The LP version of this release was called ALBUM. The cassette version was called CASSETTE.

Public Image Limited's eighth album takes no prisoners, opening with crunching chords and John Lydon's snarling in "FFF." Released in a generic blue-and-white sleeve--each format titled accordingly--this is arguably PIL's most consistently successful album. "Rise" is an amazing piece of work and a high point in the band's career. Lydon's lyrics about torture in South Africa afford him the opportunity to use all of his vocal tricks--from his patented warble to angry shouting. He even sings(!) on the great chorus. The musical backing highlights big-beat drumming, ringing guitar, and an agile, fluid bassline.

Production assistance from Bill Laswell does two important things for the band's sound. It gives weight to the rhythm section and also adds harshness to the guitars, making them more suited to Lydon's caustic vocals. "Ease" experiments with the drone of the didgeridoo. "Home" is a crashing rock song that, while proclaiming "Better days will never be," manages to suggest that righteous anger can be a force for change. This is a classic album by a band with a history of uniformly fine material.

4 stars 80's alt rock
Half this CD is very guitar heavy. "FFF", "Fishing" and "Bags" rock pretty hard. If you don't have a problem with Lydon's rather distinctive vocal style, then it's a great CD. It still holds up after 20 years.

Compact Disc

Includes tracks from The Black Crowes' two unreleased albums, BAND and TALL. A veritable Holy Grail for devoted Black Crowes fans, this two-disc set presents a slew of previously unreleased mid-to-late-1990s sessions, providing invaluable fly-on-the-wall examples of the band's creative process. The first disc, recorded in Nashville during '97, finds the blues-rock ensemble settling into a rootsy groove on tracks such as the soulful "If It Ever Stops Raining," a song that would morph into "By Your Side," while the second disc revisits the group's '93/'94 L.A.-based era for a number of tunes that would turn up on AMORICA, including early versions of the folk-tinged "Wiser Time" and the melancholy "Descending." For Crowes diehards, this compilation is essential. Ce qui devait n’être qu’un projet récréatif musical au départ a vite pris une toute autre direction pour Lucenda, jeune chanteuse R&B francophone d’origine haïtienne. En janvier 2004, alors âgée de 13 ans, Lucenda enregistre Bouncin’ qui est, par la suite, devenu le premier titre de son premier album Mon Agenda. L’attitude et le professionnalisme de Lucenda, malgré son jeune âge, impressionnent tant que la boîte DownShow Productions, alors à la recherche de nouveaux talents, envisage sérieusement l’option de faire d’elle l’artiste primée de la compagnie.De ce premier album, deux vidéoclips L’Alarme et Elle et toi ont tout simplement emballé l’auditoire cible et ont fortement fait gonfler le nombre de ses fans. Ses prestations scéniques, aussi, ont beaucoup contribué à faire augmenter sa popularité. Il faut dire que les performances de Lucenda sont, sans question, inimitables. Consciente que, la route qui y mène est plus longue, mais que le succès sans honnêteté est trop futile et n’en vaut pas la peine, Lucenda tient à conserver son intégrité en montrant qui elle est véritablement, persuadée que c’est ce le public demande.Aussi Lucenda croit que les jeunes manquent parfois de modèles desquels ils pourraient tirer conseil à travers les chansons, ainsi, malgré la vague de « sur-violence ...
