The hype train started last year and was worth the buzz, Wet Leg is definitely one of the best debut albums of the year.
Indie Rock seems to hit a stumble as far as listeners are concerned, whether its too samey or too bold; however Wet Leg has definitely defied that and has just trasisted Indie Rock to a new a turning point. Courtesty with their unique creativity and discordant values, keeping listeners challenged and not pressing that skip button (Don't you dare!).

It's no Euphoria in regards to memorable (We shall see how the live version goes when the event happens), but the return for Loreen's entry Tattoo is overwhelmingly strong on both her vocal range and the engineering scale, which I think will set a new stepping stone in regards to Eurovision quality.
The 8th Gorillaz album and the 7th Gorillaz phase (Yes, I'm going there) Cracker Island to me proves why Gorillaz are still successful. This is to me their most pop-minded album that still holds both integrity and creativity that doesn't seem cliched (Their are still some electro and grime intact carrying through their last album Song Machine and perhaps a hint of 2017 divisive album Humanz).

*This review is based on a vinyl release.*
Such a welcoming addition to my compilation collection.
Not the best essential albums, especially if you know one album 'Sonic Highways' is completely missing, weird that!
This to me is a huge bummer because tracks like 'Something from Nothing' and 'Congregation' could've been easily added to the roster.
Aside from that, the track ordering was good (Though not as perfect as The White Stripes compilation).
If their was one track I felt could've been ... read more
Ah, December, the tail-end where we see junkyard albums that'll fizzle out before Christmas "Which is a shame, because it use to be a special month when big artists drop in for Christmas royalties...2015 recalls when Coldplay and Adele dropped in their big releases and we retailers had to endure the queues of fans claiming their physical media... That spark is non existent in 2022 (Thanks streaming), hence this upcoming review".
Just because this is the Number 1 album in the UK, ... read more

Helllo, namaste🙏🏻, loved your reviews and followed you. My 2nd conceptual EP 'Marine Affairs' has been just released and I will request you from my heart to check it once. I consists 4 songs (English majorly, with some tinge of hindi and Bengali in 2 track) and it will take only 8 minutes. I know you are busy enough but will be grateful if you review it on AOTY. Your review means a lot. It's a very novice attempt and I am learning, so I will request you to put a very honest review off course. Hope you are in safest of condition in this very hard times. If you do, it will make my day. Thanks in advance for your precious time. ✨🙏🏻

Hey!!!! So today I had an idea to make a very fun list on this amazing website that I'm addicted to. So... my goal is to make a huge RAINBOW🌈list, so you get to choose an album that you like that has an specific color, it can be literally any album but the majority of the cover has to be of the chosen color. So I'm gonna start by choosing one of my fav albums which has the color: RED 🔴
Send me a color and an album that you like, If you want to write something you like album this album feel free to do it!
Or you can just send the name and the color.
check the live update here all the time:
