Broken Social Scene – Forgiveness Rock Record (Arts & Crafts)
I’m of two minds about Forgiveness Rock Record, the record and it’s Polaris nomination. It’s probably me just projecting my feelings on to others, but it often feels like the jury is trying to retroactively reward some bands’ past creativity on albums that predate the prize’s inception. Recent Twi-hard inductees, Metric, were nominated for both Live It Out and Fantasies, both uninspired, regurgitated, synth-pop when they could have been acknowledged for their two previous albums which you could at least dance to if not mope over privately. The other band in this situation is Broken Social Scene, additionally nominated for their self-titled 2005 album. Forgiveness by most measures is a solid rock album, and stays true to form, but it is not the material that got the band to where they are today. The characteristic yelps of backstage bandmates remain, but the hooks are tired. In the early 2000′s Canadians were seeking a new sound and BSS delivered, but now that sound has gone stale and it’s the other bands on this list who are pushing things forward. Broken Social Scene, like Metric, plowed their way on to the shortlist but only on old momentum and by virtue of their Canadian indie rock royalty status. I doubt they’ll win, but I don’t doubt they’ll be back here with another album. Polaris purgatory. — Justin Everett
As duas mentes sobre o Rock Record, o registro de candidatura e Polaris. É provavelmente se projetando meus sentimentos aos outros, mas freqüentemente me sento como o júri que está tentando recompensar com criatividade de algumas bandas no passado nos álbuns que antecedem o início do prêmio. Recentes Twi-hard, Metric, foram nomeados para os dois Live It Out e fantasias, ambos inspirados, o synth-pop, quando poderia ter sido reconhecido por seus dois álbuns anteriores, que você pode dançar, pelo menos, se não mais reservadamente. A outra banda nesta situação é Broken Social Scene, além de serem nomeado com o auto-intitulado álbum de 2005 ". Que permanece fiel à forma, mas não é o material que a banda possui hoje em dia.
Broken Social Scene, como Metric, forão para a lista, mas apenas em ritmo de idade e em virtude do seu estatuto de indie rock canadense. Duvido que eles vão ganhar, mas não duvido que eles vão voltar aqui com outro álbum.
Há algode bom e louco na musica pop Best Coast . O álbum já recebeu críticas positivas da mídia indie, e todos de Bill Murray para Thurston Moore (dos Sonic Youth fama) são fãs. Dada a preponderância de melhor ccoisa da Costa em NPR, seus pais podem até mesmo ser fãs. Claro, Best Costa pode ser apenas outra banda zumbido no grande esquema , mas agora, eles são adorado por quase todos.
Mas por quê? O que é isso, exatamente, que faz Crazy for You como um álbum popular e aclamado pela crítica?
Não há uma resposta fácil para que, na verdade. Crazy for You é um atrativo, o álbum pop e simples. Saiba: as harmonias são doce. As letras são extremamente simples . Não é um rockDdos anos 60 ou um simples surf vibe correndo através do álbum, fazendo o ouvinte correr para a costa da Califórnia para um bronzeado rápido, ou talvez quebrar a sua cópia do The Beach Boys Pet Sound
Se há um factor comum em todas as revisões positivas deste álbum, é o som, iluminzdo com o a calor californiano, que foi universalmente aclamado como irresistível e cativante. Os críticos são tão encantado com essa qualidade, na verdade, que eles dar desculpas para as transgressões do álbum. É preocupante, por exemplo, que as letras frontwoman Betânia Cosentino recebem elogios por ser "simples". Cosentino compara-se a uma letrista de 1966, não tendo um cuidado no mundo, exceto para a insolação, pote, e amor. As palavras "amor","pretende", "erva daninha", "telefone" e "correr" (testo traduzido) preguiçosos em seus tímpanos tantas vezes, você se torna a certeza de que você está ouvindo uma espécie de hino hippie. Ela lamenta em sua melhor voz como Liz Phair em "Goodbye": "Nada me faz feliz / Não TV ou mesmo um monte de erva,
There is something about Best Coast’s debut album Crazy for You that makes people go, well, crazy. To date, the album has garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews from indie media outlets, and everyone from Bill Murray to Thurston Moore (of Sonic Youth fame) is a fan. Given the preponderance of Best Coast coverage on NPR, your parents might even be fans. Sure, Best Coast might just be another buzz band in the grand scheme of things, but right now, they’re adored by almost everyone.
