ARCADE FIRE
"REFLEKTOR"
Merge
2013
Ya esta bien de vendernos grandes albumes en todos los grandes grupos, me da ASCO y lo digo en letras mayúsculas que la obligación contractual hoy en día reine sobre el arte, porque señores de la industria todavía queda gente que ama la música en su pureza y plenitud, todavía hay gente que para ella es su vida, y aunque somos pocos, todavía quedamos algunos que no tenemos vendas en los ojos y de vez en cuando echamos un grito al cielo. No voy hablar de la moralidad de las compañias discograficas, pero esta vez estamos delante de un producto sin fundamento y sin corazón, y que merece ser enviado directamente a la parte inferior de la bandeja de gangas a 1€ de cualquier centro comercial al lado de discos Camela e Isabel Pantoja. Para poner las cosas en contexto: el primer álbum de su carrera musical me pareció decente, y el Neon Bible una genialidad de su tiempo y aunque no eran perfectos, se agradecía cualquier tramo de imaginación que nos ofrecían, al menos no podían ser criticados por su falta de esfuerzo, un inicio de dos albumes que enviaban a la banda al estrellato, en otras palabras, hasta entonces la banda podía haber sido tratada por sus fans con el respeto que se merecían, y en ese sentido lograron realizar una carrera admirablemente. Pero la manera contrastante y displicente en que Reflektor se nos presenta es simplemente inverosímil, trece canciones que están contenidas en el presente mas aburrido, monoto, soso y faltado de espíritu, el mismo caso que el último disco de Glasvegas que podríamos decir que es todavía peor, lo siento pero no puedo enfatizar lo suficiente con bandas así, que venden solamente por llenan estadios. Un delito menos perdonable es la gran cantidad de relleno que hay durante todo el disco.
Al final, la cuestión principal que rodea este lanzamiento podría ser "¿por qué, después The Suburbs vuelven hacer otro disco igual de patético y lamentable? sin cambiar nada, es que de repente ya les es suficiente lo que hacen ahora? " Es una buena pregunta para hacer, y tal vez la respuesta esté en los fans, yo como no lo soy no sabría responder, pero el conformismo a la mediocridad nunca han sido buenos compañeros de viaje. Los aficionados más jóvenes a la música comercial seguramente podrán encontrar el recurso del disco como otra genialidad mas que nada porque están sumidos por la homología actual de la música en la que estamos sometidos hoy en día sin darnos cuenta, escucha esto porque son cabeza de cartel, escucha lo otro porque así se es mas moderno, escucha lo de mas allá porque lo escuchan los hipster barbudos, etc... Sin embargo, para alguien que lleva alrededor de 20 años escuchando de todo, hay cosas en la música que no son suficientes, se necesita sentir lo que se escucha, se necesita emocionar al oyente, la música es un ser vivo que nos debe invadir y hacer remover las tripas y no dejarnos catatónicos como en este caso. Es seguro decir que no hay absolutamente nada más que este álbum nos pueda ofrecer. Finalmente han llenado la cuota de seguir el mismo enfoque exacto una y otra vez, ya no es que no innoven, sino que siguen siendo igual de sobrevalorados, se han convertido en cáscaras de lo que eran en sus inicios, están caducados leche. Solo decir, que meto en el saco otra banda que no pienso volver a escuchar nunca más.
It
's okay to sell great albums in all major groups , ASCO me and I say in
capital letters that the contractual obligation prevails today about
art, because gentlemen industry is still people who love music in its
purity and fullness,
there are still people that she is his life , and though we are few,
yet we were certain that no blindfolds and occasionally we take a cry to
heaven . I'm
not talking about the morality of the record companies , but this time
we are in front of a product without foundation and without heart, and
deserves to be sent directly to the bottom of the bargain bin 1 € of any
shopping center next to Camela discs and Isabel Pantoja. To
put things in context : the first album of his musical career seemed
decent, and the Neon Bible 's genius of his time and while not perfect ,
was welcome any stretch of imagination that gave us at least could not
be criticized for their
lack of effort, initially two albums that sent the band into stardom,
in other words, until then the band could have been treated by their
fans with the respect they deserve , and in that sense a career
succeeded admirably . But
the cavalier way in which contrasting and Reflector us is simply
implausible , thirteen songs that are contained in this most boring ,
monotonous , dull and lacking such spirit , the same case as the last
album Glasvegas you might say that is still worse , sorry but I can not emphasize enough with bands well , only selling out stadiums . A crime less forgivable is the large amount of padding there throughout the disc.
In the end, the main issue surrounding this launch could be "why , then The Suburbs again make another record just pathetic and pitiful ? Without changing anything, is that suddenly suffice them and what they do now ? " Is a good question to ask , and maybe the answer is in the fans, as I am, I would not know how to respond, but conformity to mediocrity never been good traveling companions . Younger fans to commercial music can surely find the disk resource as another genius more than anything because they are consumed by the current homology music we are subjected today without realizing it, listen to this because they are headlining , listen to what other because that one is more modern , listen to because I hear beyond the bearded hipster , etc ... However, for someone who has about 20 years listening to everything, there are things in the music that is not enough , you need to feel what you hear , you need to excite the listener , music is a living thing that we should invade and to remove the guts and not be catatonic as in this case . It is safe to say that there is absolutely nothing but this album we can offer. Finally have filled the quota exactly the same approach over and over again , and it is not to innovate , but are still as overvalued , have become shells of what they were in the beginning, are expired milk. Just say, you get into the sack another band that will not go back to listen again.
