Usually, at each of my 100 review intervals, I look back and review one of my unreviewed favourites. For my 600th, I reviewed "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy", one of my favourite rap albums of the 2010s, for my 500th, I reviewed "Blonde", my favourite record ever, and so forth. However, this time round (with thanks to my friend @blobfishdsluggy), I decided to hear one of my worst albums, and I've dived right to the bottom of the barrel with this one. "Total ... read more

Coldplay's a band that, over the past few years, has had a pretty interesting career, albeit quite a successful one. Always boasting the same vibrant sound that, even though it stuck to conventions, slapped when it slapped, they proved themselves to be a band that made comfortable, safe tracks that, at their finest, made for a real nice listen. With their newest record, "Music of the Spheres", they aim for the same chord again, adding a more cosmic spin to things this time around. The ... read more
I love Lil Ugly Mane. "Mista Thug Isolation" is one of my favourite hip hop albums ever made, being infectiously idiosyncratic, punchy and addictive. It's a record that hasn't grown off me a bit since I first heard it, and, in turn, has made me a pretty big Lil Ugly Mane fan. So, to say the least, "Volcanic Bird Enemy And The Voiced Concern" was a welcome drop, one that, as soon as I heard it dropped, I couldn't wait to hear. In terms of the Virginian's discography, this ... read more
I've had this record on my plate for a while now; I've just never gotten around to it until today. I heard this for the first time (only "Ogunde") a couple of months ago and, I'll be honest, I wasn't the biggest fan. But, now, when I listen to John Coltrane's final ever performance, the madcap, free-spirited "The Olatunji Concert: The Last Live Recording", I can't help but get the feeling that Coltrane has nailed exactly what he was going for. The jazz auteur went into this ... read more

Before I get started with the review, I wanted to get a few things out of the way regarding how I'm gonna be reviewing in future. By no means does this mean I'm gonna stop reviewing music; I genuinely love hearing new music and other recs I find off here and, although I may not be the most vocal person in it, I think the AOTY community is awesome and I love interacting with everyone in it. As of late, ... read more

Bursting on to the scene with one hell of a bang, synthpop duo Magdalena Bay's debut record "Mercurial World" is bubbly, colourful and incredibly easy to immerse yourself in. Unlike most, from their very first record, they establish a sound that, as well as being addictive front to back, is indefinitely theirs. Throughout the record's whole runtime, Magdalena Bay let you know whose world you're indulging in, using this to make a statement about their new standing in the synthpop ... read more

Hey Mate,
Just wondering if you were able to contribute to a list by @CamDoesMusic and @truthfulreviews based upon your 10 favourite 90's albums. This would work through you messaging myself a list from 1 being the best and 10th being the 10th best album you have listened to from the 90's. If you are able to contribute with a quote summarising the particular album as well that would be awesome! Your information delivered to us will be used to create a list named "AOTY Users Favourite 90's Albums".
Thank You So Much, Have a Great Day :)

What's a song you liked that was completely destroyed by commercial overplay?

My friend says that I've ruined music because I review it analytically (same guy called MF DOOM boring).
