Jun 9, 201523 is the seventh album of the american trio Blonde Redhead. It has great tracks, nice guitars and a soft singing by Kazu Makino. I suggest the tracks 23, Dr. Strangeluv (a guitar-driven masterpiece) and My Impure Air.

BeauP.Mar 5, 2008In a year that saw Radiohead and Arcade Fire deliver hauntingly beautiful works, Blonde Redhead released an arguably more stunning album in 2007. 23's textures and arking melodies imbue the album with a mystery that just begs to be listened to over and over again. The most lovely moment is my favorite song of 2007 "Spring By Summer Fall".

PatrickSJul 13, 2007It's everything I like in an album. You have songs that you instantly love and others you love after the 10th hearing. Everything is in the details of the production.

AntJun 10, 2007one of the best albums of the year. this is a step in a different direction for the band and I like it! It's almost a polar opposite of misery, which itself is a wonderful record. This band has really impressed me.

caseyMay 17, 2007Between 8.2 and 8.6 seems about right. Man Spin Magazine has completely gone corporate. It's growing on me. I'm sure this will top many critics year end lists. I love the cover of the cd.

luisvApr 29, 2007Un poco mas accesible que su anterior disco; Empieza bien y cuando llegamos a "Silently" llegamos al climax del disco y tambien llegamos a la mitad del disco, de ahí en adelante el disco empobrece...

dinchApr 28, 2007Light, fluffy and disappointingly poppy after "Misery"

JonnySApr 28, 2007This is an amazing album that gets better with each listen. Don't expect "Misery Is A Butterfly 2", this is a whole different thing.

RicardoGApr 27, 2007What an excellent record! It is definitely in my top five of the year so far. Wonderfully lush and imaginative. A purrfect summer record.

brittacApr 15, 2007a very very decent album.. i loved misery is a butterfly because it gave me a sort of whimsical feeling, but this album definitely marks a new achievement for blonde redhead.. the album flows perfectly, and it has the perfect balance of melancholy and feel-good tunes.. it propels forward without a single hitch.. definitely look into this one=]

CarlosMApr 15, 2007An excellent record. Not as good as "Misery is a Butterfly", but really beautiful in tis own terms. It shows a band that is on a whole different level and makes music isntantbly recognizable in the middle of so many annonimous bands that sound the same and flood Myspace. A record worth buying in times of massive downloading.
