Don Broco has flirted with metal on previous releases... now it's a serious relationship. The move to a heavier sound feels like a natural progression in the band's career. If there’s one thing holding the album back, even slightly, it’s that much of its strongest material had already been released as singles.

There is nothing musically wrong with this album. The vocals are the main problem. Songs are sometimes ruined by poor delivery and cringe-worthy lyrics. Some lines should've been rerecorded, others rewritten.

For every banger on this album, an underwhelming track lurks to break the momentum.

I've been listening to Low Roar for years, but only recently learned of Ryan's passing. Coincidentally, House in the Woods is probably their most depressing album. It’s soft and quiet, it demands patience, but it rewards that patience with rich, atmospheric beauty.

"Today, I'll be remembered
Tomorrow, just a dream"

Intimate and tear inducing. Ichiko Aoba's voice is that of an angel singing you to sleep.

Tsunami Sea is not reinventing the wheel of Metalcore, but it remains a great listen nonetheless.

Muse went from parodying Radiohead and Queen to parodying themselves to complete absurdity, culminating into an album with only one tolerable song to its name.

Quirky, ambitious, human. It captivates and surprises at every corner.

If Radiohead's Kid A was a left turn in music, 22, A Million was a U-turn.

An 80's throwback brought into modern times, infused with Justin Vernon's unique writing style. SABLE, fABLE feels like a spiritual successor to 22, A Million, guiding the listener on a spiritual voyage, this time without the vocoders and wild electronic experimentation. Compared to i,i, it's a more focused and cohesive project and fans of the early work will enjoy Vernon's falsetto and signature vocal stacking.
