Broken Bells - Broken Bells (2010)

O projeto "Broken Bells" do produtor e multiinstrumentista conhecido como "Danger Mouse" (gnals barkley e produção de discos do gorillaz) em parceria com o guitarrista/vocalista e também produtor James Mercer (The Shins) já vinha sendo acompanhando por diversos fãs, desde o lançamento (ou vazamento) do single "The High Road", criando muita espectativa entre os mesmos.
O álbum teve ampla aceitação na comunidade musical, já rotulado como um dos cds mais "bem produzidos" da atualidade e inclusve definido, no site "laboratoriopop", como sendo o filho (menos deprimido auehuaheaue) resultante da fusão do "Amnesiac" (Radiohead) com o "Demon Days" (Gorillaz).
A sonoridade do Broken Bells pode ser definida como: dançante, indie, objetiva, eletrônica e agradável. As músicas relembram diversas estéticas, mas sem sair do eixo pop com uma pequena influência psicodélica.
São muitos os pontos altos encotrados por mim, tais quais em "Vaporize" (energética, com teclados e batida bem marcada), "The Ghost Inside" (virada ritmica com ótima harmonia) e a já aclamada "The High Road" (pianos e backing vocals de primeira). Porém, encontro pontos baixos em "trap doors" e "citizen" (não mostram nada de diferente/impressionante), que aparecem em sequencia no album.

Lista das Músicas:

1. "The High Road" – 3:54
2. "Vaporize" – 3:32
3. "Your Head Is on Fire" – 3:06
4. "The Ghost Inside" – 3:19
5. "Sailing to Nowhere" – 3:46
6. "Trap Doors" – 3:19
7. "Citizen" – 4:29
8. "October" – 3:37
9."Mongrel Heart" – 4:26
10. "The Mall and Misery" – 4:06
