Great album. Especially: 23, Dress, Top Ranking, and Heroine

Un 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...

Spring and By Summer Fall.... thats all i gotta say.

Brilliant. I love this band.

this album really suprised me!!! Incredibly good!!!

alan moulder is god.

A much more accessible listen than "Misery is a Butterfly", but with that comes a less intense, less original musical experience. "23" is my favorite record of '07 so far (it's only April). It sometimes sounds reminiscent of LUSH (also 4AD, no?), only a bad thing when compared to "Misery". But the naysayers couldn't hack the emotively damaged vocals on "Misery". Wiith respect to this, they'll be better off with "23".… Expand

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

one 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.

I love it

God, I have no words. 23 is Blonde Redhead at their best form. Perfect album.

All songs are enveloped in a mystery ambient. Great LP

Heard them at Interpol and liked what i heard so got the latest album (23) get this album if you like st etienne or radiohead you'll love this..very addictive. Now to check out their back catalogue.

Beautiful and amazing. One of the year's best.

Absolutely amazing! Astonishing!

BR virgin... being a long 4AD fan (old school to be precise), this release reminds me of the time when this label pushed the boundaries for excelent music. A top notch release.

Beautiful.

beautiful record

Very good album!

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

Light, fluffy and disappointingly poppy after "Misery"

Between 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.

Blonde Redhead's _23_ seems to be an extension of what they started with _Misery is a Butterfly_ . However, _23_ is tighter, more controlled & more concise than that meandering, though, beautiful album. The influences are evident: Cocteau Twins, Lush, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth; but Blonde Redhead has their own distinct voice as well. Definitely a dream pop record of the highest caliber and one of the best albums this year. "Heroine," "23," "Publisher," "Spring and by Summer Fall" are standouts.… Expand

Shifting their focus from Sonic Youth'esque distortion rock to more of a shoegaze feel, Blonde Redhead create their best album to date. "23" and "SW" are key tracks, on this fantastic new LP. It starts of big, and doesn't disappoint through out the album's run time. Don't shrug it off people it's "more accessible", BR are just as offbeat as always, they just learned to control their sound a lot more, and it's beautiful.… Expand

Definitely in my top 3 albums of the year. I think I like 23 better than Misery.

yeah also in my top 3 of the year so far - actually only superceded by Rosebuds' latest.

It'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.

A-bleedin-mazing!!

In 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".

8-9.. undecided. This album is gorgeous. Definetly lacks something they previously had, but they make up for it with soft blurs of feeling behind sounds of tranquility and catchy lyrics. 'Top Ranking' is so adorable, while 'The Dress' is just ambience intoxicated. Very good effort, a nice step forward for my favourite American indie band with a Japanese lead vocalist (haha, not many out there,...).… Expand

Beautiful, such a soft melody. And her voice fits perfectly.

Spin is on crack. Pitchfork was right on.

going to a br show to impress a date? fine. here's hoping you get laid, but fair warning, get high 1st & remember to bring ear plugs. smile empathetically as she looks over her shoulder back at you. rub her back too. seriously, what other attraction's in it for y chromosomers? kunt rock.

I mean...like...it's really good.

not as much an artistic statement, as a career statement. one of the most cohesive, enjoyable and beautiful listens you'll hear this year.

a 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=]

will definetly be in my top 5 of the year!!
