ATOMS FOR PEACE
"AMOK"
XL
2013
No se puede negar que Thom Yorke y Nigel Godrich son un dúo musical fantástico. Ellos han demostrado esta vez y anteriormente a través de Radiohead e incluso en el álbum en solitario de Yorke, The Eraser que son un complemento perfecto. En teoría, Atoms For Peace es un concepto nuevo y emocionante para la banda. Yorke y Godrich se unen con Flea de los Red Hot Chili Peppers, Joey Waranker de REM y Mauro Refosco, quien recientemente trabajó con RHCP para formar un supergrupo de rock electrónico. Por
desgracia, la abrumadora cantidad de talento dentro de la banda no se
utiliza correctamente a mi gusto, la causa del álbum debut de Atoms For Peace es que el
sonido es demasiado predecible en todos los sentidos.Atoms For Peace es claramente una idea de Yorke y Godrich, y Amok suena como
el siguiente paso lógico para hacer del dúo en viaje musical. Amok fácilmente podría haber sido puesto en libertad bajo el nombre de Yorke y ser lanzado como la continuación de The Eraser. Pero la decisión de no hacerlo en su dia vino con consecuencias importantes.
A primera vista, uno de los aspectos más interesantes de Atoms For Peace es la participación de Flea. Pero
Flea deberia haber tenido mucho más que ofrecer en Atoms For Peace, y su falta de
utilidad en Amok es decepcionante por no decir algo menor. Por desgracia, se ve obligado a contenerse, tocando con buen gusto, pero con poca naturalidad. Flea no tiene espacio en este disco para flexionar sus músculos en creatividad
musical, por lo que realmente baja la calidad del álbum coniderablemente.
"Before
Your Very Eyes" es un tema que abre el disco de manera fuerte, con Yorke celebrando la canción de manera conjunta, guiando al oyente a un viaje de rock electrónico. La
canción comienza orgánicamente pero con el tiempo se convierte en
una pieza digitalizada que avanza a través de los diferentes estados de
ánimo musicales.
"Ingenue" es otro hit importante del álbum. La canción está llena de capas que se suman a una fuerte melodía vocal de Yorke. La química musical natural entre Yorke y Godrich realmente brilla aquí. Estos dos son maestros de la música electrónica y se hace muy evidente en "Ingenue".A
pesar de que Flea no está realmente destacado en Amok, su
ritmo bajo juega un papel clave en "Judge, Jury and Executioner", y termina siendo una de las canciones más memorables del álbum. Yorke afloja en esta canción un poco, dejándo un poco de blues en su entrega. "Judge Jury and Executioner" llega en un momento durante el disco necesita una ligera sacudida de energía para seguir
adelante, y por fortuna, esta canción ofrece ese pequeño fragmento de
vida que mantiene el álbum los pies en la tierra.
En general, Amok es una experiencia bastante buena, pero debería haber sido un álbum de Thom Yorke en solitario. Hay demasiados músicos que pasan a segundo plano con el fin de permitir que Amok tengo una propia visión. Esperemos
que Atoms For Peace no decida poner más material, o por el contrario la banda se
replantee su ejecución con el fin de hacer mejor el uso del talento de sus miembros. Lo que podría haber sido una obra maestra, se a quedado en obra inconclusa.
There is no denying that Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich are a fantastic musical duo. They
have proven this time and previously through Radiohead and even Yorke
solo album, The Eraser that are a perfect complement. In theory, Atoms For Peace is an exciting new concept for the band. Yorke
and Godrich bind with Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, REM Waranker
Joey and Mauro Refosco, who recently worked with RHCP to form a
supergroup of electronic rock. Unfortunately,
the overwhelming amount of talent within the band not used properly to
my taste, the debut album due Atoms For Peace is that the sound is too
predictable in every way.Atoms
For Peace is clearly an idea of Yorke and Godrich, and Amok sounds
like the next logical step for the duo in musical journey. Amok could easily have been released under the name of Yorke and be released as a continuation of The Eraser. But the decision not to do on your day came with important consequences.
At first glance, one of the most interesting aspects of Atoms For Peace is Flea participation. But Flea should have had much more to offer in Atoms For Peace, and its lack of utility in Amok is disappointing to say the less. Unfortunately, he is forced to hold back, playing with taste, but with little ease. Flea has no place in this record to flex their creative muscles in music, so it really low quality coniderablemente album."Before Your Very Eyes" is a song that opens the album with strength, with Yorke's song celebrating together, guiding the listener on a journey of electronic rock. The song starts organically but eventually becomes a digitized piece progresses through different musical moods.
"Ingenue" is another major milestone in the album. The song is full of layers that add up to a strong vocal melody Yorke. The natural musical chemistry between Yorke and Godrich really shines here. These two are masters of electronic music and is very evident in "Ingenue".Though Flea is not really high on Amok, its low rate plays a key role in "Judge, Jury and Executioner", and ends up being one of the most memorable songs of the album. Yorke loose on this one a bit, leaving some blues in his delivery. "Judge Jury and Executioner" comes at a time during the disk needs a slight jolt of energy to keep going, and fortunately, this one offers that little piece of life that keeps the album grounded.Overall, Amok is a pretty good experience, but should have been an album of Thom Yorke solo. There are many musicians who take second place to allow Amok I have an own vision. Hopefully Atoms For Peace decided not to put more material, or else the band to reconsider its implementation in order to make best use of the talents of its members. What could have been a masterpiece, is at left in unfinished.
