 Here are some of the aspirants (still waiting for the new Aereogramme promo record though and also Damien Rice), but I'm not quite sure yet. Isis + Aereogramme - In the fishtank (a two-day studio session between both bands arranged by the dutch Konkurrent label, very atmospheric and breath-taking, the strongest candidate for rank 1, 2 or 3, I'm sure) Blumfeld - Verbotene Früchte Pendikel - Don't cry, Mondgesicht Kante - Die Tiere sind unruhig Morrissey - Ringleader of the tormentors Tarentatec - dito The Paper Chase - Now you are one of us Tool - 10,000 days Last edited by Hendrik; 10-23-2006 at 04:46 PM. |

^ And this from a woman who once said all of Rouse's albums sound alike. Tssss........
1972 is his best work.

Well THIS one sounds a lot better than the others.
And 1972 has its moments, but it's a bit dull. You might say 1972 is so 2003

You can say a lot of things about 1972 but dull is not one of them. For one thing, it's musically his most versatile album. Not to mention the grooviest thing he'll ever put out. Subtítulo is surprisingly week lyrically (maybe even shockingly so considering the lush storytelling framework of his previous work) and has at least two 'filler' tracks (the instrumentals, somewhat pretentiously titled in Spanish too). I'm not complaining tho, the majority of Sub is lovely, just not on a par with 1972.

Maybe I feel differently for the two albums cause I've seen Josh Live solo perform mainly subtitolo material twice (TWICE) this year, and I haven't had the same experience w 1972 (Plus I don't like his band that much, and 1972 + Nashville material reminds me of them cause that's what they played when I heard them live a while ago.. Oh I guess I gotta get back to work..  edit: Okay, new sh*t has come to light; had time to listen through 1972 AND Nashville and come to think of it, I think I mixed up the two - 1972 has far more zest than Nashville. Mkay. another edit: 'La Costa Blanca', the instrumental track is quite awful, but I don't see the pretentiousness about it - La Costa Blanca is an area in Spain (probably where he resides these days), should he have renamed it 'the white coast'? You know, sh*t, man.

 ) so I recon he'd be worth seeing - they especially emphasized the intensity of his performance so it can't be all bad.

Subtitled What is? Who is he addressing here? His English speaking audience? The Spanish one? Both? Neither? You can't name your album like that and then do nothing with it. From the English speaking side, I'm sure he partly intended it as tongue-in-cheek ("and that's cool, man...that's cool") given that all songs are sung in English and hence need no subtitles. But then... Josh goes supermegacheeky on our asses and titles the two wordless (and weakest) songs on the album in Spanish. I mean, come on, why be cute for cuteness sake (we already know you are, Josh); "instrumental/untitled" would have been just fine too. And to make it extra irritating, the few lyrics present in "El Otro Lado" are sung in English! AND the woman guest vocaling on "The Man Who..." is Spanish, but Josh makes her sing in English. ARGH!!! What's the Subtítulo title supposed to refer to then? Josh either thought very long and hard about this (which would negate the funniness of it all) and this is supposed to be some kind of tribute/ode to Spain (which I'm pretty sure this album is) or he was just being random and thought it to be quirky to throw in some Spanglish words in the mix (which I can only hope is *not* the case). In any event, the result doesn't quite come out successfully but annoying instead. (The story goes, btw, that once he relocated to Spain Josh vowed to sing exclusively in Spanish.) We'll cover the album COVER some other time:  The mid-section (where the face + neck would come) actually looks like Portugal.
