Levellers - Levelling the land

'Levelling the Land' is named second album of Celtic rock band of
The levellers.
Imagine a punk-rock Waterboys doing a better job of balancing
their rock and acoustic incarnations, and you'll have a fix on
this raggle-taggle, fiddle-driven U.K. quintet.

Though not a masterwork on the order of LONDON CALLING or WAR,
LEVELLING THE LAND is rife with the same urgency and indomitability
that made those records impossible to ignore.They're influenced by
U2,The Waterboys.

They're enjoyable enough and have a way with instant anthems,
and that's about it.
Standout songs:The Game,The Riverflow

Modern Music Top 10

1.The mars volta - Vicarious Atonement
2.James D. Bradfield - That's No Way To Tell A Lie
3.Sleepy jackson - god lead your soul
4.New York Dolls - Dance like a monkey
5.Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down
6.Stuart Stables - That Leaving Feeling
7.Tom petty - Saving Grace
8.Adam Green - NAT KING COLE(New!)
9.Barry Adamson - here in the hole(New!)
10.Dears - Hate Then Love

Yeah Mars Volta is #1 their song from last album Amputechture
which is including Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist
John Frusciante who is featured as guest
guitarist on every track of Amputechture.
'God Lead Your Soul', this sounds like the results of someone who's
listened to Pet Sounds one time too many, while Luke Steele's
dangerously high vocal suggests a certain tender part of his anatomy
must have been trapped in a vice throughout the making of this record.

Eels - Beautiful Freak


Album of the day
Beautiful Freak (1996) is the album by musician Mark Oliver Everett where he began using a full band and the name Eels (in an attempt to get the records in the same general location in the stores as his previous works under the name "E"). It contains an interesting mix of lo-fi, rock and pop songs including the singles "Novocaine for the Soul" and "Susan's House". "My Beloved Monster" was later used in the soundtrack of Shrek. Influences include hip hop, and grunge. The two other musicians listed as members of the "band" on this album are drummer Butch Norton and bass player Tommy Walter.
Mental is the standout song which is my recommendation to you. Great harmony and wanderful record of Eels.

Morrissey


Modern Music Special Artist:Morrissey
Morrissey is maybe one the best songwriter in these days.i always respect his
compositions even if i didn't like.

Morrissey is often noted as one of the key pop lyricists of his
generation, with many subsequent bands hailing his influence.Maybe
he is a landmark of indie rock.Obviously his works with smith was the milestone of
indie rock.

Belive me,his 'Ringleader of the Tormentors' is a great last record.But it needs
time for growing on you.When i first listened,i was talking too much about it
complaints,complaints...After listen a while i was ashamed of myself.
Because Morrissey knows the best and his last record is great too.Now it's time to meet miracle style of adult pop/rock,indie pop/rock masterpieces.The standout album should be 'Your Arsenal' which is his best solo work.Also 'You Are the Quarry' is a great one.

Morrissey - Ringleader of tormenters
Morrissey - Maladjusted
Morrissey - Viva hate
Morrissey - Your arsenal
Morrissey - Vauxhall and i

For Music Collectors:New Wave Albums

Siouxsie and the Banshees actually they were punk-post punk group but Their musical career also encompassed the gothic rock and new wave genres.

Roxy Music was a significant influence on the early British punk movement, as well as providing a model for many "New Wave" acts and the subsequent New Romantic and experimental electronic groups of the early 1980s.

Patti smith,Called "punk rock's poet laureate", she brought a feminist and intellectual take to punk music and became one of rock and roll's most influential female musicians.She hasn't had any worthless album.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Boatman's Call

Album Of the week
The Boatman's Call is the tenth studio album released by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
Nick Cave has never bad taste in music.And he has never made a bad album. Nick Cave darkness is on this album,It's simply a masterpiece.

Fans of The Boatman's Call would love the albums "New Mother" and "How I Loved You" by Angels of Light, since these contain similar great melodic ballads of gravitas and solemnity.

Some songs are directed at either Cave's "ex-wife", the Brazilian Viviane Carneiro (track 7, for example) or his recent "ex-lover" PJ Harvey (the "West Country Girl" with "Black Hair" and "Green Eyes").

Phoenix - It's Never Been Like That - 2006

After a 18 month break after the release of LIVE: Thirty Days Ago, French indie pop-rockers Phoenix return with their new studio album, It's Never Been Like That. Filled with a somewhat chaotic mix of quirky and progressive pop rock, Phoenix offers an album sure to please existing fans of the band.

It's Never Been Like That strives for the same kind of elan, but bravely widens the band's scope to fully embrace elements of 70's / 80's / 90's FM pop at which they've only hinted before.

Even limited exposure to this French band's music is liable to turn the listener into a crazed zealot desperate to "just turn people on" to their music or to wander about aimlessly wondering aloud why they're not at least as well known as, say, Erlend Oye. The band's been relentlessly eclectic since they formed in the late '90s; they make hybrid music, an electronic-flavored rock that's impossible to describe without using up half a dozen hyphens in the process.

I can recommend this new record if you've loved previous Phoenix albums.
Picks:Rally,Lost And Found,Courtesy Laughs

MM Album Review

Quite Weird Amazing Record!But still unexplicit.


Their music comes to mean hardly after
listening the fifth song 'It Fit When I Was a Kid'.

Actually i didn't find melodious their vocals with experimental tunes.'It Fit When I Was a Kid' is a fresh thing.But i can say first four song quite old school.They aren't going to bring new things to my ears,only some music trials.

I found their sound as well as Sonic Youth. Their experimental music is growing on me.But it's hard to say they are a new addiction. With dark, shimmering guitars that recall EVOL-era Sonic Youth and minimal but monumental drumming,
it's full of beauty and brooding that is immediately exploded by the growling drones
and heavy, tribal polythrhythms of 'Let's Not Wrestle Mt'.'The Wrong Coat For You Mt. Heart Attack' is quite gripping and spectacular.Vocals are so spectecular and he soon came out of his shell.

Mostly this album holds experimental rock, Post-Rock melodies.Again 'Hold You, Drum' chokes sound of the album.You will feel the same suffocating till the end of album.Maybe 'You, Drum' saves itself with hypnotic taunting.
Other Good Ones:
Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped

Blonde Redhead - Messenger

I sometimes wonder if "art for art" is a good purpose in life. For many artists, this looks like the way. Blonde Redhead refuses...
