Continuing with the stylistic developments of Stranded, Country Life finds Roxy Music at the peak of their powers, alternating between majestic, unsettling art rock & glamorous, elegant pop/rock. At their best, Roxy combine these two extremes, like on the exhilarating opener " The Thrill of It All, but Country Life benefits considerably from the ebb & flow of the group's two extremes, since it showcases their deft instrumental execution & their textured, enthralling songwriting. &, in ma ...

An even slicker record than Manifesto, Flesh + Blood precariously balances between sophisticated soul-pop & radio-ready disco-pop. At its best, the album is effortlessly suave & charming -- " Over You" is one of their greatest singles, & " Oh Yeah" is nearly as persuasive -- although the reliance on reworked covers of " In the Midnight Hour" & " Eight Miles High" signals a lack of imagination. Still, there is a handful of undeniably strong & alluringly seductive moments. ~ Stephen Thomas E ...

On Roxy Music's debut, the tensions between Brian Eno & Bryan Ferry propelled their music to great, unexpected heights, & for most of the group's second album, For Your Pleasure, the band equals, if not surpasses, those expectations. However, there are a handful of moments where those tensions become unbearable, as when Eno wants to move toward texture & Ferry wants to stay in more conventional rock territory; the nine-minute " The Bogus Man" captures such creative tensions perfectly, & i ...

Returning to action after four years of solo projects, Roxy Music redefined its sound & agenda on Manifesto. More than ever, Roxy sounds like Bryan Ferry's backing b&, as the group strips away its art rock influences, edits out the instrumental interludes in favor of concise pop songs, & adds layers of stylish disco rhythms. Although the songwriting is distressingly inconsistent, there are a number of wonderful moments on the record, particularly in the sighing " Angel Eyes" & the heartbr ...

Falling halfway between musical primitivism & art rock ambition, Roxy Music's eponymous debut remains a startling redefinition of rock's boundaries. Simultaneously embracing kitschy glamour & avant-pop, Roxy Music shimmers with seductive style & pulsates with disturbing synthetic textures. Although no musician demonstrates much technical skill at this point, they are driven by boundless imagination -- Brian Eno's synthesized "treatments" exploit electronic instruments as electronics, inste ...

Abandoning the intoxicating blend of art rock & glam-pop that distinguished Stranded & Country Life, Roxy Music concentrates on Bryan Ferry's suave, charming crooner persona for the elegantly modern Siren. As the disco-fied opener " Love Is the Drug" makes clear, Roxy embraces dance & unabashed pop on Siren, weaving them into their sleek, arty sound. It does come at the expense of their artier inclinations, which is part of what distinguished Roxy, but the end result is captivating. Lacking ...

Without Brian Eno, Roxy Music immediately became less experimental, yet it remained adventurous, as Stranded illustrates. Under the direction of Bryan Ferry, Roxy moved toward relatively straightforward territory, adding greater layers of piano & heavy guitars. Even without the washes of Eno's synthesizers, Roxy's music remains unsettling on occasion, yet in this new incarnation, they favor more measured material, whether it's the reflective "A Song for Europe" or the shifting textures of " Psa ...
