Album Reviews
Beloved Italian singer Eros Ramazzotti's reputation as an international pop star was solidified with this guitar-heavy, rock-leaning album. Several strong songs on this set include the opener "Cosas de la Vida" (which later resurfaced as a duet with Tina Turner), "A Medio Camino," and the duet "En Compania." "Nostalsong," as the name implies, has a nostalgic feel to it, and "Nada de Malo" is one of the album's catchier, more upbeat tunes. There's also a heavy emphasis on slow numbers, several of which are saved for the end of the album, resulting in an anticlimactic ending. Some, such as "Un Fuerte No," recall 1980s power ballads, this particular one complete with gospel undertones. This album's saving grace is Ramazzotti's passionate and capable singing, and a good number of powerful and catchy Latin/Italian rock songs. ~ Jose F. Promis, All Music Guide

Dear Science TV On The Radio |
| On the way to be established as the best American band of the decade, TV on the Radio's third album has arrived surrounded by five star reviews. Good news is the music totally justifies this level of hype. The Brooklyn-based combo has not abandoned their experimental nature; albeit "Dear Science" sounds deliberately shinier, funkier and more accessible than its, already polished, precursor "Return to Cookie Mountain." Lyrically, though, is quite a darker proposition. Many see on its tone a suitable metaphor to describe their country's collective mood, demoralized and confused, right at the end of Bush's presidency. The band's eclecticism is on full display: electro hooks next to D&B touches; shoegaze's atmospheric layers mixed with post-rock's bass lines via P-funk, often all in the same song. This sonic fusion can be as impressive as disorientating; rich and dense, but also the key that makes TV on the Radio's work improve with repeated listening. Main vocalist Tunde Adebimpe, often helped by guitar player Kyp Malone on second vocals, appears as a sort of missing link between Peter Gabriel and Prince; whereas David Sitek recently turned into producer du jour, applies his multi-instrument playing skills. Members of Antibalas guest on horns, highlighting the romance a new generation of US bands is having with African music. Celebration's Katrina Ford also helps in the mighty single "Golden Age" and the ballad "Family Tree", another of the album's many standout moments. . | |
