5 out of 5 stars Our little Recover is all growed up now........2003-11-12

I just got a copy of Ceci... for my birthday. I've been a big Recover fan since I heard "Elimination" on Road Fools 9 a year or so ago and went out and bought myself a copy of Rodeo & Picasso. I realize I'm pretty late getting this one, but I'm way, way happy with it. It has all the things I grew to love about Recover, in tightly measured doses... with texture, harmony, and subtlety thrown in, gratis. I've never seen them live, missed my most recent chance--and will not let that happen again.

4 out of 5 stars songwriting progression.......2003-03-29

I saw Recover live and they floored me.... this EP unfortunately lacks the punch or visceral intensity of their live show, and is more or less a total departure from Rodeo and Picasso. Still, these guys can write a good song, and all 5 of these will end up stuck in your head. "My Only Cure" and "Push Push" are upbeat, infectious rock with a touch of 'emo'. If you get a chance to see them, go.

4 out of 5 stars Push Push.......2002-09-26

I have been listening to Recover since they were selling their 4-track demo CDs for $2 at the Student Union at Univ. of TX. They have been a great band for a long time, and this CD continues in that trend. By taking a little bit of edge off their sound, it allows the music to come through a lot better, but still give a nice, hard sound. I say that it is at least as good as the 'Rodeo and Picasso' LP; same great guitar riffs, vocals, bass beats, and great drums. This is good music, for good people; just like a restaurant, but like... you know, music.

By the way, for all you artistically and classically devoid people, "ceci n'est pas recover" (translated to 'this is not recover') is a joking reference to a painting by Rene Magritte, painted in 1928, called "ceci n'est pas une pipe" (translated to 'this is not a pipe'). The painting of a pipe was titled as such because the image was the picture of a pipe, not the real thing. Recover's selection of this as their title was a joke, not an emo-esque statement. Anyway, its a good EP.

5 out of 5 stars Wow, some people are really stupid........2002-09-15

Let's set a few things straight:
1)The title is FRENCH, not Spanish.
2)It's 'ok' for something not to be 'hardcore' or 'screamo'
3)It's also 'ok' to try something 'different'*GASP!*
4)Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but some people are morons and should never procreate *looks in the direction of the past 2 reviewers*
With that said, we can now continue with the actual review. I have not a bad thing to say about this cd. The songs are catchier than the plague. Each one of them is amazing in one way or another. Like previous Recover songs, most of them are laced with style changes, little solos, dissonant guitars, and amazing vocals. Contrary to other views on this page, the "screams" are more tasteful and meld better with the style of the songs. Additional vocals and a piano interlude or two by the one and only Rory Allen Phillips (of impossibles/slowreader/imbroco/the20goto10 and a thousand other bands-fame) do nothing but sweeten the deal on this 13 minute eargasm. Just because it's not the last recover cd doesn't mean it's bad. Maybe this cd was titled "This is Not Recover" for a reason.....think about it a little =) Rockin' goodness at its best.

5 out of 5 stars c'est chouette! c'est bon! and whatnot.......2003-01-01

hey hey hey! it's wacky, it's absurd, it's cool! that's right kids, it's FRENCH RAP and it completely rules. this is a record to listen to when you're kind of "out of it." ahem. goes along with the surrealist theme (the title is a reference to surrealist painter Magritte) in that they talk so FAST in french it gets ... to levels that no English speaking rapper could ever hope to attain. Rap/ Hiphop is all about the language spoken and the rhyming of lyrics.. well, this is a whole new language and an entirely new realm of Hiphop. I wish more of the French did this sort of a thing this is perfect

5 out of 5 stars French Hip Hop have flavor!.......2002-04-22

TTC released only two 12" on Big Dada, and people were looking forward to listening a full-length. And nobody is dissapointed. The super-hit "subway" is on it, there's great collaboration with DoseOne (from cLOUDDEAD) and Dj Vadim himself. The beats are amazing and very original - far from what has been done in Europe since MC Solaar -, and the lyrics are just funny, absurd but often interesting, you just have to speak french so you can enjoy them! A great record.

    Product Description

    This is the debut album from The B Sexuals. These 12 songs aptly display the range of an acoustic two-piece band competing in a rock-heavy music scene. Often compared to Talking Heads and Elvis, The B Sexuals bang out wonderful rythms and melodies in the most stripped down of fashions.