But why? What is it, exactly, that makes Crazy for You such a popular and critically-acclaimed album?
There’s an easy answer to that, really. Crazy for You is a catchy, simple pop album. To wit: the harmonies are saccharine-sweet. The lyrics are extremely simple and relatable. There is a ‘60s surf rock vibe running through the album, making the listener want to run to the California coastline for a quick tan—or perhaps break out their copy of The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds, either way.
If there is a common factor in every positive review of this album, it’s the sunny, Californian sound, which has been universally hailed as irresistible and catchy. Critics are so enamored of this quality, in fact, that they nonchalantly make excuses for the album’s transgressions. It’s worrying, for example, that frontwoman Bethany Cosentino’s lyrics receive so much praise for being “straightforward.” Cosentino likens herself to a lyricist circa 1966, not having a care in the world except for sunshine, pot, and love. The words “love,” “miss,” “want,” “weed,” “phone,” and “lazy” run across your eardrums so often, you become certain that you’re listening to some sort of hippie’s hymn. However, rather than emulating simple, doo-wop Supremes-esque lovelorn lyricism, Cosentino comes across as asinine. She laments in her best Liz Phair vocals on “Goodbye”: “Nothing makes me happy / not even TV or a bunch of weed,” evoking not the teenage innocence of yesteryear, but rather the indolence and unpleasantness of your neighborhood high school burnouts.
Cosentino’s partner in Best Coast, Bobb Bruno, is responsible for the band’s sound: the jangly, lo-fi guitars, drums that span from early ‘60s R&B rhythms all the way to punk, and far-off vocals that seem forever in reverie. The band is acknowledged as an update to the Jesus and Mary Chain, and this is a legitimate assessment. But Best Coast is just that—a cheap rendition of bands that already did it before and, frankly, better. Even the Jesus and Mary Chain borrowed from the Ronettes, making Crazy for You a derivative of a derivative. The psych-pop and surf rock motif has become stale in modern-day indie rock, and the complacency—nay, acceptance of this trend is borderline alarming. Cosentino knows she’s not bringing anything new to music, but her debut isn’t even interesting enough to demand your attention and differentiate Best Coast from hundreds of bands doing the same thing. To the album’s credit, Bruno occasionally livens up the lethargy and contributes something approaching original, adding some punk energy to a few songs, such as the last few moments of “I Want To”. It flashes, giving a glimmer of hope, but sadly, it leaves almost as fast as it came, burning out with the burnouts.
Granted, given the fact that Crazy for You blends these insipid lyrics and trite, overused musical tricks, perhaps you could argue that Best Coast does give us something relatively uncommon in indie rock. Indie, by default, is supposed to be a brainy, bookish genre, not averse to delivering simple pop melodies, yet maintaining a smart sensibility. Cosentino has mentioned that she wanted Best Coast to be more straightforward than most indie rock bands, and she succeeded there. Perhaps an indie band that rips off ‘60s pop, shying away from lofty lyrics in favor of vapid teenage journal entries, could be considered a new and refreshing thing—who knows? But now, they have amassed a following, all from people who (content with their own hypocrisy and incongruity) have abandoned their ideology for the sake of happy-go-lucky songs about getting high with cats. Maybe indie really is dead.

The Drums must really like summer. They sing about surfing, are trendily retro, and release fun albums of perfect summer jams in time for summer. The Drums just released their self title debut LP on June 7 and it is replete with all the characteristics necessary for summertime fun. Handclaps - check, poppy/shoegazey guitars and synths- check, Beatles-esque vocals about girls and longing - check. Its all there. The songs are upbeat and poppy, but with enough 60's lo-fi throwback and haze to make them worth coming back to. The album is solid all the way through and great for listening to outside this summer. Trust me the album is really good. Below are a couple of my favorites.
The Drums são a banda do verão neste nos Estados Unidos "quando escrevi este post o time de futebo americano estava classificado justamente na proxima fase da Copa do Mundo 2010" já que suas músicas remtem a este momento
lançaram seu primeiro album em junho dia 7 tem todos as caracteristicas de uma banda pop dos anos 90 o estilo Shogazer de tocar guitarra e sinteziadores apesar de eu ouvir o som e achar que estão mais para bandas Inglesas como Ride e Revolver de qualquer forma tire suas proprias conclusões caso compre o album ok
