Fontaines D.C. machen dystopischen Rock, der genau in diese dunklen Zeiten passt
Als Fontaines D.C. 2019 mit ihrem Debüt „Dogrel“ aus Dublin auftauchten, waren sie eine erfrischende Neuinterpretation des klassischen Post-Punk. Die wühlenden Basslinien erinnerten an Joy Division und New Order, die kantigen Gitarren an The Fall. Doch die Band hatte ihren ganz eigenen, unverwechselbar irischen Sinn für Lyrik, absurden Humor und den Geist des Underdogs.
Fontaines D.C. Make Dystopian Rock That Hits Just Right for Dark Times
W hen Fontaines D.C. first came out of Dublin with their 2019 debut, Dogrel, they were a fun new twist on old-school post-punk. The spelunking bass lines recalled Joy Division and New Order, the jagged guitars evoked the Fall. But these guys had their own uniquely Irish sense of lyricism, absurdist humor, and underdog spirit.
Mit Kiss, solo und Frehley's Comet
Ace Frehley war der Spaceman und Gitarrenheld im Herzen von Kiss. Ein Kind aus der Bronx, das sich mit silberner Schminke und glitzernden Astronautenstiefeln in ein außerirdisches Rockmonster verwandelte. Als Space Ace war er die treibende Kraft von Kiss – mit seinen wuchtigen Riffs und seiner Größer-als-das-Leben-Präsenz inspirierte er über Jahrzehnte unzählige Jugendliche dazu, zur Gitarre zu greifen.
Beck atinge um lindo e melancólico novo patamar em 'Ride Lonesome'
Resumo Após sete anos, Beck retorna com o aclamado álbum Ride Lonesome (nota 4/5), resgatando o folk-rock melancólico de sucessos como Sea Change. Com arranjos acústicos sutis, letras desoladas e forte carga existencial, o trabalho evoca nomes como Nick Drake, Neil Young e Beach Boys dos anos 70. Destacam-se faixas como "Falling Through My Hands", balada de beleza singular sobre desilusões amorosas, consolidando o artista no auge de sua maturidade e sensibilidade musical.

Beck erreicht ein trauriges, wunderschönes neues Hoch mit „Ride Lonesome“
Becks erstes Album seit sieben Jahren ist eine sublime Rückkehr zum düsteren Folk-Rock seiner Karrierehöhepunkte wie „Sea Change“ (2002) und „Morning Phase“ (2014). „You’ve got to cry a river“, singt er vor der gemessenen Drift des titelgebenden Eröffnungsstücks „Ride Lonesome“. Hier führt der Tränenstrom in einen Ozean aus warmem Gold.
Beck Hits a Sad, Beautiful New High on ‘Ride Lonesome’
Beck’s first album in seven years is a sublime return to the somber folk-rock of career highpoints like 2002’s Sea Change and 2014’s Morning Phase. “You’ve got to cry a river,” he offers against the stately drift of the album opening title track, “Ride Lonesome.” Here the river of tears leads to an ocean of mellow gold.
The 30 Best Songs About Cats Original
Cat lovers Al Stewart, Beyonce and Robert Smith kpa/United Archives/Getty Images; Todd Plitt/Getty Images; Brian Rasic/Getty Images The Romans believed that cats could see ghosts. In Aztec and Mayan folklore, cats were esteemed as guides to the underworld. For the Greeks, cats shared a cosmic connection with the lunar cycle. In 16th century England, people were convinced that if a cat jumped over a human corpse, the deceased person would turn into a vampire. All of this stuff is true, of course.
Brandon Flowers se aventura pelo country, mas se perde nas estradas secundárias
O vocalista do The Killers faz um bom trabalho solo ao incorporar seus heróis de Nashville em Thrasher, mas o trem do mistério nem sempre permanece nos trilhos Resumo Em seu terceiro álbum solo, Thrasher, Brandon Flowers (The Killers) mergulha no country gravado em Nashville ao lado de músicos renomados. Embora o projeto conte com momentos inspirados e homenagens às suas raízes, o vocalista peca pelo excesso de drama e por vocais grandiloquentes, que distanciam a obra do calor típico do gênero.

