Arctic Monkeys Leave Before the Lights Come On

5 no. What do they have that’s special compared to, I don’t know, the new singles from each of the Gallagher brothers? I just have the feeling that these were already born old.
Joan Baez Blowin' Away
Voto:
So many details. But I'm not convinced by this cover operation. "Cry Me a River" in the version I like by Diana Krall is frankly unattainable compared to this little version. I probably have never loved Joan Baez much, hence the prejudice...
Red Hot Chili Peppers I'm With You

There’s nothing controversial left in the RHCP anymore. Have you noticed that now the singles are all more or less ballads with a constant and monotonous rhythm on the snare and muted vocals? My personal opinion is that originality peaked after the legendary beginnings somewhere around Californication. Then it was over.
Steven Wilson Insurgentes

I just discovered this amazing album. It keeps surprising me more and more; can someone recommend some of his parallel projects?
The Killers Human
Voto:
mario-netta definitely not. but I’ve always liked this song.
Monsters of Folk Monsters of Folk
Voto:
@zanna, known to us as almost zero, but they are a certainty in the North American indie scene, especially idolized by Jim James’s group, who is indeed an extraordinary singer. Have you ever heard "the bear" by My Morning Jacket? Let’s say this Monsters of Folk is a more "cultured" project compared to My Morning Jacket... but check out the song in the link

Thank you all!
@brainac, even for the same members of this project, the definition "folk" is misleading. Try listening; it’s not just about ā€œnakedā€ instruments and voice like Joan Baez. It’s something different. Perhaps in musical trends and the overall feelings it evokes, it’s actually closer to many musical genres, including a bit of black music and classic country rock, as well as something akin to indie pop naturally, maybe more "spiritual" in some ways.
@progrock, nice to be here; in reality, I never really left. I still enjoy reading the reviews, but to write one, I probably need valid stimuli; I'm not that prolific. Many albums I like have already been excellently reviewed, for example, "for emma forever ago" by Bon Iver, which I discovered right on the pages of this site. And I’ve noticed that a great job has already been done on practically all of Neil Young's albums! I’m waiting and looking for things that struck me without going too much into the classics.
Destroyer Trouble In Dreams

What does the Canadian indie scene have that is radical chic?? They're all bearded and smelly, wearing red and black checkered shirts. Great artists nonetheless, like all the bands you've mentioned in your rich review. It’s definitely an interesting proposition. I will give it a listen.
Bon Iver For Emma, Forever Ago
Voto:
After all these years...I mean, no, what I wanted to say is...how much heart is still in this album?? It's simply crystal clear!
Them Crooked Vultures Them Crooked Vultures

a blend of revival and confusion. They were introduced to me as the saviors of the musical homeland, telling me that finally the rock that died in the 90s would rise again with this magical "supergroup." In my opinion, music didn't die in the 90s, and anyway, this album is a real super punch in the face.
