"DDT" - "Missing"

The last thing I like, it would compare with the previous album, topics to discuss patriotism in the works of Yuri Shevchuk or dismantle the subject of death "old" Russian rock. Want to carefully pereslushivat music. And do unpleasant for the young generation of rockers conclusions. The main conclusion from the new album "DDT" - Shevchuk has something to say. Want a lot of thoughts, images and paradoxes that throw the leaders of the "DDT", believes in the world, because he, that the world needs to know. "I - the poet of the day, setting too many do not like it when one's fate, to insult me, I'll kill you." If you have a habit of listening to the new album of Russian rock, you can not see, are the glaring difference between the new generation of office manager, who took the guitar, nothing to say, and did not want anything serious to say, and a phenomenon called "Yuri Shevchuk." Offensive to the younger generation of progressive difference, we must admit. Now claims that "our radio groups" that are left in accordance with the traditional understanding of Russian rock as intellectual expression. And talk about a purely musical component. The record was limited and Master in Kiev, and this fact can be clearly heard. Ukrainian rock bands have long been a standard of quality rock sound in our steppes. "Okean Elzy" and "Tanok on independence of the Congo" pleasant quality soundtracks for years. The sound on the album is filled with trendy electronic samples, live female choruses and clever sound. It is not necessary, "DDT" hateful old fashioned archaic rock band that is something out there guitars and a man in a T-shirt hack croaks emotional words to look into the microphone. Sound is excellent, and the most popular today, Franz Ferdinand was a lot of interesting techniques in sound design can be found in "Missing." To be honest, this is now the best and happy. More recently, it was archaic today's sound was the main complaint against the "old" rock bands. Some empty "Tonight" was played on the orders of our modern rock elders. First, the cycle of fame Butusov then Grebenshikov, and then they would go. As befits Stadionnaya group Shevchuk wrote almost all the songs, so that they could sing with a guitar. Anyone see this Russian custom of "drinking vodka and eating dried fish on a newspaper", as the President of Latvia on our veterans, the elderly expressed. And I think this is a special local tradition. What not to throw off its pedestal in rEvolyutsionnom orgasm. "Um, I have to keep the roots", as once remembered the same Boris Grebenshikov, and then a little rusty. Shevchuk remembers his roots. Timing looks quite unusual songs. Only one (!) Song on the album fits into a standard trehminutku. The rest lasted 6-7 minutes and the software "Russian rock" - and in the 11 minutes. On it there is a special mention. It "Russian rock buried, buried ..." begins with a Russian choir zapeva in the background of almost guttural roar Shevchuk. Then march rhythm and keyboards chorus reminds pinkfloydovskuyu "The Wall". And picturesque description of how the funeral Russian rock. The irony is quite fierce. Removing the same irony, called Shevchuk undertaker rock Pharisees. The next morning in the coffin, of course, is no. However, an analogy with rock Jesus Shevchuk immediately breaks. "Greetings from the dead" - he draws a mocking tone. Shevchuk and is very lively. And he can scream from the dead. Heard. To check did not seem too saccharine, one could show up to a certain amount of leeway in the drama of the album, sometimes it's a lack of melody ... But really, what is minor compared to the fact that the group has to say. Vadim Ponomarev, NEWSmusic.ru CD Land Records, was released in April 2005.
