I have (mostly) everything Parannoul composed registered on this website because I love the guy. So I will say this with a deal of partiality: this is the most unmemorable thing Parannoul ever done.

It's not bad in any way; the progressions are enticing, and the piano melodies are beautiful. But I doubt I will revisit these pieces and this album any time soon.

But Parannoul is talented enough to have me put high expectations on him.

Parannoul still doesn't believe that he's awesome? I don't need any more proof.

Chaotic, boring, trite.

After the big surprise that was "Coloratura," it seemed that Coldplay had finally firmly grasped the reins and marched on the right path. Unfortunately, we're left with nothing but guesswork.

I was a big fan of the old Coldplay, the Coldplay before "Mylo Xyloto."

"Parachutes"; "A Rush of Blood to the Head"; "Viva la vida or Death and All His Friends" — all full of great, timeless classics that were part of my ... read more

After the amazing release of 'To See the Next Part of the Dream,' Parannoul released a single in the same year.

Bringing again the amazing mix of Shoegaze and Emo, Parnnoul gave rise to an amazing single.

The most remarkable thing in Parannoul is how he manages to make incredible sound out of virtual instruments. His top-notch production skills juxtaposed with his oneiric, nostalgic, bittersweet melodies all blends to a catartic and poignant experience.

I think Parannoul's Achilles heel is ... read more

Review:

This album divided opinions to a tremendous degree. The album 'Ultrapop' from 'The Armed' is one of the most audacious projects of this year; it falls into the Noise Rock and Post-Hardcore category.

I cannot say that: "This is good" or "This is crap." It is how intricate this is.

My position is this: this album has a lot of enjoyable things and many elements within it. But it is remarkably chaotic, excruciatingly chaotic.

I have tinnitus and otitis that comes ... read more

My vomit just vomited.

After the phenomenon that was 'Dance Monkey' by Australian artist, singer, and songwriter: Tones and I, she decided to compose her first album in 2021 - the infamous: 'Welcome to the Madhouse.'

I'll spare the disposable parlapié and move on to the point.

This is one of the worst things I've ever had the displeasure of hearing in my life.

And it's funny, to say the least, to think that the worst part of this album is Tones and I itself and its vocals that sound ... read more

After Eurovision 2021, Måneskin quickly became a phenomenon.

I personally was quite pleased with their victory. The song, although not my favorite, was one of the most enticing songs at Eurovision — besides it is a prerogative to have a Hard Rock/Alternative Rock song at Eurovision.

I'm sure they got some votes from fans who thought with "something" other than their heads — either way, it doesn't make the song any less valid.

After Eurovision 2021, I followed the ... read more

Prepare to be dazzled.

Bruno Pernadas is perhaps the best Portuguese musician today (and his success is most notable abroad). His most famous album: 'Those Who Throw Objects at the Crocodiles Will Be Asked to Retrieve Them,' was a find for me. A treat within Portuguese music and progressive pop - an easy 10/10.

In 2021, Bruno Pernadas brought us another excellent album to enjoy — in the summer, it has more impact: 'Private Reasons,' leaving a bit of the jazz register of the previous ... read more

Coloratura is one of the most fascinating progressive rock songs I have ever heard. This coming from someone who loves Yes, believe me, Coldplay has reached the level of several Yes songs with this single.

Coldplay has always relied on poetic, sometimes metaphorical, but always well-thought-out lyrics. And of course, the incredible voice of Chris Martin. But the move away from Pop Rock was undoubtedly a positive thing for the band.

The intro already sets up a soundscape capable of submerging ... read more

My Bloody Valentine introduced me to the incredible world of Shoegaze, and it quickly became ingrained in me.

That said, when I heard that a Shoegaze (and Emo) album pumped out mid-2021, my curiosity roused in the same instant. The cover that flaunts a chimney emitting a white smoke while birds fly over the smoke roars nostalgia, the wish for freedom of an alienated teenager whose candor and hope turned out to be perfidious. It's a beautiful and ecstatic cover.

We're talking about: 'To See ... read more
