Rating: Revival is the key word. And that's because, since the release in 2001 of the beautiful "Is This It" by New York's Strokes, tribute bands to the legendary '70s have multiplied: Hives, Libertines, Franz Ferdinand, Jet are just a few of the groups that, with a mix of catchy garage and rock 'n' roll, have defined the trend of the moment, although in some cases, falling into banal and lackluster albums (see "Room On Fire" by the aforementioned Strokes).
The Raveonettes, aka Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo, a duo from Copenhagen, could be placed along the same lines, who, with the usual elements and absolutely vintage instrumentation, released in 2003, one year after "Whip It On", their second work, "Chain Gang Of Love". And the result is definitely pleasant: 13 tracks between garage, danceable rock 'n' roll and some nice novelties, like "Noisy Summer", a slow piece closer to a certain noise-pop than the usual mix proposed by various pseudo-revival formations of today. Sure, one could criticize a certain brevity of it all (33 minutes are, indeed, a bit few...), but when listening to gripping tracks like "Love Can Destroy", the jewel "Heartbreak Stroll" and "New York Was Great", one cannot help but praise the work of the Danish duo, who undoubtedly stands out in the chaos of record releases.
Congratulations to the Raveonettes, therefore, for an honest album, certainly not a masterpiece, but still well-crafted and undoubtedly above the average we are normally accustomed to.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Remember (02:40)
And I Never Think You'll Get It
Tonight You're Doing Something
This Fix Is More Important Than You Are
Hooking In The Streets
Don't You Have Somewhere To Go
This Man Is More Important Than You Are
Girl Can This Summer Turn You On
When You Walk Inside Yourself
Annd Feel The Moon Has Let You Down
Remember When The Heat Could
Knock You Off Your Feet
I Remember When The Strets Would
Still Be Good To Me
Girl Where Were You On That Perfect Day
When Hearts Were Handed Out
And Young Girls
Found Pretty Lover Boys
Come On
Make It Right
03 Noisy Summer (02:24)
Chewin' On A Whip Your Little Dress Is Tight
Gonna Make Me Burn Gonna Make It Right
Tell Your Little Stories And I'll Never Hope
That I'll End Up Right Beside You When It Comes
I'm Gonna Make It Good This Hour
Make It True
Dancing On The Stairs I'll Never Get Back Home
Gonna Laugh And Smile Gonna Make Me Moan
Do Your Little Thing And Then Remember Why
You Chose Me Instead Of Someone Else
Why Don't You Start Right Now I Know You
Won't Regret
05 Let's Rave On (01:54)
Let's rave on cause i know that you want it
Let's make out cause i know that you want it
Let's go down where the hearts are all broken
Fix 'em all in time
Fix 'em all in time
Let's go out and make it happen
Let's go out and meet some strangers
Let's go down where the broken hearted
Trying to make it right
Trying to make it right
Know my heart's black
Cause i gotta go
Let's go out and make some trouble
Let's rave on and make some trouble
Let's go out with the broken hearted
Make 'em feel alright
Make 'em feel alright
Know my heart's black
Cause i gotta go
08 Heartbreak Stroll (02:26)
Take A Little Time To Get To Know Me
The Night Is Open Don't You Feel The Same As I
Cause I Can Do Everything
A Heartbreak Stroll With Someone Special
The L.a. Lights Will Never Be The Same
Tonight And I Kill Those Memories
Get It All Now Cause I'm On The Prowl
Come On Baby Right Now
Get It All Straight Cause You're Whistle Bait
Come On Baby Right Now
Come On Baby Right Now
Feel The Earth Move When You're Shaking That Thing
Hard To Be Around When You Got Nothing To Gain
I Gotta Go Home And Sleep It Off
09 Little Animal (03:08)
My girl is a little animal
She always wants to fuck
I can't find a reason why
I guess it's just my luck
So at night when she's sound asleep
I head out in the rain to meet
All the things she never gave
To me when I was down
All the things I had to find
With strangers in strange towns
But at night when she's curled up next to me
I head out for the Devil to meet
10 Untamed Girls (01:44)
You Came Into My Town
You Came And You Fell Down
Sweet Summer All Around
Can It Feel It Going Down Again
Spend Some Time With You
Don't Care What You Wanna Do
I Wanna Find Some Words Too Say
Come On And Make Me Stay
Come On And Do Your Thing
Come On And Make It Go
Some Times It Feels Like Rain
All The Time It Feels Like Pain
Time
