Their most bare and danceable album together. Good.

Hehe, you should buy her all the indie-rock albums you despise: watching them get destroyed by her hands must be quite satisfying! Anyway, you're talking to someone who could write a dissertation on fleeting enthusiasms; however, I think that if during those days you can resist the compulsive urge to buy and save those twenty euros instead, it’s a healthy thing to get excited often… ;)

Great Psycho. Even though I feel very involved in the third paragraph... The album, yes: at times it playfully mocks, and at times it mocks seriously. I still kind of like it. For sure, the Woods also use cheap toilet paper. Listen to the Ganglians: you’ll find something extra there.

Charming debut: England has started churning out talented youngsters again. I don’t hear anything of Portishead in them, while Young Marble Giants are on full blast: that’s definitely the archetype. Yet these young lads add a few new elements, including some dance/trance/r&b references from the '90s that they grew up with, leaving behind some traces (for instance, the guitar progression in the verses of "night time" mimics a movement from a breakbeat piece from '92, "The green man" by Shut Up & Dance, Rum & Black remix). In short, it’s a beautiful album, nocturnal, dreamy.

Editors In This Light And On This Evening

An album (for me) simply very ugly. The only saving grace is "the boxer." I’ll leave synth-pop to those who know how to do it.

Modest Mouse No One's First And You're Next

Not bad, for collecting material discarded from the previous two albums. Usually, similar operations produce mediocre albums, whereas this one has its own enjoyment. Beautiful "The Whale Song," reminiscent of the early works of Modest Mouse, and "King Rat," with the spectacular video directed by Heath Ledger. 3.5.

Oh my God! If "Shut up (and sleep with me)" is a song without frills and lace, then I am Ippolito Pindemonte. The lowest euro-dance.

Bad Lieutenant Never Cry Another Tear

The album indeed reminds one of the Electronic's "Twisted Tenderness" (even if there the synth weight was greater), but with much poorer songwriting results, close to some of the bad stuff from the last (bad) New Order album. In short, this man founded Joy Division and New Order, for crying out loud: it's better to stay quiet than to release such nonsense, pop rock fit only as background music in supermarkets. Let's hope that Hooky's project, Freebass, says something more.

Pet Shop Boys Introspective

In my opinion, it's not their best album (and they themselves consider it their most fragile: after all, the PSB have never been as experimental as they are here), but it is undoubtedly the most historically crucial: here was the acid house just before it exploded. Eight-minute-long songs, hypnotic synth intertwining, and away we go: an anomalous pop album like few others. Long live the Pets. The art of pop in music.
