Give me an album and I will review it
That's right. Give me an album. Any album. Any genre and I will review it impartially. Basically it's a lazy way for me to hear some new music and maybe be surprised at what's on offer. You will have to check my RYM and make sure I don't have it or just LMK beforehand on here and I will yay or nay.

Reviewed: Polvo - Today's Active Lifestyles Genghis Tron - Board Up The House Tech N9ne - Killer Otis Redding - The Dock Of The Bay Ki i agapi pali tha kalei (Love will call again)-Diafana Krina.

For Swim:
Polvo - Today's Active Lifestyle (1993)  The problem with living in Britain, especially in the early 90's was a dearth of top quality British bands and a constant ass licking of our music press bowing down at the altar of Grunge. To the more mature of us, grunge was just another step up from hard assed 70's Rock with a slice of melancholia perched on the side. Luckily it seemed as though many bands in America knew this too and bands such as Big Black and Dinosaur Jr dispensed with power chords and trad. choruses, yet still kept the integrity and intensity of Rock music. A side effect(although this was not a negative) of this was an assimilation of ambience and emotion allied to a strictly non commercial edict. Bands like Polvo and earlier non mainstream bands such as Slint and Nomeansno were making music that did'nt fit in with the zeitgeist at the time, yet paradoxically have more longevity because of it. TAC touches upon many musical themes: Indie, shoegaze, ambience, alternative and yet it is'nt anyone of those. It was a sound sadly adrift and unheard. Yet it sounds more succinct today than many albums of it's era that peddled a supposedly 'alternative rock' sound. Track composition and linear quality are not the primary concerns. A ideal and a tangible sense of time and place give this album a lot more time and appreciation that it probably won't get. An album that I am very glad to have heard and thank places such as MB that give me the chance. 8/10

Nice review. I don't think I've ever looked at it from that perspective and I'm glad you liked it.
