Our Take

John Cale's "Helen of Troy" is a delightful rollercoaster of an album that'll have you reaching for your dancing shoes while simultaneously pondering the deeper mysteries of life. Cale's unique blend of punk rock, new wave, and avant-garde influences creates a sound that is both infectious and thought-provoking. The album kicks off with the groovy "My Maria", a track that sets the tone for the rest of the record with its catchy hooks and infectious energy. From there, Cale takes us on a journey through songs like the hauntingly beautiful "China Sea" and the frenetic "Coral Moon", showcasing his incredible range as a musician. But it's on tracks like the brilliant "Pablo Picasso" and the epic "Leaving It Up To You" where Cale truly shines, with his raw vocals and searing guitar work cutting through the mix like a hot knife through butter. Each track is a masterpiece in its own right, showcasing Cale's unparalleled talent as a songwriter and musician. Overall, "Helen of Troy" is a must-listen for fans of experimental rock music, with its bold sonic palette and boundary-pushing songwriting. John Cale may not be a household name like some of his contemporaries, but with albums like this, he's well on his way to earning a spot in the pantheon of musical legends. Trust us, you won't want to miss out on this one.
