My Bloody Valentine
Re: My Bloody Valentine
Arrivato anche a me, mi sembra un po' fatto in casa. Si accosta bene ai remasters comunque.

Re: My Bloody Valentine
Ho due biglietti da vendere per il loro concerto a Bologna, se qualcuno fosse interessato...
Ho saputo che suoneranno anche in Slovenia, molto più semplice e comoda da raggiungere per me!

Re: My Bloody Valentine
Scaruffi.....
For a band that was hardly known when it was changing the course of rock music, it was surprising that its reunion caused so much sensation. Their first album in two decades, MBV (2013), was heralded as a masterpiece by pretty much all the publications that had ignored their real masterpieces. Truth is that the beginning borders on self-parody: She Found Now (basically an update of Sometimes) whispers lounge pop to an endlessly repetitive guitar pattern; the amateurish shoegaze-pop of Only Tomorrow has an unfinished guitar progression that the average hard-rock band would have turned into dynamite; and Who Sees You (basically an update of Only Shallow) boasts one of the most predictable guitar solos of the genre. If nothing else, the second trio of songs drops Shields' annoying whisper for Bilinda Butcher's coldly morbid hissing. However, the suspenseful and futuristic cosmic quasi-instrumental Is This And Yes is hardly innovative 20 years after Stereolab; and If I Am is little more than a nostalgic tribute to the film music of the 1960s. New You is a winner, relatively speaking, of what used to be called "bubblegum pop": a marching progression a` la Tommy Roe's Dizzy, a guitar vibrato a` la Tommy James' Crimson & Clover, etc. This Freudian return to the (rock) womb continues on the chaotic imitation of the Madchester sound of the 1990s of In Another Way. The album closes with the two "experimental" pieces. Other than looping a frenzied drum pattern, it is not clear what the instrumental Nothing Is is trying to achieve. Wonder 2 is hyper-distorted warped psychedelia and does certainly more than simply update Loveless to the 21st century. However, the problem remains the same: a trivial idea gets repeated endlessly without coalescing into anything of substance.
There is little to salvage on this collection of mediocre derivative songs. This is the confused work of musicians with no inspiration who desperately try different styles hoping that at least one will work. Maybe there were not so great after all. In the annals of rock music i can't remember a reunion that did not disappoint. I would be glad to write that this is the exception to the rule.

Re: My Bloody Valentine
Nel 2013 non si può ancora dare importanza alle parole di Scaruffi.
Re: My Bloody Valentine
certo che no, era un risvolto comico 
Re: My Bloody Valentine
il 27 maggio suonano a bologna a meno di un'ora di macchina...devo andare? vale ancora la pena?
Re: My Bloody Valentine
vediamo se riesco...cmq io vado già avanti e spero in un seguito discografico, per capire dove le ultime 3 tracce posso svilupparsi e approdare...secondo me hanno da dare ancora...non l'avrei detto ma come scrivete nella recensione i MBV sono un genere.
