SNOW PATROL "eyes open", cd, 2006.

the fourth album by this irish/scottish trio and the one that really launched them into the charts worldwide, contains their smash hit "chasing cars".
the music media compare this group to Coldplay, and IMO it is a fair call as musically it is obvious for all to hear, lyrically also in some ways as both groups tend to deal with human frailties in all their forms, nevertheless a great album by a very good band.

i rate this album 2.1 on the Music Head rating scale.

CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:ok, this review is going to be against what every other review ive read thinks about Nirvana....
sure, i can appreciate the fact that "smells like teen spirit" became a vocal/focal point for disenchanted youth in the 1990's...and at least the kids hooked up with a real band than boy/girl bands and auto-tune crap, but at the same time i dont see what all the hoopla is about these guys and grunge in general, maybe im just too old and somewhat set in my ways? but i have always thought that Nirvana would not have been thought of in such high esteem had Cobain not died tragically at such a young age...in fact i rate their spin-off band Foo Fighters in higher esteem!
....i dunno, maybe our parents thought the same of The Sex Pistols and Punk in general also, back in the day???
that said, there are six good songs on this one IMO and six that i dont like but regardless of that i still rate their "unplugged" album as one of my favourite albums ever, due to the fact that Kurt's vocals are in the foreground and his feeling and emotion can be heard clearly.
and yes, i do like this album, but only just, but that said its hard to knock these guys or Pearl Jam for spawning a generation of musicians and bands!

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

worst track: territorial pissings
best track: breed

I've been thinking about your review quite a lot because something bothers me in it. Nirvana is my generation. I am an 80's child and a 90's teenager. Kurt Cobain spoke to how angry I was and my personal teen angst lol So, maybe I'm a little biased but still..........I think he would have still been held in high esteem had he not died young and tragically. Other bands like Alice and Chains and Jane's Addiction were the forerunners of the grunge scene but Nirvana was especially charged with emotion. Kurt Cobain touched his audience somehow even before he died. You can really feel it in the unplugged album but it was there all along.

In my opinion-

Best Track: Drain You
Worst Track: Something in the Way

Lolita Nation-Game Theory

Onscure jangle pop. Listening to this has increased my indie cred so much

i-Pod listening in the garden this PM.

Second album from UK band released in 2007.

A former member here - Dogbreath - had some dealings with this band from Leeds, and alerted the MD membership to their existence.

Unremittingly gloomy gloomy lyrics, combined with some funereal music sounds like an oppressive pairing, but I like this album a lot. Vocalist David Martin also sounds quite like Joy Division's Ian Curtis, so I'm sure you get the picture.

The guitars do occasionally soar in a Post-Rock stylee, but it's basically a pretty dark album.


AllMusic 3/5 stars.

Leslie Feist....nice gal ! She's from my birthplace of Amherst, Nova Scotia !

Pretty cool to see her cited !


Tiggi Wrote:Feist - Let it Die

Not sure if this really belongs here, but it's a fusion of jazz & pop with an alternative feel, so this is where it gets posted !!

^ That's going back a bit, SteveO. Haven't heard it for a while, must give it another spin...

Rum, Sodom, and the Lash-the Pogues

Quite a title there. It's a classic folk punk lp with very influence from Irish music. It's so fun and so joyous. A celebration of life
