"Psych rock vibes with time Australian techno Rave in there"

Reviews:

-Groovy funky cool, truly don’t have much of an opinion on this album, ethereal connection was my favorite track and i get the distinct impression that this absolutely fucks if you hear it live

-Dracula was a great song. After that the rest of the album gets lost in each other.

-New type of music for me and it didn't disappoint. Some really good songs in here and I ... read more

January 2026 - Chris Z's Pick.

"One of my all time favorite folk/folk-rock albums, I've had these songs on repeat for basically a decade and it's influenced my songwriting A LOT. Really incredible songwriting and folk sensibility on it and was super inspirational to me for several years. The only demerit I would give it is the back half being padded by v2s and v3s of earlier songs. Some of them are genuinely great reinterpretations but others feel very ... read more

"Pachinko is the latest album from Moron Police that covers major themes like death, self identity and many other heavy topics. All the while it's ripping incredible prog rock riffs and pop style ballads. Since their death of their drummer, they took their time and crafted a true labor of love album and made something truly special in a heavy/musically impressive sense while simultaineously being the most upeat and whimsical they've ever been ... read more

"80’s Jazz Fusion insanity with tasty guitar and sax melodies and improv solos"

Reviews:

-Thoughts:
Oh I think it’s jazz I could get behind this
Not life changing but an enjoyable listen so far

Stand Out Tracks:
Gossip
Time in Place

-The motif in No Notice is so catchy and unique absolute riffage. Ending of After All was incredible. Overall this group is so in sync with each other. The synergy is off the charts. The sax and guitar ... read more

January 2026 - Phil's Pick.

"This album is a fun experience front to back, an entire vibe that doesn’t take itself seriously but will get stuck in your head for at least a week!! Lots of flavor and energy. Bangers, bops, absolutely want to dance the entire time listening. I love this album as a let loose experience and Tyler knocked this one out of the park for me. "

Reviews:

-Tyler has always set out to do very cool shit. But knowing this was just a shot in the dark and ... read more

"Alternative; heavy topics delivered with an upbeat sound"

Reviews:

-Perfectly fine for what it is, pure vibes and not much in the way of substance

- Its very easy listening but nothing really grabbed me. Maybe it hits more on road trips and further listens. But not bad by any means.

-This satisfied my need for music that is like the music I grew up listening to

-Night Drives is such a fitting name for this project, with an 80’s inspired, ... read more

January 2026 - Connor's Pick.

"Angry rap/folk music about the state of US politics that makes me want to take a bite out of the dry wall, my favorite album of 2025. my favorite song off of it is THAT’S THE AMERICAN WAY."

Reviews:

-This one is right in the middle of the road for me, I can say that on one hand there is some pumping beat selection, memorable bars and choruses and impactful political elements - but on the other hand Lil Darkie’s voice can be grating, ... read more

"Very chill. Coldplay's first album"

Reviews:

- Classic Coldplay album, i think I prefer Rush of Blood tho.

-I mean this album is just a masterpiece. Coldplay could’ve stopped making music after this album if they wanted to. This album paved the way for the genre.

-This album is a literal classic and Coldplay’s best work no question! Such a lovely and nostalgic listen, there is a lot of drama and depth in this album but ... read more

January 2026 - Chris M. Pick.

"A Post Rock album where each song tells a story about historic departures and valiant feats in History all through the lens of an instrumental/orchestral back drop."

Reviews:

-Absolute vibes. Anything that references traveling far and away via space or seal is gonna be my jam. And it stayed so instrumental emotional. Solid pick.

-Beautiful harmonic adventure. Very enjoyable listen. Hard to break up into multiple listening sessions. Would be good to ... read more
