Greatest Hits: Sound & Vision - Blondie]]> http://youthculturedepot.blogoshop.com/p/Greatest-Hits-Sound-Vision-Blondie/6294636 http://youthculturedepot.blogoshop.com/p/Elephant/4169024 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 01:12:23 GMT It's a glorious thing to hear. It will be one of the best things you hear all year.

Elephant]]> http://youthculturedepot.blogoshop.com/p/Elephant/4169024 http://youthculturedepot.blogoshop.com/p/White-Blood-Cells/4274877 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 01:11:46 GMT Anyone can grab something off a thrift store rack and call it fashion, but it takes a lot of chopping and channeling to create genuine style. Detroit's White Stripes have style for miles and miles -- and not just in their candy-cane threads. The boy-girl duo, often lumped together with skronk-blues minimalists like {|Jon Spencer|}, are too slippery to fit into that pigeonhole. Yes, there's a bit of fuzzed-out Zeppelin (and a lot of {|Willie McTell|}) in the shiver-inducing "Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground," but deep indigo is only one of the colors in Jack and Meg White's palette. The pouty garage-stomp "Fell in Love with a Girl" tracks glam footprints everywhere it frugs, while the voice-and-drum "Little Room" -- one of the most succinct, self-aware descriptions of an artistic career arc you'll ever hear -- explodes in blood-red tones. The duo's appeal is more than just ear-deep, though. Singer/guitarist Jack White projects -- through both his mottled yelp and his guileless lyrics -- a yearning vulnerability that's eerily reminiscent of {|Kurt Cobain|}. You can hear it plainly in the gentle elementary-school amble of "We're Going to Be Friends," but also in the subtly affecting loss-of-innocence rave "I'm Finding It Harder to Be a Gentleman." And by the time he's finished muttering, moaning, and whispering through the despondent "The Union Forever," you'll not only get the message he's sending, you'll feel it so deeply that you'll want to deliver it by hand.

White Blood Cells]]> http://youthculturedepot.blogoshop.com/p/White-Blood-Cells/4274877 http://youthculturedepot.blogoshop.com/p/De-Stijl/4934727 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 01:10:54 GMT De Stijl, the Dutch word for the style, is the sophomore CD from the Southwest Detroit brother and sister duo THE WHITE STRIPES. This album is based more on piano, open-A tuning and primal drum beats. It is also augmented by electric violin, acoustic bass and presents the listener with more melodic pieces. 13 tracks.

New Moon - Elliott Smith]]> http://youthculturedepot.blogoshop.com/p/New-Moon-Elliott-Smith/6459937 http://youthculturedepot.blogoshop.com/p/From-a-Basement-on-the-Hill-Elliott-Smith/6410372 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 01:09:18 GMT Turning mental breakdown into its own form of frazzled beauty, the album is, ironically, one of the best he ever made. (A-)

From a Basement on the Hill - Elliott Smith]]> http://youthculturedepot.blogoshop.com/p/From-a-Basement-on-the-Hill-Elliott-Smith/6410372 http://youthculturedepot.blogoshop.com/p/Either-Or/4031082 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 01:09:17 GMT Blessed with the voice of a wispy angel, Elliott Smith creates sad little pop songs, which, like the work of Nick Drake (to whom he's been compared) threaten to disappear into the night air. Several of the tracks here were featured in Gus Van Zant's movie Good Will Hunting, and they're among the album's best (though "Miss Misery," nominated for an Academy Award is only available on the soundtrack album). "Angeles" and "Say Yes" are bittersweet laments that feature Smith's idiosyncratic guitar picking, which is well served by the album's decidedly low-fi production. --Rob O'Connor

Either/Or]]> http://youthculturedepot.blogoshop.com/p/Either-Or/4031082 http://youthculturedepot.blogoshop.com/p/XO/4011032 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 01:09:16 GMT Elliott Smith's fourth solo album and major-label debut, XO, brings narrative detail and a wide range of emotion to an indie meld of '60s-style rock and folk-pop. Whether in the broken stateliness of "Waltz #2 (XO)," the Sgt. Pepper tribute of "Baby Britain," or the explosions of "Amity" and "Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands," Smith's melodic and arrangement senses give his vulnerable vocals and brilliant wordcraft the maximum effectiveness. XO is a watershed in singer/songwriter rock. --Rickey Wright

XO]]> http://youthculturedepot.blogoshop.com/p/XO/4011032 http://youthculturedepot.blogoshop.com/p/Roman-Candle/3612492 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 01:09:15 GMT A member of the band Heatmiser, Elliot Smith recorded home demos on any equipment he could get his hands on. His first "solo" album is a cheap four-track home recording that hints at the melodic possibilities Smith would explore in greater detail on subsequent releases. The title track is remarkable but with four songs referred to in sequential order as "No Name #1," "No Name #2," etc. ... the inspiration isn't always fully firing. Blessed with a quiet angelic voice and a lyrical mind that easily transforms the squalid details of everyday life into something worth hearing about twice, Smith stood on the verge of getting it on. With his next, self-titled release, he did.--Rob O'Connor