Reseña: The Gold Album de Weezer
★★★★ Weezer siempre ha tenido una afinidad por los álbumes conceptuales, ya sea porque está imaginando cómo serían “unos Beach Boys más rudos” (Pacific Daydream, 2017), haciendo sus propias versiones de hits radiales (The Teal Album, 2019), reconectando con su lado más sensible (OK Human, 2021) o rindiendo tributo al metal ochentero (Van Weezer, 2021).
El vigésimo álbum de Weezer vale oro
Weezer siempre ha tenido debilidad por los discos conceptuales, ya sea imaginando a “los Beach Boys echados a perder” (Pacific Daydream, 2017), haciendo una selección de entrañables éxitos antiguos de la radio (The Teal Album, 2019), conectando con su lado cuasi sensible (OK Human, 2021) o rindiendo tributo a los grandes del metal de los ochenta (en Van Weezer, lanzado ese mismo año).
Brandon Flowers Goes Country But Gets a Little Lost on the Back Roads Original
The Killers frontman does a solid job channeling his Nashville heroes on Thrasher, but the mystery train doesn’t always stay on track Ever since Bob Dylan cut Nashville Skyline in 1969, rockers have been going to Music City to refresh their sounds, kick it with the world’s best session pros, and drink deep the rejuvenating well of local realness. For his third solo album, Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has gone all-in with a full-fledged country record.
Weezers 20. Album ist so gut wie Gold
Weezer hatten schon immer ein Faible für Konzeptalben – ob sie sich die „Beach Boys gone bad“ vorstellten (2017: „Pacific Daydream“), geliebte Radiohits der Vergangenheit einspielten (2019: „The Teal Album“), ihre quasi-sensible Seite erkundeten (2021: „OK Human“) oder den Achtziger-Metal-Göttern huldigten (ebenfalls 2021: „Van Weezer“).

O 20º álbum do Weezer é bom demais
Com um clima mais solto e músicas de primeira, é difícil imaginar um disco melhor desta banda — tão avançada na carreira — do que o The Gold Album Resumo Em seu 20º LP, "The Gold Album", o Weezer retoma com louvor a sonoridade clássica de seus primeiros trabalhos nos anos 1990. Produzido por Kenny Beats, o disco aposta em uma estética garage rock crua e pesada, unindo refrãos grudentos a reflexões irônicas sobre a meia-idade e a própria indústria musical.
Weezer’s 20th Album Is Good as Gold
Weezer has always had a thing for concept records, whether they’re imagining “the Beach Boys gone bad” (2017’s Pacific Daydream), doing a set of beloved old radio hits (2019’s The Teal Album), getting in touch with their quasi-sensitive side (2021’s OK Human) or paying tribute to the Eighties metal greats (that same year’s Van Weezer).

Muse nos deja completamente cautivados con su décimo álbum
El décimo álbum de Muse toma su nombre de la Señal Wow!, una transmisión de radio inexplicable detectada por un astrónomo atónito en 1977, que se ha considerado un posible ejemplo de comunicación extraterrestre. La cantidad de pompa y virtuosismo que Muse puede desplegar en una sola canción tiene un cierto factor sorpresa; temas como ‘Uprising’ y ‘Supermassive Black Hole’ los convirtieron en referentes del rock de estadios enérgicos.
Muse dreschen uns mit ihrem zehnten Album in Unterwerfung
Das zehnte Muse-Album verdankt seinen Namen dem Wow! Signal – einer unerklärten Radiotransmission, die 1977 einen fassungslosen Astronomen aus dem Häuschen brachte und seitdem als mögliches Beispiel außerirdischer Kommunikation gilt. Der Pomp und Druck, den Muse in einen einzigen Song packen können, hat durchaus seinen eigenen Wow-Faktor; Tracks wie „Uprising“ und „Supermassive Black Hole“ machten sie zu Anführern des faustpumpenden Arena-Rocks.

Crítica: Foo Fighters – ‘Your Favorite Toy’

Kneecap Make the Most of their Spotlight on ‘Fenian’
Kneecap are a politically charged, hard-partying, musically explosive rap crew from the north of Ireland who’ve been at it for nearly a decade. But it wouldn’t be your fault if you knew more about the controversies they’ve been embroiled in than the music they’ve put out. Rappers Mo Chara and Móglaí Bap, along with DJ Próvaí, have always put their leftist sympathies front and center on their music.
