Unattainable all the Album - but there's not much to say about that, just listen to it, take a look at the year of release and draw your conclusions. Although, in its own way, "Flying High" remains unattainable in the elongated version from the farewell concert at the Fillmore in '69, with the incredibly fuzzy bass of Jack Casady.

    15 nov 13
    Well, here the pieces still largely adhered to the song format; "Satellite," "The Best Of What's Around," "Typical Situation," "Ants Marching," in all these tracks there is a search for and a finding of the catchy chorus, albeit unconventional - due to the way they know how to mix the instruments. Things change significantly with Crash and especially with Before These Crowded Streets, there the complexity increases tremendously, and the label "pop" (which Dave is quite proud of) will increasingly feel like a tight fit...

The exceptional thing is the use of metallophones. Martin Gore had come into contact with Bargeld and the Berliners, and with the Synclavier they had begun to sample anything. A prelude to the Masterpiece that would come shortly after, but in the meantime the rhythms become more intricate (that progressive acceleration in "More Than A Party" is typical of Slavic music).

The concept of DEVOlution is the key to understanding the world: based on it, one can see not only that "Satisfaction" was copied by the Rolling Stones from Devo, but also – for example – that the idea of Dr. Strangelove was stolen by Kubrick from Castagna 30 years earlier.

    Great Devo, their concept of music was revolutionary, the result of great minds not just in the musical field. It's a shame that over the years they didn't fully develop their theories and got lost in a canonical electro pop. Their look was genius as well.

Yes, I have to say that I get pretty angry when I learn that this would have been the slick, commercial, smarmy turning point. Assuming that no one can reach the records of the previous decade, I like to be considered smarmy if an album like this is to be considered as such... Can we say there’s a bad track in this album? And can we say someone has better learned (modernizing it) the lesson of N.Y. & Crazy Horse in the '90s? I doubt it.

    Well, it’s a slick, polished, high-quality commercial record, not to piss you off :)

    Better the first than Making Movies (despite the ride of Tunnel Of Love). The second is the worst of the three, a true carbon copy of the debut.
  • Lao Tze
    22 jan 13
    Personally, Cunnu, I don’t subscribe to the view that Communiqué is the "carbon copy" of the first album. The sound is not the same; the drums are much more "full" and substantial in the second than in the first. C.'s sound is much closer to that of Dylan's "Slow Train Coming" (from the same year, and not coincidentally played by Mark and Pick) than to that of the first Dire Straits. I would add - C. is one of the albums that, in my opinion, suffered the most in the transition from analog to digital; you can hear it in the closing of "News": listened to on CD it has one effect, while listened to on vinyl with a good amplifier, it has an exceptional rendering. As for Alchemy, same story: I prefer the tracks from the early period. And then "Love Over Gold" I’ve never been able to endure for more than 5 minutes; in my opinion, the DS decline significantly with Pick's departure.

Then again, I don't know your tastes; maybe it's all the '80s synth-pop that you can't stand, and in that case, this album is the worst of the worst. However, in its genre, this is remarkable, and by far their best—nothing compared to what came after '84.

And a mandatory mention for a "The Kids Are Alright" in one of its best reissues.

    The only Japanese album from the '70s that deserves a 5 is Kurofune by the Sadistic Mika Band. The rest is either amateurish stuff, peddled as cult material by people like Julian Cope, or simply nice albums that have lost a lot over the years. And Satori is one of those. Sure, after 40 years, you can still appreciate those high notes that mimic English hard rock, but I steer clear of it. True Japanese rock begins in the late '80s; for me, Satori is prehistoric - just my opinion.

Guns N' Roses: The Spaghetti Incident?

An album that can only be fully understood by our grandchildren. Too ahead, too early for the times.

    I don't think it's misunderstood, on the contrary... many groups, from the Stooges to T. Rex, have covered these songs.

    The beautiful irony is often given to the pigs.

    Putting pearls before... pigs without pigs thinking! The album in question is really in question!
