Living Colour Time's Up
Voto:
Unsatisfactory review, I’m sorry. And 3 is a low score. Mine isn’t a 4 but a 4.5. It’s close to being a masterpiece. This album is the most complete by the band. I was torn between rating Time's up or Stain. I discovered them with the latter, but I don’t want to be swayed by sentimentality. Both are of high quality, but I consider Time's up to be slightly superior because it’s more varied.
Colosseum Valentyne Suite
Voto:
This album deserves five stars. Definitely the best they have produced. A music that you can't give definitions to, because they're not needed. Valentyne Suite is a monstrous song. The review is nice too, although a bit pompous.

I confirm: in the most inspired years, they sounded like a great band such as Uriah Heep. Among the best of all time, in the original lineup. As for Jeff, I certainly didn't talk about production... I was referring to songwriting that harks back to the 70s. After all, it's no secret that Jeff's favorite band were Led Zeppelin, who do subtly emerge in his music. It was certainly the right choice not to seek a retro production style in the 90s. But which other 90s musicians would Jeff resemble then? Antoniodeste, unfortunately, having an artist nickname isn't enough to speak of art. Your comments are truly insightful. You really do liven up the debate. Anyway, I managed to draw out your passion and make this review the hottest on Debaser for a few days. Anyway, Ajeje, come back, because this is truly a great review!

I conclude by saying that it isn’t fair to say that I don’t like Tim Buckley. On the contrary, his voice is wonderful. I really like Tim Buckley the singer. Much less so Tim Buckley the songwriter.

That's not what I meant. I quoted King Crimson precisely to demonstrate that I'm not indissolubly tied to the classic song format. The other band I mentioned, Anglagard (which I recommend to everyone), has songs that are no shorter than 8 minutes. What I wanted to highlight is that musically, Tim's songs seem to drag on, they don't vary, and only follow the vocal evolutions. This is what I find monotonous, fundamentally not giving me great emotions and, in my opinion, not valuing the voice itself. Which would have had enormous potential. It's clear that the musical context was different, but those were the key years of the rock revolution, the most inspired years: Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, etc. How can one say that Grace is rooted in the typical sounds of the 90s??? This is complete nonsense, and whoever said it has significant issues musically. Because in reality, Grace is everything but that. It may be liked or not, but it's not a 90s sound. The sound is strongly influenced by the 70s, if anything, but in reality, it's a complete album because it feels like a journey through music from the 50s to the 90s. Where the true innovation is Jeff's interpretation, his soul, and his emotional vocality. It's timeless music. And it has influenced a large part of the good bands in the following years: Radiohead, Muse, Starsailor, etc.

Well, for me, there's no such thing as too challenging or experimental. Besides rock, I also listen to a lot of progressive, from King Crimson to Anglagard, but I'm not one of those who glorifies pure technique. I love it when technique serves the song. My struggle is with listening to a Tim album all the way through. I've mentioned that I delved into Happy Sad and Starsailor, and none of the three albums can convince me. The songs, in the long run, bore me; in most cases, I find them too elongated. Although the opening of a song like driftin thrilled me... after a while, I just couldn't take it anymore. Anyway, I'll end the debate here; I see that most of Tim's supporters have a jazz background, and that's probably the key to understanding. And I'm too far removed from that genre to seek the emotions you find. Jeff Buckley and Led Zeppelin forever!

Well, actually Jeff had already done it again... because if you listen to Sketches, the complete songs are wonderful. In fact, the first CD is at the level of Grace. The second part, which probably shouldn’t have been released, is just melody exploration and therefore not even sketches of songs. This might lead some people to think that the inspiration had waned. But that's not the case. As a musician, I can tell you that an artist who wants to create original music starts precisely from bare foundations and then deepens those raw ideas into song form. As for the rest, you've expressed your opinion, which I don't share. But it's a matter of taste.
Porcupine Tree Fear of a Blank Planet
Voto:
This is my favorite album by Porcupine, but I also really appreciate the earlier ones. The latest, The Incident, is the only one that left me a bit cold. But let's give it some time. Undoubtedly a band that is technically skilled and creative. If you like the genre, I also recommend Riverside, especially Second Life Syndrome.
King Crimson Red
Voto:
When I first started listening to King Crimson, I must admit I preferred In the Court. However, over time I've come to appreciate Red more and more, which I now consider their peak, for the variety of the musical offerings and because they manage to avoid excessive virtuosity, unlike in Lizard and Larks. The weak point of In the Court is the linearity of the music presented. Beautiful songs, yes, but not very varied. Among the more "recent" albums, I recommend Thrak.
Wishbone Ash Argus
Voto:
Great album and pinnacle of Wishbone Ash. Although their best piece "Persephone" is on the album There's the rub (which is also good). The songs I like the most are Sometime World, The King Will Come, Leaf and Stream, and Warrior. But it’s truly a complete album, and the beauty of the two guitarists is that they manage to interact and serve the song without interfering. This is not easy for two soloists. A MUST!
