Pinned Review
In Rainbows is Radiohead's effort that proved everyone they still got it; while their previous albums weren't bad by any means, the fans were definitely lacking that strong emotional impact Radiohead had given in the end of the 90s and in the beginning of the 2000s. This is exactly what the band needed.
Not only is In Rainbows a pretty significant change of pace, having some of the catchiest elements out of any Radiohead LP and seeing the band move towards a poppier sound, it also has some of ... read more

With All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone Explosions In The Sky stay in their now perfected formula. While the record may not bring anything new for the group aside the piano that pops up in some of the tracks, the band doesn't really need to introduce much innovation: if it ain't broke don't fix it I guess. The thing is, while The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place nailed pretty much everything that the band offered, this album doesn't do so as well, as it tends to be quite inconsistent.

The Avalanches are back in 2020 with their third studio album, We Will Always Love You. Upon looking at the general information about this record, I have to say that I got very excited: the feature list on this thing is massive, not only in number, but also name-wise, as there's legendary musicians all over the tracklist.

Man on the Moon III: The Chosen is Cudi's return to his record series Man on the Moon and is also his return to form. Not only is this a quality record in terms of production, it's also got some fantastic standouts in its tracklist.
I have to admit that, to me at least, the record doesn't start on the strongest of notes, as I find the first third of this LP to have its weakest cuts. There's also really solid tunes in here too though, such as Tequila Shots, with its fantastic hook and eerie ... read more
With The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place, Explosions in the Sky almost seems to grant my wish. This LP brings back the great foundation the band had on their debut and it mixes it with the more intricate expression of their second album. And with the aspects of their first record coming back, it's also obvious how the Ok Computer influences are back aswell, as tracks like Let Down or Subterranean Homesick Alien immediatly come to mind when hearing the guitars on this LP. And this is actually ... read more
Coin Coin Chapter One: Gens de couleur libres is not just a fantastic musical experience, it's also a fantastic story with a fantastic arrangment.
Not only does this record balance incredibly well its narrative and its musical parts, it also makes it really clear how important both are: with more listens, it becomes more and more evident what's meant to work as a transition and what's meant to work as a really emotionally impactful moment. This is something I really struggled to find in ... read more
