Let it clear right from the start: as much as from single imaginásemos us that this album is a return to basics, the sooner desterréis this idea of the head, the less painful it will be for everyone. You can not stretch forever gum 10 years ago changed the world, but the aesthetic and music of the early morning seemed to agree with this slogan, and certainly put back in the limelight a type of rock retro guitars, carefree and wicked cool.
The impact in context were more important than a record of honors, but of those who leave a few each year. Of course, symbolized in many circumstances those 11 songs that expanded their importance, possibly in an exaggerated manner. Bearing this in mind, is an album Angles uncomfortable.
a rough pregnancy, and the feeling that there are groups that work best under the "dictatorship" of a leader. As another case in point, I said Noel Gallagher of Oasis: "If the group is the United Nations, I am America." This lasts until the rest of the group is tired and establishing a democratic regime whose greatest danger, beyond the possible talent or success of the new contributions, is that the loss of cohesive album experience affect the impressions of the listener.
In this case, this dish has all the earmarks that have been tampered with by too many chefs, and in its passage through the avant-garde, his deconstruction has brought us many nuances, but the sauces and spices can not hide that, beyond raw materials, you can not cook abusing the snack, and multiple step cookers: a disk should be prepared to be consumed in the flip, the pace you need, but not to cool a missing ingredient.
Julian Casablancas has recorded many of the voices on this album separately remember that the weather in the band is not the best but I worry more about possible condescension when seeking consensus in the group. Of the 10 songs, 5 are indisputable and we show that the 5-year wait may have been worth it, 'Machu Picchu', 'Under Cover of Darkness',' Two kind of Happiness', 'Taken for a fool' and ' Life is simple in the moonlight.
" Their sound has been wrapped in layers of sophisticated and unexpected influences and is a smart move to avoid getting bogged down his garage-indie-rock of the first two albums. In this direction started First Impressions of Earth, and in the same way still, in fact, 'Two kind of happiness "resembles" Vision of Division', and 'Metabolism' do 'Electricityscape'.
And both 'Under Cover of Darkness' and 'Taken for a fool' is an approach to its first stage, with guitar riffs, melodies and smell: addictive, bright, pert, young, and definitely cool. 'Machu Picchu', beyond the exoticism of the referral, incorporates elements of reggae and funk that will build a track that explodes with the chorus guitarrazos after which, without overstretching the comparison, we move to their neighbors who have used their best hiatus: Vampire Weekend.
'Two kind of happiness', with its battery eighties, and his riff Trotter, reaches its climax in the maelstrom of guitars that Hammond and Nick Valensi built with the virtuosity of two metal guitarists, and condensing into a few phrases the strength and emphasis instrumental that and let us hear 'Heart in a cage "or" Vision of Division "of his previous album.
And to conclude the outstanding issues, closing with 'Life is simple in the moonlight' ("autobiographical recreation of the situation of Julian in the Strokes?), A part-time intense, dramatic and aseptic, single absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, this clarity of ideas is not transferred to other songs that are guilty of some inconsistency at the time to develop, in which the feeling, at times, is that some of the roads and detours to allow these issues are mere recreations: eccentric, unexpected and, worse, sometimes unnecessary.
For example, does provide some paranoid voices of Julian in "You're so right ', a topic that might be usable as an interlude, but whose position in the short tracklist disc a great start? Or the rough mellotron or the drag after the chorus on "Call me later," the "Ballad of Time" group (as had been 'Is This It', 'Under control' or 'Ask me anything'?).
And, obviously, not all issues are equally inspired. 'Gratisfaction' remains in fair and 'Metabolism', archetypal or a structure very museesca, smells like conventional, and weigh down the second half less effective than the first, but described slightly every corner of their influences, set in 80s allowing the groove and start petshopboyesco of 'Games'.
It is an easy drive. Moreover, it is a clear example of grower. We expected the spontaneity and freshness of their single, but the big problem is that you round out a song so reminiscent of your best time. In many ways, this album requires patience to devote fans (we) for each release of Radiohead, and Animal Collective.
Nostalgia for what they meant (and how we were) 10 years ago should not blind us to assess a disc with many interesting features, several songs and many new influences incontestable, but still fresh, young and talkative, which is missing internal cohesion in the album, concise when developing their ideas, and confidence, talent and contribution to full capacity of an apathetic Julian Casablancas.
It is not the best they can do, but as a hard transition for degreasing machinery that took 5 years standing, thanks ambition to play in broadening horizons.
