Building up on the sound he established in his previous record Born and Raised, John Mayer adds one of his greatest albums in his large catalogue. I prefer this to Born & Raised. Lol.
After exploring almost every corner of his signature sound in his first four records, John Mayer returns with a reinvented sound. In a modern classic, every track is heartwarming and feels like home.
After an amazing debut, John Mayer struggles to make this record not drag, but it does. Except for a few standout tracks (particularly Daughters) this album is a product of an artist under immense pressure from such a superb debut. Glad we went through this, paved the way for his magnum opus, Continuum.
This schtick would only work once, so I let it pass. In a span of 50 minutes, Cigarettes After Sex manages to make the same 10 songs sound so comfortable despite the blatant horniness.
The farthest they get from sounding the same is with the track Truly. Ig you could commend the cohesion through the drums. But you gotta expect more from a full-length studio effort, right?
In a rare misstep, TS takes us through a bumpy collection of songs that range from “Please Burn this” to “It needed a little more time to process”.
There’s nothing much to say here, when all is said and done within the confines of the record. DWG did the bare minimum and delivered, there’s nothing much to it really.
The other 15 tracks would have fared better as the standard edition of this record. Taylor, please throw Antonoff away.
I liked the first two records better, though there is an argument to be made here that the Lumineers have gotten objectively better.
Same ol’ same. Where are we headed with the Lumineers? Even they can’t seem to answer that.
From the tracks I’ve heard already on this record, I never thought Major was an R&B-centric artist. It’s a pleasant surprise. Genre-blending artists are hit and miss, though Major manages to make it work.
ALBUM OVERVIEW. Quintessentially Vampire Weekend, this record perfectly captures the musical range of their discography— from the highly referential lyrics to the catchy guitar riffs and arpeggios. This is Contra and Modern Vampires on steroids.
Vampire Weekend may have just made their best album to date. With a cacophony of sounds and melodies, they manage to emulate 70s Hard Rock while staying close to their roots. This is just hard to describe. Literally. The whole album is a mishmash ... read more
Essentially, the most Vampire Weekend song ever in a long while now. Bringing out elements from every preceding album. The lyricism reeks of the Debut LP!
ALBUM OVERVIEW — A classic masterpiece every human should listen to before they die.
Time to slowly roll out my reviews for each album of Led Zep’s career. They are one of my favourite bands!
Probably, the most well-realised debut for a musical artist ever. Led Zeppelin comes buzzing in the dawn of the 70s fully-formed and filled with energy. No one can deny this album a place on the greatest musical pieces in the modern era.
From the start to finish with a 44 minute runtime, Led ... read more
A return to form for Vampire Weekend after the west coast escapade they had in FOTB. Although some may be quick to dismiss this effort as recreating the magic of their third studio album MVOTC, these collective of songs show Vampire Weekend going to a Rock oriented frontier (which I am totally invested in). Glad to see CT more hands-on on Gen X Cops.
Harry Fookin Styles, you did well mate!! This is a masterpiece, kinda reminds me of Current Joys and the melody is quite similar to another song, I forgot what it was called.
I AM BACK ON AOTY! After a hiatus, I’ve finally listened to my first album of 2022. I was planning to listen to this earlier, but my procrastination got the best of me. Plus, a raging storm hit my town around Christmas taking down all the internet lines. Anyways, back to Voyager by Current Joys.
Voyager is just so me! The anger, that urge to scream out and cuss. This burst of emotions is beautiful. It’s a chaotic beauty, and may take more than two listens to truly sink in.
