 * Dusted Reviews - Blonde Redhead *
Sure, there was a lot of noise in Blonde Redhead's early years (particularly in their excellent self-titled first album), but there were also lovely melodies and logical, minor- and diminished-chord progressions that Sonic Youth could never have written.
Blonde Redhead's open-ended, jazzy rhythms on their first two records and the complex, precise post-punk charge on their next two were also far more elegant than Sonic Youth's plodding beats.
Blonde Redhead's first four albums featured nice chord progressions, but the band's sound was given shape by its sophisticated rhythmic sense and its noisy eccentricities.

 Blonde Redhead : Misery Is a Butterfly - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
In keeping with the group's move from Touch & Go to 4AD, Blonde Redhead's Misery Is a Butterfly is their darkest and most delicate album to date.
The move is both liberating and limiting: the album's soft focus allows Blonde Redhead to explore its relatively newfound romanticism more deeply than before -- particularly on the Eastern-tinged "Anticipation" -- but with less tension between the fragile and harsh aspects of the band's sound, its soft focus occasionally drifts into lack of focus.
The Blonde Redhead of old returns, somewhat, on more high-strung songs like "Falling Man" and "Maddening Cloud," both of which add some much-needed urgency to the album's mannered heartache.

The wonderful thing about Blonde Redhead is that unlike other experimental avant-rock, which often comes across as cool, detached, and overly intellectual, their records are suffused with violent, lava-hot emotions.
For their fifth record, Misery Is a Butterfly, Blonde Redhead moved on to 4AD, perhaps an appropriate choice as their increasingly crepuscular, spidery sound has begun to mirror some of that label's storied history.

Contrary to some reviewers' opinions of his contribution to Misery Is A Butterfly, Simone is not simply a time-keeper, but rather a crucial color in the Blonde Redhead palette, and he demonstrated the leading role he plays in the band with every brush stroke, each rim shot, and his cool precision.
Overall, the "classic" Blonde Redhead sound was represented well by the set, which featured songs from La Mia Vita Violenta, the album the band themselves consider to be the nearest in spirit to the new material.
