* * * porcupine tree - fear of a blank planet

porcupine_treeyyyuuupiii - finally the fans (for sure you can include to this group uncle heniek and daddy) of steven wilson and his team, have occasion to listen to their newest - 9th studio album. (I am already after and now I am trying to make a pooh - yyyyyyhhh).
2 decades of band existence didn't bring the surprising changes -we listen the same characteristic rhythm and vocal. but is something there, something what positively surprising me. of course I don’t know nothing about the music and this is the reason why I will risk the statement: that music style of the band, except the rock, psychedelic and ambient, become rich about the …..METAL….tone. (uncle marian will be in heaven)
on the beginning of the album we have wonderful foretaste of that (fear of a blank planet, anesthetize).
by the way anesthetize is a pearl on this album. 18 minutes song some moments, simply petrify me. (I became whole red and I see the asking faces: child! what happen?)
this play has some really strong parts (this tone is sound for me like a trash metal) and after these strong parts it’s a time for a melodic refrain which break away from whole this struggle. steve is singing:
"only apathy from the pills in me it's all in me, all in you electricity it's all in me, all in you only mtv and cod philosophy"
album is wonderfully soaked through the guitar’s arrangement  (on album appeared guests like alex lifeon from rush, robert fripp from king crimson) and floating drums (you can listen these small plates – I love to lick them up)
this is very interesting disk because is raising the problems of our reality. it’s like a wander in the recesses of a realism, it’s like a search for everything except the inside's silence.
generally this album is a depressing social commentary (unfortunately sex, drugs, mtv, … will never give us satisfaction)
if someone don’t like this kind of climate – will be better for him/ her to not touch it.
whole disk count only 6 songs (all of them are over 5 minutes long) and this is very big minus of album for me.

* * * * arcade fire - neon bible

Neon Biblefew weeks ago, Dad beguiled me with the newest  - the second in turn - studio album of arcade fire band.
after first listening, suddenly my colic stopped.
as a matter of fact is a difficult about wick track on this album - there are only good and very good.
when I am wandering from track to track, in front of my eyes appearing (although still see in black and white colours) the line of very interesting bands, from which group were draw small or bigger inspirations – or maybe I am wrong because I still don’t know nothing about the music.
I can occupy tit and I can do the poo almost perfectly but it has nothing to do with music (of course writing about it).
I hear on this album: the cure (keep the car running), nick cave & the bad seeds (ocean of noise) or even roy orbison (antichrist television blues).
the composition on the disk is very diversified by interesting instruments like pipe organ, hurdy gurdy, military choir and a full hungarian orchestra.
apart from melodic side absorbing appear texts, almost in whole inspired by death of the relatives. album is characterized by religion hypocrisy - (Dad, what is this hypocrisy? Is it some oriental fruit? And what is this oriental word mean?) – (antichrist television blues)
generally album is a self-conscious experiment of creating from the rock something less limited.
number 1 in canada and ireland, q magazine declare this album – the album of the year but it is still to earlier.
in the end we have beginning of the year and I have just 3 weeks.

listen:
