Of course, this is a perfect album. Why would I doubt Wolf Alice?
With 2 perfect albums, Wolf Alice has just scored a hat-trick with Blue Weekend and definitely cements at the peaks of the greatest British Artists, and rightly so.
Blue Weekend has evolved and consolidated its identity with its completely original, husky, grungey style and such irresistible defiance. Ellie Roswell also captures every celestial emotion of every track delivered, whether its anxiety to anguish. Arguably, you could ... read more

This is Finland’s Linkin Park and I'm really liking it. Although I think their live Eurovision version does more justice and punchier than the studio version.
Bwoah, still a great track though.

*tsk* I guess the days when Maroon 5 pulled off a solid album is well and truly over.
Granted, there was some snippet of pop moments if you seek to give this another playthrough, but that's just scraping the barrel on how sourly lackluster JORDI was.
The production is just a manufactured, mainstream cookie-cutter, glistened with recycled repetitive engineering that doesn't want to bat to change their formula, which is a shame as their debut feel-good album "Songs Like Jane" proves ... read more

It's a solid debut with flamboyant engineering and mature lyric work, which were Easy Life's strongest points of the album, but Life's a Beach on the long-term replay value won't do much for me. Some tracks do dip up with some sweet instrumentals, but then certain tracks suddenly dips under with overuse of bouncing between multiple genres, which was enough for me to feel detached.
Satisfactory, but one playthrough was enough for me, and probably get lost in the shuffle over the course of Summer.

Considering this is his seventh album to date, Seeking New Gods is one of the finest entries by Gruff Rhys.
The chassis of this album certainly has Super Furry Animals vibes, but the provoking abstract creativity of Rhys is what makes Seeking New Gods, a resplendent and joyful album to playthrough.
Great album.

Great album.
If you're after that Nostalgia rehash, then Intruder is perhaps the most appropriate name, because veteran Gary Numan has moved on from the past and instead gives us this fiery electronica, with contaminating dark aura within the production.
I would say the finale was disillusioning, but Gary will not be deterred on the current climate by delving into this fantastic cinematic album. While most veteran artists care about their past and indulge it so dearly (Especially those that are so ... read more

So I'm gonna start by choosing one of my fav albums which has the color: RED 🔴
