Durutti Column The Return Of The Durutti Column

Alright, I can agree on the track list. But the album is from 1980, not 1996. The year must be that of its first release. If they reissue SGT. PEPPER today, what do they put, 2005?

Beautiful and accurate review. Twilight and melancholic album. Not for everyone and not easy to listen to. However, it seems to me that the cover, the track list, and the year of release are incorrect. This album is from 1980.

Perhaps a review that's a bit too long and rambling. The Smiths were one of the cornerstone groups of the mistreated eighties, even though personally this isn't my favorite album of theirs. It's also true that within it there are epoch-making singles and the seeds of what they would do in the immediate future. They were a fantastic group for singles but never delivered a long-form work that truly left a mark. Many very good albums, but I don't find the real masterpiece. Just a personal and debatable opinion, of course.

I agree with ZiOn. It really turns me on.

First point: Bjork is an unconventional kind of beauty. She can be liked or disliked. She's not an absolute beauty. Second point: the review is well done. How could it be otherwise from Grass? Third point: I own Bjork's "Debut" and "Vespertine," and unfortunately, in both cases, they fail to warm my heart. Fourth point: this album has crossed my eyes a hundred times at the modest price of 10 Euros, but it has never sparked my interest. Fifth point: I would gladly go for Bjork.

Indeed, as a review it leaves a bit to be desired. Involved and convoluted. Well! Anyway, the album is good. For me, it's better than A Rush of Blood to the Head. And besides, I don't see (or rather hear) many bands out there making melodic music better than Coldplay.

Neil Young Comes A Time

Underrated album. It's not a masterpiece, but it's a fairly upbeat record. You're right when you say there's something from the happier past of Neil Young. I also understand that fans of the immediately preceding works may be a bit skeptical about this album's semi-commercial shift, but in the following years, it rarely reached these levels again. Let's not speak too kindly of our friend's 1980s output.

Second review of this album and second review a bit stretched. Anyway, the album is magnificent. Something that gets into your soul. And then it's proof of how you can make a great album in just over half an hour, despite those who use almost the entire capacity of the digital format often, indeed very often, at the expense of quality. Highly recommended.

Thanks to records like this, music moves forward. Fortunately, there are still some people capable of shaking things up. A voice from the beyond for an album to listen to in the dark of your room.

Dire Straits Love Over Gold

"Not having a famous track?" Are we joking? Private Investigations was hugely popular back in the day. Dire Straits have never held a special place in my heart, but Private Investigations often spun on my turntable. And yes! I have the vinyl. And it still sounds great.
