<< here we are basically talking about hard rock. >> Hard, really? So what are the Hellacopters doing, thrash metal?

<< Once there were so many nice things like Power Pop, Hard Rock or Pop Rock >> They are still around, but nothing quite fits. It’s too power to be power pop, not hard enough to be hard rock, and not pop enough to be Pop Rock. I would call it Soft Rock or Joy Rock, but I’m certainly not going to use names that nobody understands. "I have a nice Joy Rock record, you can’t resist... you must must must must... ma-sti-car". \\\ << let me translate it as an example: Probot. Am I wrong? >> To tell you if "erri" you need to let me know if you liked it or not :D. That record made me understand that he was good and versatile, and I gladly listened to the tracks featuring people I’ve always liked. Those done with people I’ve never cared for much, I liked less. In the end, it sounded more like a "tribute" than an original record.

"Indie is not synonymous with independent, in fact. It means precisely independent." Well, the problem is: what do you call the stuff by Franz Ferdinand, the Strokes, the Libertines? Soft-speedy-rock? Melodic-Tender-But-A-Little-Hardly- Rock? It's a mess, solvable with "Indie Rock." Otherwise, we would have to put indie in front of every genre; by now, record labels are popping up like mushrooms in the era of homemade digital music.

<< He has his own way of conceptualizing the drums in a song. >> That’s true, but he needs a solid song to fit into. It depends on where you place it for me: sometimes it works really well, other times I find it out of sync simply because it’s a bit too much on its own. As far as the sound goes, I usually like it. Give the Shrinebuilder album a listen, preferably late in the evening with some relaxing and slowing down alteration :)

Ah, and then I agree on Dave Grohl as a composer: absolute zero. A drummer with great groove and solid hits, but nothing more. A thousand drummers better than him, millions of composers better than him. A great person, that’s for sure; he’s truly a nice character.

I don't think I'll pay attention to you, Matacà. Even the best Indie Rock album in history I've only heard twice, and this one is already at three, which is a lot for me. I just really don't like the proposal; it’s not that there’s something wrong, and if there is, I wouldn’t be able to pinpoint it since I basically don’t like anything (songwriting, sounds, voices, rhythms, etc.). I can tell it’s a well-made album, but nothing more. \\\ I didn't have high expectations, but I at least expected a Rock album. For Shrinebuilder, come on, you can't find that everywhere—only if you look among the records of the genre's greats. If they make another one allowing themselves more time, I think they could really make a big splash. It's not easy to get four people who are used to writing either for themselves or with others to agree in just a few days. There are no supporting acts there; they’re all top players in their own bands.

The Shrinebuilder didn’t revolutionize the year, but at least they made the record that one wanted to hear. Given the lineup, one was expecting either a Doom album or something "all their own" with various experiments, and they ended up releasing "only" a Doom record, but of excellent quality. Not to mention it was a project done amidst the myriad commitments of the musicians, all except Wino fresh off new albums and various tours. In the case of TCV, one wanted either a truly hard Rock record or something experimental. And then the new Franz Ferdinand album came out, the best of their career (by Franz Ferdinand). And those three had nothing else to do besides this album, really nothing else to do. Except memorize the discography of Franz Ferdinand, the Strokes, the Arctic Monkeys...

It's a good album, but not enough to listen to it again. It must be the expectations for sure, but the genre chosen isn't really my cup of tea; in fact, I never listen to it. For me, that "psychedelia" adds very little, and I'm also a bit dubious about that "rock n roll." Indie Rock yes, definitely Indie Rock.

By making summaries, you also surpass your levels of free theme. Right now, you are truly the best on debaser: I vote for you for the 2009 Oscar.

<< originality in certain aspects of the film can be demonstrated, >> You can only seriously demonstrate it if, as you say, you have seen every film made until 1999 to be able to evaluate it with all the data. I carefully watch a maximum of 5 films a year until the end, I don’t know about you, but even of those 5 I can't seriously say whether it’s original or not. Also because, honestly, I don't give a damn about saying it.
