Will probably grow on me even more, as I went from loving half of the songs on release to loving almost every track by the end of the day (after about 8 full listens). This album is definitely sonically different in its 70s soft rock approach, but I wouldn't say the departure from the harder style of rock is as unexpected as people put this album down for. Whilst The Clearing only has one heavier track (BBB), Blue Weekend still only had two (Smile and Play the Greatest Hits), suggesting ... read more
A great summer album, possibly Sports Team’s best. Back when I used to like Sorry (band), I freaked out when I realised it was Asha Lorenz on Cool it Kid.
Great sophomore album from Wet Leg with instant favourites for me like ‘pokemon’ and ‘Pillow Talk’. I am almost inclined to say I like this more than their first record.
Like this now more than I originally did. Bit overproduced but in a good way?
Dreamy and modern, Wolf Alice did it again. One of my favourite albums of all time.
One small thing I love about this record is the subtle transition when listening to ‘Lipstick on the Glass’ after ‘Delicious Things’, I love it when artists continue songs into each other.
Standout tracks: Delicious Things, Smile, How Can I Make it Okay?
Weakest (but still great) track: No Hard Feelings
An overall successful album with some really clever and current earworms such as ‘Bang Bang Bang’ and ‘Boys these Days’
One of the best pop albums of recent years, a true showcase in Gaga’s ability to experiment but stay true to her core identity and produce a great record.
Standout tracks include my personal favourite ‘Killah’ (particularly in a live environment such as SNL) for its unforgiving lyrics and hook, ‘Garden of Eden’ and ‘Abracadabra.’
Favourite Eurovision song, period, for me. I have racked up almost 1000 streams of ICH KOMME since its release (probably doubled if you are counting the live versions and the club remix) and for good reason. I think the lyrics of this are permanently ingrained in my mind for life by now, even if I don’t speak a word of Finnish.
I could rant about this track for hours but to put it plainly, this song holds a certain power in its message, sound and performance that I’ve never felt ... read more
Definitely over hated album. This album is really meant to be heard as the title implies: under the sun. That’s when it really clicked for me, and I would really recommend doing the same.
Favourite tracks: Solar Power, Mood Ring, Stoned at the Nail Salon
Favourite track for me from TMBTE: something about the instrumentation really does it for me, incredibly beautiful.
An incredible song which instantly became a Wolf Alice classic for me. I have cried so many times to this.
