Allman Brothers Band Live at Fillmore East Deluxe Edition

What an album, what a live performance, what a band! The acid/jazz soul of southern rock. The dialogues between the two guitars are marvelous, but those between the two drums are no less impressive. If the first album is Cream-esque, in the second, the entire Grateful-inspired soul of the band emerges, diving into passionate improvisations that go well beyond the narrow harmonic canons of the blues and touch on abstract forms. Now that summer is approaching, I will often play it during the hottest nights.

I'm sorry for the choppy comment, but I've made a mess with this computer, damn it...

@Festwka: I'm giving you only 3 stars because it's a review that's a bit too sparse for an album so rich in ideas. @Sanjuro: you wrote: "...the songs often don't differ from clusters of notes that many would have been able to put together..." True, but keep in mind that the execution, the sound, the "way" in which those clusters of notes are played (the expression, in a nutshell) can often make a difference even more than the purely compositional aspect. And that's precisely the case with Husker Du.

If the title track and the concluding "Pains", more than songs, are pure impulsive outbursts, "Skin a cat", with all those convulsions, moves between Hendrix and, listen carefully, the Captain... Enough, I’ll stop: yesterday I ended up talking for hours about the Pixies, today it's the HD... good sign (for the Huskers, of course :-D).

If anything, the mood is less tragic; here and there a certain relaxation emerges, especially when the band adopts folk stylistic elements ("Psychic Warfare," which even brings back Bob Dylan) and country ("Books"). The latent dreaminess in the band's sound spills over into the somnambulistic singing of "Perfect Example" (all in fluidity, without bass, featuring a muted acoustic guitar and a lightness already reminiscent of Mascis) and the velvety bass that haunts "Powerline" like a ghost. The fluctuating moods of "Folk lore" and "59 Times" are a godsend for the future emo, while the serenades "Apologize" and "Celebrated Summer," despite clearing away the clouds, reveal a band with its heart on its sleeve.

Worthy successor of the colossus Zen Arcade, it picks up and develops its insights. First of all, let's make one thing clear: NEW DAY RISING IS NOT A POWER-POP ALBUM. Period. Not because many go around saying that, after the anger of Zen Arcade, the Huskers would have lightened their tones... Quite the opposite: NDR is perhaps even more violent than its predecessor, there are no more piano interludes, Mould is screaming like crazy, overwhelmed by his own guitar ("Girl who leaves on Heaven Hill," raw, suffocated, monstrous, halfway between Broken home and Pink turns to blue, with a genuinely 80s chorus), and the rhythm section is more furious than ever (the drum rolls of "If I told you").

Great Punisher!!! What an honor to be part of one of the most experimental reviews in all of Debaser! This is pure avant-garde! Now our chatter about Placebo from yesterday afternoon will be etched in memory, and probably when "The Encyclopedia of Rock According to Punisher" comes out, this will be the chapter dedicated to Placebo. Special guests: michi, zze, geenoo, pretazzo, dante. :-DDD
