Verder hebben Echo en de konijnenmannen een paar pracht platen afgeleverd. De vreugde divisie ook.

In het metalgenre kies ik voor Reign in Blood.


Bij hardcore/punk/alternative weet ik het niet:

New Day Rising van Hüsker Dü? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lq_TowFGLU8

Of Psychedelic Jungle van The Cramps? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7RVymaTMkc

Of toch The Days of Wine and Roses van the Dream Syndicate? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww5DJjiH_zQ

Of R.E.M.'s Fables of the Reconstruction? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL3b0B3xqV8

Couldnt agree more, hoewel Operation Mindcrime van Queensryche ook dicht in de buurt komt

Slayer-Reign in Blood, en dan vooral voor imo het beste metal nr allertijden: Reigning Blood

If What Makes a Man Start Fires? was a remarkable step forward from the Minutemen's promising debut album, The Punch Line, then Double Nickels on the Dime was a quantum leap into greatness, a sprawling 44-song set that was as impressive as it was ambitious.

While punk rock was obviously the starting point for the Minutemen's musical journey (which they celebrated on the funny and moving History Lesson Part II), by this point the group seemed up for almost anything -D. Boon's guitar work suggested the adventurous melodic sense of jazz tempered with the bite and concision of punk rock, while Mike Watt's full-bodied bass was the perfect foil for Boon's leads and drummer George Hurley possessed a snap and swing that would be the envy of nearly any band. In the course of Double Nickels on the Dime's four sides, the band tackles leftist punk (Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing), Spanish guitar workouts (Cohesion) neo-Nortena polka (Corona), blues-based laments (Jesus and Tequila;), avant-garde exercises (Mr. Robot's Holy Orders), and even a stripped-to-the-frame Van Halen cover (Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love).

From start to finish, the Minutemen play and sing with an estimable intelligence and unshakable conviction, and the album is full of striking moments that cohere into a truly remarkable whole; all three members write with smarts, good humor, and an eye for the adventurous, and they hit pay dirt with startling frequency. And if Ethan James' production is a bit Spartan, it's also efficient, cleaner than their work with Spot, and captures the performances with clarity (and without intruding upon the band's ideas). Simply put, Double Nickels on the Dime was the finest album of the Minutemen's career, and one of the very best American rock albums of the 1980s.

Ever notice how rock bands tend to keep things interesting for themselves by pointlessly dragging out their songs and introducing awkward conceptual threads? Also, how many bands veil their subject matter in euphemisms to avoid being taken literally, to stay safe, or better yet to be mysterious? Big Black's final LP does the diametric opposite of both. Not only do the 14 songs here whip by with only one exceeding the three-minute mark, but each one is incisive enough to render a razor as effective as a butter knife. And, how could a title be more direct? The only band that had courage enough to be this direct was Spinal Tap, and that was for a song, not an album title. (Clue: it was a ballad in the saddest of keys).

Songs About Fucking brought about a definite sharpening of the band's sound. Steve Albini's mangled screaming is at its most bileful, his and Santiago Durango's guitars don't meander, and the rhythm section of Dave Riley and Roland is more taut than prior. Ugly characters line up in the songs like early arrivals at a monster truck rally. Most significantly, there's the murderer in Fish Fry. Who else but Steve Albini could paint the picture of a man hosing out his truck after chucking a dead body from it into a nearby pond? His use of the first person can be misleading, but it's a necessary perspective for effect. Big Black left with more of a kling klang than a bang, bowing out with a reverent cover of Kraftwerk's The Model. To sum up: yowl, ching, thump-thump-screech. [The CD version adds the B-side of The Model, a swell cover of Cheap Trick's He's a Whore.]

Ja ja ja die is ook erg fijn ja. Steve Albini is en blijft briljant. En vergeet Repeater van Fugazi niet.

Het eerste album dat ik noemde in dit topic is van Fugazi 13 songs, niet Repeater want die komt uit 1990 volgens mij.
