Childish Gambino - Atavista
NR

Sorry, but I can't help but think of Pierce Hawthorn going crazy on the keyboard with these synths

Childish Gambino - Sober
80

Now that is a smooth song

Imagine Dragons - Hopeless Opus
100

It is a crime they didn't put this out instead of I Bet My Life as the lead single

Sippix - Summit Blvd.
69

They've got the instrumentals and production down, but Sippix is missing just one thing. Perhaps it's vocals and lyrics, or the music simply requires more spice in its melodies, but Sippix has proven he has the know-how to solve it.

Imagine Dragons - Eyes Closed
55

You exist... good for you. Anyway, onto the next Actual single

Maruja - Connla's Well
85

Exactly what I wanted from a rock/jazz hybrid

alt-J - An Awesome Wave
100

The clackity percussion and bells alone make this one of the best album I've heard. It's all just too good

Strongest: Dissolve Me, Tesselate, Ms, Bloodflood, Taro, Hand-Made

twenty one pilots - Backslide
65

Sounds like parody of something off of vessel

Imagine Dragons - Early Demos
48

Thanks LuMidnight for revealing that this does in fact exist... anyway

Strongest: Speak to Me, Pistol Whip, Boots, the pit
Weakest: Everything else, like holy cow. No wonder most of this was unreleased

half•alive - At Fingerprints (Acoustic)
86

This is supposed to end the COAP Era? Well alright, pretty solid conclusion

BANNERS - Where The Shadow Ends
94

All Back to Mine feels like a nice collection of songs, but their messages lack variety, whereas Where The Shadow Ends really explores its concept. This is a real artistic endeavor and must be recognized as such. Starts pretty strong with Rule the World and Supercollide, with a bland middle, and then ends out with some of BANNERS best work. Here's to hoping BANNERS keeps releasing albums

Strongest: Heads and Tails, Supercollide, Someone To You, Where The Shadow Ends
Weakest: No One Knows us, ... read more

BANNERS - All That You Made Me
80

This song actually sneaks up on you with time

BANNERS - Always Yours
60

Some of their best and worst revisited, followed by one original song which is just sorta ok

BANNERS - All Back to Mine
84

Finally, a second album!

I've come to terms that this LP won't quite live up Where The Shadow Ends. The last album had too few singles, and this one had way too many. Only two new songs to listen to, but they were worth it. Ultimately, worthy of being counted among BANNERs albums, just not quite on par with it's predecesor.

Strongest: Tell You I Love You, There Goes my Girl, Perfectly Broken
Weakest: The Best View in Liverpool, C'est la vie, In Your Universe

Cosmo Sheldrake - Eye to the Ear
70

Haven't finished it yet, but it's nice to hear a more conventional album by cosmo just to remind us he's really good at composing

Milky Chance - Sadnecessary
65

Sometimes it works, sometimes the vocals are just plain bad. Sadnecessary works because it sounded like a song Spoon would release, and down by the river sounds like alt j.

Strongest: Sadnecessary, Down by the River, Stolen Dance
Weakest: Sweet Sun, Running, Feathery

BANNERS - Empires On Fire
82

Someone to you may be the peak of this ep, but songs like Empires On Fire and Into The Storm further justify its existence

Radiohead - The King of Limbs
41

Nope, nope, nope. A moon shaped pool, except it's stupid

How are you all giving this a pass? It's so stale and repetitive.
And how do you write a song about the best bird in existence and fail to make it interesting?

90

Viva la Vida and Everyday Life feel like siblings in Coldplays discography, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I like Everyday Life more. Instrumentally, this is one of my favorites and it's certainly one of Coldplay most distinct albums. In truth, Viva La Vida is Coldplay's smoothest flowing album, providing a distinct character to every song, making it perfect for repeat listens

Radiohead could only dream of making an album as replayable and chill as this

Strongest: Viva ... read more
