Dans la catégorie: éternellement jeune.....


Santana IV is a canny title for this deja vu. The album reunites most of the Woodstock-'69 Santana – founding guitarist Carlos Santana, drummer Michael Shrieve, singer-organist Gregg Rolie and percussionist Michael Carabello – with guitarist Neal Schon, a teenage prodigy when he joined in time for the third album, 1971's Santana. That record's focused advance on conga-fired soul and jazz, cut short by the group's implosion, is vigorously reprised here. "Love Makes the World Go Round," with vocal guest Ronald Isley, picks up the street-party charge of "Everybody's Everything" on the '71 LP; the instrumental memoir "Fillmore East" and spaced-blues finale "Forgiveness" are authentic modal suspense and late-set ascension.

LP

Judas Priest, Battle Cry



Which is why the flaws in Judas Priest’s live show sting just that much more. Negatives first: the fact that Rob doesn’t know the lyrics to many of these songs is disappointing on a multitude of levels, and it’s pretty obvious that he’s reading off the Teleprompters near the monitors. The sunglasses don’t hide it, and neither does looking at the crowd assuredly for a few seconds during the anthemic chorus parts. As well, the fact that Battle Cry disproportionately focuses on guitar player Richie Faulkner, K.K. Downing’s replacement, is also disappointing, though it’s understandable as the 36 year old is the youngest on stage and he has genuine charisma. But, hey, he didn’t create this legacy: the rest of the band did. And, call me a purist, but that’s where the focus should be, instead of showcasing the photogenic new guy too much.

In its totality, however, Battle Cry is an enjoyable package, particularly for long-time Priest fans. The visual quality is top-notch, and the performance is visceral, on point and impressive, especially given how long this axe has been swinging. Sure, there’s some occasional missed notes and weird stuff going on with the drums at points, but that adds to the authenticity of the performance and is part of the genuineness that people crave from these types of releases. Further, the setlist features the hits but also impressive new material, and it’s eye-opening to hear how well “Halls Of Valhalla”, “Redeemer Of Souls” and “Dragonaut” fit in with the classic, iconic tracks.

Un incontournable classique parmi les classiques

Pour Cathedral Spires

bon j'ai acheté cet album il y a plusieurs semaines et donc je me suis donné le temps pour avoir un avis ...a la base je suis fan de ce groupe , un album comme celui que j’appelle rock and roll (1981 )fait partie de mes albums de chevet ... donc pour moi ce nouvel opus ...bin je ne retrouve pas la hargne dans les riffs , le chant est sympas , différent , normal me direz vous , mais la , la musique manque de peps , cet album est triste , lent pas une seule vague , une mer d'huile ..... bon il se laisse écouter mais il ne restera pas dans les anales ... c'est toujours du OCEAN , mais selon moi c'est un autre OCEAN ....
