Joy Division - Closer
100

(Post Punk, Gothic Rock)

At first it took me a lot to get into this album, but it absolutely pays off. to me this is their best album. first of all, the sound is now more diverse as well as the songs and way more consistent. the addition of synths supports a contrast between the lyrical topics and the instrumental, an example of that, the song "Isolation". this song shows a vulnerable Ian Curtis talking about the feeling of loneliness and isolation and how he is ashamed of himself ... read more

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

(Post-Punk, Gothic Rock)

I've been aware of joy division for a while, already knew "Love will tear us apart" and "Disorder" but didn't check their debut. This album is very gloomy and depressive. the sound landscape is very dark and Ambiental the production is very minimal, maybe because of the time it was released or the lack of resources but it actually complements very well with the topics. the lyrics presented by Ian Curtis are very ... read more

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses

(Jangle Pop, Neo-Psychedelia)

I stumbled across this album randomly a while ago and ever since it has been one of my favorite albums ever.
I really like the jangly guitars by john squire and Ian Brown's Vocal melodies. The whole band shines in the song "I am the resurrection", a perfect song. the whole thing is perfect for me, even the "interludes" and the song "Don't stop" which is the previous song "Waterfall" but ... read more

The Smile - A Light for Attracting Attention

(Art Rock, Alternative Rock)

This Album is great, it feels really fresh, like an experiment with time signature changes, more song dynamics, grooves overall these songs are different, and knowing the people involved in it, I don't actually get the comparisons with Radiohead at all, and I didn't want to make and say anything about it but these things are very different sonically. I can't say the same about the lyrics though, it's not a bad thing but ... read more

Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool

(Art Rock, Chamber Pop)

I really hope this isn't the last album of theirs but if it is this is one of the best closers of a discography that has been regarded as one of the best in the past 30 years, for a band with such a experience is common to hear a lack of quality over the times but this album is easily one of their best. the instrumentation takes the electronic that they dragged from Kid A ever since but a more orchestral instrumentation, jonny greenwood's ... read more

Radiohead - The King of Limbs

(Electronic, Experimental Rock)

Having in mind that this is one considered one of their weakest albums alongside Pablo Honey can held you back from actually listening to this. I personally think Pablo honey is not a band album by any means and this album either. this album is build base on drum loops, every song has a drum loop, effects and voice which simplifies every song, being this the case on almost every song except for "codex" this album even ... read more

Radiohead - In Rainbows Disk 2

This review is straight to the point. So, this EP, the B-sides from the In Rainbows sessions, is the most underrated project from theirs, obviously is not as good, but you should check this one out

Radiohead - In Rainbows

(Art Rock, Alternative Rock)

In Rainbows is by far my favorite Radiohead album ever. lyrically there's no concept, making this a more personal experience, the album talks about very common experiences, things anyone can empathize, sure, it can sometimes be really melancholic but this album has a optimistic side. the sound is very melodic and dreamy thanks to his multiple layers of sounds and even the most simple songs are really beautiful. This album is just my ... read more

Radiohead - Hail To the thief

(Art Rock, Alternative Rock)

In this album the band goes back to the usage of guitars without ditching the electronic influence. there is some songs with drum loops and effects added but the main focus was to make songs quick and spontaneously. the songs are more melodic and most of the time the end of each there is a explosive break of tension build up though out the whole song which makes really dynamic songs. the lyrics are more political, caused by general ... read more

Radiohead - Amnesiac

(Experimental rock, Art rock)

This album is kinda odd to describe since most of this songs where recorded during the Kid A sessions, and the whole thing is considered Kid A B-sides but i this feel like a new thing for me. sure it has the electronic experimentation, but, the guitar and the "traditional" instruments are more present, in Kid A there's only one song with electric guitar. plus the songs here feel more spacey, and ethereal, less IDM influenced, the ... read more

Radiohead - Kid A

(Electronic, Art Rock)

Radiohead's most experimental album.
in Kid A they ditched the traditional rock sound and focused in a more electronic approach, also influenced by jazz and classical music. The general sound is more ambient, spacey and more "robotic" since there's and absence of guitar in almost every. The lyrical content is more abstract and surreal, the lyrics in a lot of songs were conceive almost randomly with some bizarre lines, making the album like a ... read more

Radiohead - OK Computer

(Alternative Rock, Art Rock)

The topics of the album has made this album to be regarded as some kind of "prophet". the isolation in the modern era the displeasure in life caused by the consumerism, the political chaos in the world. the lyrics are a perfect mix with the abrasive and atmospheric sounds, experimenting even more, adding now electronic influences. the album is not always so discouraging (Lucky) giving the listener a light of hope at the almost ... read more

Radiohead - The Bends

(Alternative Rock, Britpop)

The Second Studio Album by Radiohead is an obvious improvement over last efforts.
Thom Yorke as a writer shows a more mature approach talking about their raise to fame and how this affected his mental health, and as a singer a more confident style leaning to iconic falsettos and impressive high notes, the production and the band's adding effects in the album makes every song more spacey and unique giving the album his own style. here the band ... read more

Radiohead - Pablo Honey

(Alternative Rock, Grunge)

The Debut of British band Radiohead. Pablo Honey is a decent alternative album.
it's notably influenced by grunge/alternative rock bands such as nirvana and pixies, noise rock groups like dinosaur jr and pop rock group U2. The lyrical content is a mix of melancholia and teen angst decently developed into catchy songs . the songs dynamic on most of the album follows the the classic quiet, loud, quiet, style which makes the middle part of the ... read more
