228) The Smashing Pumpkins-Oceania 2012

Av Mikael Persson - 4 mars 2014 18:06

 


I really like the cover of Smashing Pumpkins' 9th studioalbum! The music is progressive hardrock/rock/pop with Billy Corgan's unique nasal vocals making much of the melody in the songs. Good first 4 songs but then it looses tempo and after 9 songs I have fallen asleep. There are no bad songs though, it's just too soft to keep my interest up. It's very spacy and big sounding and I really like the incredibly intense drumwork on the whole album.


1)Quasar (7,0) Progressive and chaotic song with wild weird drumming. Cool.

2)Panopticon (7,0) Sames as above but more melodic.

3)The celestials (8,0) First melodic acoustic and then a very good hardrock song.

4)Violete rays (7,0) Nice melodic piece.

5)My love is winter (7,0) Same as above.

6)One diamond, one heart (5,5) Synth-beat with spacy guitars.

7)Pinwheels (5,0) First a long pling-plong-play with synhesizers and then acoustic progressive pop.

8)Oceania (6,0) 9 minutes of halfboring but halfcharming progressive popmusic.

9)Pale horse (5,5)

10)The chimera (7,5)

11)Glissandra (6,5)

12)Inkless (6,5)

13)Wildflower (4,0)


Score: 6,35

    Album number two from this incredible supergroup that made some unforgettable music in the 1980's! This is again melodic hardrock with a lot of keyboards and with impressing melodic, orchestral and powerful songs with fantastic vocals. A mus...

    8 years into their albumreleasingcareer J. Geils Band released another album worth of rockin' and rollin' songs but this time they took a much calmer and poppier path and not all the songs are top class anymore. It seemes like they went out ...

    Another one of my favorite bands from the 1980's and 90's. I have always loved thier simple and bluesy hardrocksongs with singer Jack Russell's clear and sensetive vocals. This, their 3rd album is one of the highlights of the band's career a...
