Francis of Delirium - Run, Run Pure Beauty
75

The band's sound alternates between more energetic and gritty moments and introspective passages, with a balance that makes the album smooth from start to finish. The guitars play a central role, but never overpower the vocal melodies, which remain the true emotional heart of the tracks.

Weird Nightmare - Hoopla
80

Sembrano proprio gli Oasis di magari 30 anni fa, o per certi versi ricordano i Beatles, così come gli Oasis all'inizio mi facevano ricordare ma credo che non sia stato assolutamente voluto somigliare a qualcuno e in particolare agli Oasis. Credo che questo disco meriti un ascolto e dalle recensioni forse ancora di più il precedente.

They sound just like Oasis from maybe 30 years ago, or in some ways they remind me of the Beatles, just as Oasis initially reminded me of, but ... read more

Arab Strap - You You You
60

Bella, ma si sente che hanno ripreso la tastierina dal pezzo "Your Love" di "Frankie Knuckles", forse con più ascolti potrebbe migliorare. Non mi soddisfa del tutto.

Nice, but you can tell they took the keyboard from "Your Love" by "Frankie Knuckles." It might improve with more listening. I'm not entirely satisfied with it. Nice ending.

Laufey - A Matter of Time: The Final Hour
82

La bellezza di questo disco è nella voce di lei. Effettivamente un gran bel disco.

MX LONELY - ALL MONSTERS
81

What keeps All Monsters from being just another well-made shoegaze-adjacent debut is the lack of pose. There's no aestheticizing of the wound here, no romance of the damaged artist. The monsters are specific, the production is unfussy, and the band sounds like people who actually had to learn how to live with the things they're singing about.

Chalk - Crystalpunk
70

There's an easy, accessible quality to it, the kind that successful music needs. The voice is what carries it. A few listens in, and I'm hooked.

Pulp - The Man Comes Around
82

This is good, better than the last album.

Madonna - I Feel So Free
45

Very easy techno dance with very poor melodie and bad voice. Too easy to be Madonna. 4/10

Lime Garden - Maybe Not Tonight
78

I brani migliori hanno quella qualità di sembrare leggeri mentre portano un certo peso. Ti fanno prima ballare e muovere la testa ma poi ti lasciano addosso una strana nostalgia perché è musica che in qualche modo è ispirata dal passato. È pop trasformato in punk.

The best songs have that quality of seeming light while carrying a certain weight. They make you dance and nod your head at first, but then they leave you with a strange nostalgia because it is ... read more

Lana Del Rey - First Light
75

It's a classical James Bond song.

Delta V - In fatti ostili
100

Questo disco è un capolavoro dei Delta V. Peccato sia passato quasi inosservato. Da ascoltare i testi con attenzione.

U2 - Easter Lily EP
80

Easter Lily sembra la raccolta più solida che gli U2 abbiano messo insieme in almeno vent'anni non perché abbiano reinventato se stessi, ma perché sembrano aver smesso di doverlo dimostrare.

Easter Lily seems to be the most solid collection U2 have put together in at least twenty years, not because they’ve reinvented themselves, but because they seem to have stopped feeling the need to prove it.

Kanye West - BULLY
80

This is one of his best album since "Yeezus" nevertheless Pitchfork is paid to do shame on him.

Robyn - Sexistential
80

It's just a 8/10 an nothing more. Really well crafted pop and electro together, quite minimal like it must be. Aoty for sure.
Every beat carries longing, vulnerability, desire, and the strange courage it takes to keep feeling deeply.
The album moves between euphoria and loneliness, turning private wounds into bright, human pop moments.
It is less about spectacle and more about what survives after love shakes you open.

The Twilight Sad - IT’S THE LONG GOODBYE
92

There’s something about The Twilight Sad’s records that feels like rain that never truly stops: it may ease off, it may turn into a thin mist, but it lingers, clinging to you. It’s the Long Goodbye embodies exactly this kind of emotional atmosphere. Not a sharp farewell, but a slow fade, almost cruel in its delicacy. This is a masterpiece, but I'm thinking that people doesn't recognize anymore what is a maspertpiece. Or maybe, masterpieces can't exist anymore ... read more

Snail Mail - Ricochet
72

Five years after Valentine, Lindsey Jordan returns with Ricochet, an album that feels quieter and more expansive at the same time. Where her previous work circled around heartbreak and fresh wounds, this one turns toward harder, stranger territory — mortality, dissociation, the unsettling sense of being a stranger to yourself. Musically, Jordan trades in some of her trademark guitar directness for orchestral arrangements and hypnotic melodies that give the songs unusual room to breathe. ... read more

underscores - U
85

They do everything like Jane Remover now.
