Almost too pretty

That gone are the days where you could not talk without Blonde Redhead compare fatally Sonic Youth, who seemed their main source of inspiration. What a long way since, until this delicate album, graceful melodies and sumptuous string arrangements. An instant classic, the compositions unfolding majestically, not alternately carried the voices of Kazu (sometimes a bit annoying at the breaking point) and Amedeo.

Over the plays, however, I come to think that this record is finally too pretty, and lack of bumps, this acidity that characterized earlier Blonde Redhead. Some great songs accommodate themselves perfectly to these trappings (`Falling Man ',' Pink Love 'duet) or find a bit of the edge of the past (' Equus'), but some are definitely too decorative and suffer from a lack voltage.

So beautiful drive, remarkable, ambitious, dicey, but in my opinion not the best of the group despite some criticism unanimously.
