🔥🔥 2 EXEMPLAIRES VERSION LIMITÉE VINYL ORANGE SONT DISPONIBLES.  À PRÉCISER DANS LA COMMANDE 🔥🔥

‘Never exhale’ est le reflet d’un groupe qui n’a jamais repris son souffle. DITZ a tourné sans relâche depuis la sortie de son premier album, The Great Regression. Les morceaux qui composent leur nouvelle production ont été écrits à travers l’Europe, souvent pendant des jours de repos et dans des salles de répétition empruntées.  

On pourrait dire que le groupe considère l’enregistrement et la sortie de musique comme des réflexions secondaires. Ils jouent souvent leurs morceaux en live des années avant leur sortie, les ajustant au fil du temps. Les chansons de l’album final peuvent encore évoluer avant d’être entendues dans leur version définitive.  

Never Exhale a été enregistré en grande partie au studio Holy Mountain à Londres, pendant un mois de janvier glacial. Le processus a été semé d’obstacles : le plan initial d’enregistrement dans le Rhode Island a été abandonné lorsque DITZ a reçu l’opportunité d’assurer une tournée en première partie d’IDLES. Cependant, l’album a tout de même été mixé par l’ingénieur initialement prévu, Seth Manchester (Model/Actriz, Lingua Ignota, Big Brave). Le résultat est un album forgé sous la pression de sa propre création : laborieux mais pas moins percutant.  

Les thèmes de l’album se révèlent davantage au fil des écoutes. L’ouverture, Taxi Man, explore la notion de peser son impact sur le monde. Le personnage éponyme de Taxi Man peut être perçu comme une figure de Saint-Pierre.  
Plus loin, l’album aborde des thèmes tels que la haine et la division inutiles (Space/Smile et It Smells Like Something Died In Here), le vieillissement (Señor Siniestro), et la séparation entre le physique et la réalité (The Body As A Structure). C’est un album politique mais profondément personnel, plus proche de Genet ou Kafka que d’Orwell ou Huxley.  

Sur le plan sonore, l’album puise ses racines dans les influences habituelles de DITZ : le noise rock classique comme The Jesus Lizard ou Shellac, ou le post-punk abstrait de The Fall, tout en intégrant de nouvelles inspirations. Le morceau de clôture, Britney, évoque des comparaisons avec Radiohead ou Mogwai. Dans l’ensemble, cet album marque une nette évolution par rapport à leur premier effort : un avant-goût de ce qui est à venir.

Great book, the battle descriptions should've been more detailed
Format: Hardcover
The book looks great, both the dust jacket and the book cover are printed with the cover image. The dust jacket is textured with a matte finish and shiny silver text, while the book cover looks exactly like the front cover image provided here on Amazon (with a glossy finish). In my opinion, the dust jacket looks better. The book itself looks great. The texts are a bit too short for my taste though, as I would've like to read more detailed descriptions of each battle. Read the sample of the Battle of Marathon that's provided here. It will give you a good idea of the level of detail provided for each battle. Also, some of the battles that didn't get the full 2 page treatment were, in my opinion, significant and were deserving of getting it (Battle of Kadesh for example), while some less significant battles did get it, oddly enough. All in all, I'd definitely recommend the book, but it does have a few shortcomings mentioned above. PS. Also, Amazon, please work on your packaging. Add a few of those (styro)foam pieces with the book or something. My book did arrive mostly ok, and mostly unscathed, but when I picked up the package, the book was moving freely inside the banged up package. I'd say I got lucky it didn't get damaged too badly (apart from a few minor impact traces -- I'd say condition it arrived in was 9/10).

Very good book with a few minor flaws
Format: Hardcover
As most books published under the DK banner, this is a visually excellent book that is a pleasure to look at. It is well written and chock-full of outstanding illustrations and maps. I do have a few minor "ding" though. First, I think that the book should have included a "why" the battle changed history. While in most cases, this rationale is included in the text, in a few cases one has to wonder "why" this battle was important; for example, they chose the World War I battle of Verdun, but they also said that the battle was "inconclusive"; if so, how did it change history? Second, I have to question the choice of some of the battles. For example, the editors list "Arnhem", which ended up as a costly allied failure, but fail to mention the wildly successful Soviet "Operation Bagration", which destroyed the German Army Group Center. Third, there were some minor factual inaccuracies. The battles of Passchendaele and Dunkirk were both shown on a map as being located in Northern Italy instead of northern France, while Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of France, was shown on a map as being more at Pas de Calais vice the beaches of Normandy. In spite of these nits, this is a good book worthy of belonging in you library. Four stars.

Awesome Book for lovers of history and battles.
Format: Hardcover
This book is a great addition for a history lover or a military history lover. It would make a nice coffee table book too. Information is arranged in an easy to understand grouping throughout the book. Illustrations add to the book too. It is a heavy well made book.
