I will never buy another Coldplay album without hearing it first. This is the best example of a "DBB" (download it before buying it) album. I can understand how a band should evolve and not repeat themselves. From The Beatles to Depeche Mode we have seen bands changing their style album after album but STILL each album is great. Tough I didn't expect another A Rush of Blood album I sure expected great melodies or complex arrangements. None of this is found here. Sure, "VIVA LA VIDA" is one of the greatest songs of this years and one of Coldplay's best, but do we have to go all through an album of dull "songs" just to have one or at the most 2 great songs?? I can't believe this is the same Brian Eno that produced such gems with Bowie and Talking Heads. I guess a producer can't do much when the ... Read More

Accelerate can be one of those albums which fans, upset with R.E.M.'s last few releases, may judge too highly, throwing out words like comeback just to describe a vague adult-rock, easy going consistency in a way which almost insults some of their finer intricacies.

I cannot say that i'm a fan of Discordinant sound. Many a musical snob calls this intelligent music. I call it noise. It doesn't take rocket science to create garbles of mathematical sound. Just an analytical mind, & a want to stray far from center. This release is very disappointing in my estimate. Not in the fact that it is indeed so unlike old Portishead, but that it lacks in any firm tonal center for much of the duration. As soon as you begin to want to connect to something, it is quickly ripped from underneath you. There have been many geniuses that have pushed the bar far from the norm but have maintained a central tonality in their work. This is in my estimate where genius lies. You can play with time signatures, tempo's, progressions, ... Read More

This young promise it's a good mix between african music, rock, punk and other vibes. A cool CD if you are tired of the conventional bands. Banga Manga Baby.

You should get Death Cab's Narrow Stairs for the first four songs alone. Each is a model of perfection. Even though 'I Will Possess Your Heart' clocks in at over 7 minutes, you never get bored. This is a must have. [DW]

6.OK Computer by: Radiohead July 01, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $17.98 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $12.49 You Save: $5.49 (31%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $2.99
Easiest review I'll ever do in my life. Simply put: BUY THIS! Why? Radiohead are an amazing group of talented song writers and musicians as a whole. Collectively "Ok Computer" pulls traces of their past soft alternative works together, and accompanies them with new progressive territory. The tracks are masterful, deep, and distinctly unique. As a whole the production quality is outstanding, the song variety is awesome (remains on the lighter side of the spectrum). This is all before their large leap into a minimalist electronic style as featured on their next album "Kid A". While many cite the second half as the downfall of the album, one could highly disagree. Example "Electioneering" has such a clinking jingle it's hard to resist. Radiohead have established an album thats as highly memorable ... Read More

I bought this album, thinking that i do like raconteurs, but i thought that their first album had a few dud songs on it. This one really hits the spot after (for me) a year of searching for an album i can just put on and listen to the whole thing with out being tempted to fast forward through a song or two or three. I really like the first and last songs, and songs 7 & 8. These are four songs that could anchor an album on their own. Overall, my best purchase (of music) of the year.

It seems like an OK album but I can't be sure because every time I put it on, I fall asleep.

I consider myself to be one of those people that can appreciate any kind of music. I never heard of any of the bands on this soundtrack but it I thoroughly enjoyed the music. It's very innocent and makes you yearn for your forever lost youth. Nostalgic.

Gamma Ray is a song that I haven't been able to get out of my head. Yep, another Beck earworm. Anyway, this is a another solid Beck album. That means you have some of the best song hooks possible, a bunch of different musical influences, some songs which are great radio fodder, and some that are seemingly pointless. Beck, to me, hits about the same on each album. 1/3 great songs, 1/3 perfectly fine songs, 1/3 less brilliant songs. But he does that album after album, without fail. And even the least useful of the songs are novel and interesting at least once. He's a bleedin' genius.
