Notes from All Music Guide:
The Completion Backward Principle was the first release on EMI/Capitol by San Francisco-based the Tubes. It found the outrageous septet working with producer David Foster, who gives the record a high-gloss sheen. It's a pairing that, while possibly surprising to fans of the band's earlier releases, actually works quite nicely. The ballads (the Top 40 hit "Don't Want to Wait Anymore" and the Toto-esque "Amnesia") don't suit the band, but most everything else does. There's a pair of catchy new wavish rockers in "Talk to Ya Later" and "Think About Me," the wacky "Sushi Girl," and the R&B-flavored "A Matter of Pride." The Completion Backward Principle rightfully earned the Tubes new fans and set the table for their commercial breakthrough, Outside/Inside, two years later. — Tom Demalon

Tchau!

**BEST OF SET!!


Artist: David Bowie
Album Title: Heroes
Date of Release: 1977
Genre: Rock

Notes from All Music Guide:
Repeating the formula of Low's half-vocal/half-instrumental structure, Heroes develops and strengthens the sonic innovations Bowie and Eno explored on their first collaboration. The vocal songs are fuller, boasting harder rhythms and deeper layers of sound. Much of the harder-edged sound of Heroes is due to Robert Fripp's guitar, which provides a muscular foundation for the electronics, especially on the relatively conventional rock songs. Similarly, the instrumentals on Heroes are more detailed, this time showing a more explicit debt to German synth-pop and European experimental rock & roll. Essentially, the difference between Low and Heroes lies in the details, but the record is equally challenging and groundbreaking. — Stephen Thomas

Tchau!

**BEST OF SET!!


Artist: Nirvana
Album Title: Nevermind
Date of Release: Sep 24, 1991 (release)
Genre: Rock

The album cover for your viewing pleasure courtesy of CrumbCat's Amazing Album Cover Finder:



Notes from All Music Guide:
Nevermind was never meant to change the world, but you can never predict when the zeitgeist will hit, and Nirvana's second album turned out to be the place where alternative rock crashed into the mainstream. This wasn't entirely an accident, either, since Nirvana did sign with a major label, and they did release a record with a shiny surface, no matter how humongous the guitars sounded. And, yes, Nevermind is probably a little shinier than it should be, positively glistening with echo and fuzz-box distortion, especially when compared with the black-and-white murk of Bleach. This doesn't discount the record, since it's not only much harder than any mainstream rock of 1991, its character isn't on the surface, it's in the exhilaratingly raw music and haunting songs. Kurt Cobain's personal problems and subsequent suicide naturally deepens the dark undercurrents, but no matter how much anguish there is on Nevermind, it's bracing because he exorcises those demons through his evocative wordplay and mangled screams — and because the band has a tremendous, unbridled power that transcends the pain, turning into pure catharsis. And, that's as key to the record's success as Cobain's songwriting, since Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl help turn this into music that is gripping, powerful, and even fun (and, really, there's no other way to characterize "Territorial Pissings" or the surging "Breed"). In retrospect, Nevermind may seem a little too unassuming for its mythic status — it's simply a great modern punk record — but even though it may no longer seem life-changing, it is certainly life-affirming, which may just be better. — Stephen Thomas Erlewine

And then you reply with that 1991 post?

Well, I&#39;m glad you are enjoying this topic - albeit selectively.

Tchau&#33;

[Skillian]

The topic&#39;s not bad, could be quite interesting (despite the lack of replies). I just hope it doesn&#39;t turn into another thread where 3/4 of the replies are from the same person - makes it kinda pointless. That&#39;s why I added a post, what&#39;s wrong with that?

Nothing at all - keep em&#39; coming&#33; I agree, we need more replies here.
