresses me nowadays.
  • SilasLang
    23 feb 14
    And the magazines. I used to read stuff like Rumore, Rockerilla, occasionally Hard, a magazine that vanished with the new millennium, Metal Hammer UK version, hahaha... it was a great time because even thanks to the so-called Seattle scene, even the media and MTV shone a light on realities that otherwise today only you, me, and about 10 others would know :) Since 2000, tons of great albums have come out... and they keep coming, but it’s harder to find them, despite the internet... there’s just too much stuff out there! Anyway, there have been great things, I think of Oneida, Liars, Burial, Matmos, Asva...
  • Psychopathia
    23 feb 14
    Hard was toilet paper, though :) Guns and Roses and Marilyn and that's it. Yes, it's true, there’s good stuff and I know the artists you mention except for Asva. But for all their validity, they don't really move me. I mean, they don't give me the emotion that, for example, feeling pumped while listening to Los Angeles by X or the Malaria! compilation does! Just to mention two groups that aren’t exactly essential from the past. I've always been old inside... ah ah ah
  • SilasLang

  • SilasLang
    3 sep 14
    ...since I'm at it, I'll listen to it again tonight, alright. Who knows, after 15 years of not doing it, putting it back on might make me fall in love with it. Lately, I've found myself several times rediscovering things that didn't captivate me back then.
  • De...Marga...
    3 sep 14
    @Silas; I listened to it again this afternoon: the opening of "The Cry of Mankind," with that obsessive and repetitive drum sound, is something that is overwhelming. Then comes Aaron's detached voice that sends shivers down your spine. Not to mention the parts where the violin devastates...

    with "Come On Pilgrim" tacked on at the end in the latest edition, it’s their absolute best. I understand that many (right, hyhy?:D) get mad hearing them lumped together because rightly so, Come On Pilgrim holds enormous value even on its own. But it is what it is; I’ve always listened to them together, not knowing which tracks belonged to which, so for me, it will always be one single album—the best of the little people, indeed (I remember I bought it along with Daydream Nation; never was there a better pairing of albums).
  • madcat

    among other things, one of my favorite albums for me as well, in the top ten, I would say
  • Psychopathia
    5 jun 14
    I also have the edition with "come on pilgrim." By the way, I never knew the two tracklists, so I listen to everything in order. Or rather: I used to listen, because I know it by heart. It's been collecting dust for 6/7 years, maybe more; it's almost time to enjoy it/them again.
  • hjhhjij

    Well, you’re happy to include me like that, poor EP :D Just kidding, I have some like that too, only I know the tracklists and I either listen to one or the other ;) Surfer Rosa-Daydream Nation, a mind-blowing 1988, what a double whammy...

    If we swap Sonic Nurse with Ghost & Flowers, I completely agree. I really like "Goo," it's just one of those albums that finds itself up against unbeatable giants, poor thing. But the '90s and early '00s for Sonic were still pretty good. And that's it, we’re just discovering hot water here :D

    Mule is very beautiful too, but for the same reason you're attached to Blue Valentine, I am as well.

  • ZannaB
    4 jun 15
    No, but it's not a matter of taste because I also prefer Waits "post Rain Dogs"; it’s just that I’m attached to Blue Valentine as it was the first Waits album I ever listened to, and even though I admit there are better ones, it will always remain my favorite.
  • hjhhjij
    4 jun 15
    Better? Well, very, very different Zanna, and therefore preferable or not (as in my case, yours, and Psycho's) but a "Blue Valentine" and I'll even say a "Closing Time" (a true collection of perfect songs) don't falter in front of any other Waits album, although I too am particularly enchanted by Waits from 1983-1993 (especially). Zanna, you even like "post-Rain Dogs"? But do you like Black Rider?
  • fuggitivo
    4 jun 15
    I agree with Psychopathia about the reissues. In Rain Dogs, when you open the booklet, there’s nothing cosmic. And yes, a well-done remaster would help, not too much but it would help. One last thing, just reissue these fucking vinyls. Not the Asylum ones, the ones after those. At home, I have two copies of Rain Dogs, the first one has a damaged cover, I got over it because they’re hard to find, so I bought another one and Singapore skips. SINGAPORE, just imagine the frustration of knowing you wasted money after not even a minute of playing it on the turntable.
  • ZannaB
    4 jun 15
    I’ve never heard of Balck Rider, Acca. I’m talking about "post Rain Dogs" because the evolution is evident from there on, not because all the albums after that are better than the previous ones.
  • hjhhjij
    4 jun 15
    I don't understand, fang, the evolution is evident after "Rain Dogs"? Wouldn't you hear the evolution in "Swordfishtrombones"? Or are you talking about the later evolution, the one that is completed with this album? I didn't quite get what you mean.
