Sacrilege - Within the Prophecy
87

A riff monster. Repetitive and relentless mid tempo thrash/stench/crust, whatever you call it. Same formula than the first LP, but more metal. It’s all so good. I mean, I always ask for more. No virtuosity displayed here (by metal standards), but what they do is quite imaginative, even though it sounds basic and simple at first.

Grateful Dead - Terrapin Station
NR

Starts really good with Estimated Prophet which sounds like something coming up straight from Dark Side of the Moon. Also ends well with Terrapin part 1, a long song with complex structure and some latin and classical influences. But the stuff in between is not as good. That record doesn't sound like your usual GD record. Not much of that jam or folk feel, more proggy and even a funky version of Dancing in the Street (which does not belong here, I think).

Fair Warning - You Are The Scene!
77

Thick guy hardcore. Basic, raw, simple, powerful. Lyrics about getting your revenge from assholes or something like that.

Oi Boys - Oi Boys
87

Dépressif et remuant. Oi dans l’attitude et l’approche plus que dans le son. Boite à rythme, synthés, guitares post punk. Voix et paroles qui hantent.

Grateful Dead - American Beauty
76

Folk rock plutôt accessible et plaisant avec un peu de country et de blues (Trucking). Bon disque d’introduction aux Grateful Dead je suppose, mais y a des pièces que j’aime nettement plus que d’autres là-desssus.
