I really enjoy this. It is a nice introduction to the genre and to Miles Davis.
What an experience. As many people warned, this is not an easy album. Let's go back to 2013, when I watched that Wolf Of Wall Street trailer that featured a great song called Black Skinhead. Since English is not my first language, I was mainly interested in its amazing production and rhythms, and gave Yeezus a go. I loved the first three songs and their electronic influences, then couldn't get any further. I wasn't ready to make sense of the pastiche of sounds and voices that aggresively ... read more
Man that beat and sample in 4th dimension. It made say ugh uh indeed.
I loved this. The song Kids See Ghosts reminded me of Massive Attack in their debut album, everythin sounds great.
"When we forget the infection
Will we remember the lesson?"
Bring Me The Horizon truly are my Linkin Park of this decade. Since Sempiternal, I've felt with this band the same level of teenage excitement as with LP's best years, so it is quite difficult for me to be objective. But here we go.
At first listen I felt underwhelmed, because the song structure and sonic landscapes are very similar to Ludens and Nihilist Blues, and in comparison, Parasite Eve loses. But after a few listens, ... read more
Elegant, playful, and sometimes dark, Trentemoller's first album always provides interesting sounds and atmospheres to get lost in. Quality minimal techno/house, and that bass is mesmerizing.
I felt curiosity for this album due to the creative music videos from Physical and Break My Heart, and kudos to them because I truly believe they are nice singles enhanced by fun and inventive videos, but there's too much filler in here to keep Future Nostalgia in much high regard.
A display of controlled chaos that's as beautiful as it is impressive. It is rock, it is prog, it has jazz and latin sounds, the vocals are out of this world... Wow.
I discovered this through a Jon Hopkins playlist and I am absolutely in love with its atmosphere. Beautiful and minimalistic piano melodies, surrounded by different electronic sounds and beats. Its "simplicity" reminds me of the Zelda Breath Of The Wild soundtrack in some moments.
Overall, a really good album. For some reason I was never too interested in their previous two, but Obsidian offers an interesting variety of styles (between goth metal and death-doom) and singing techniques with more than solid instrumentation. The way Nick Holmes flows between his clean voice and his growls is truly compelling, and the solos are just the final touch.
Favourites: Fall From Grace, Ghosts, Forsaken, Ravenghast.
Beautiful and hopeful, a perfect fit for this time of isolation.
Beautiful album, with such a distinct sound. And that ending, Pinocchio Story? Wow. Pure raw emotion.
Great album. What sets it apart from many albums of the time that were just copycats are Gerard Way's ability to create incredible melodies, sung or screamed, and the band's craftmanship.
I am unable to listen to just one song, every song is wonderfully meant to be in the context of the record, contributing to a whole mood of "I'm fucked up and angry, I need to headbang and sing my lungs out of these choruses".
I'm all for a 6 minute long single. Man the way it sounds, the way he sings it, the lyrics... God damn.
"Symphonic death metal". It is the first time I listen to this specific type of music, but damn I think I had a great introduction with Septicflesh. Anubis makes me shudder.
After a couple of listens I still feel like some parts totally rock, but I am still not sold on several transitions in the song. Some Nine Inch Nails, some disco, falsettos and ABBA... It doesn't feel like 9 minutes long, which is nice, but coming from Wilson I expected better transitions, and the lyrics are so bluntly obvious that I had to stop paying attention to them.
It's an interesting and unexpected mix, to say the least
Her hardcore fans may be pleased because the song sounds just like herself but for me, this sounds already dated and unispired. And what a horrendous music video.
Amazing. I've been listening to it for a month and some songs are still growing on me. The ambition, how memorable (almost) everything is.
Just one thing. Is it just me, or Jay Z part in Monster is incredibly mediocre, especially in comparison with the rest?
Spain may not be too famous for its rock bands, but one of the best and most versatile in the country is Havalina, a trio from Madrid.
Around 2010, Havalina had achieved some recognition with the catchy and sensual rock song "Incursiones", and with their next album, Las Hojas Secas (Dry Leaves) they decided then to speak about the struggle between desire and self love that comes when a relationship is over. Amplifying their stoner influences from Queens Of The Stone Age (The opener ... read more
A really good debut album from this psychedelic rock band from my own city, Seville. If you make it through the peculiar voice of the flamenco-influenced singer, you will get amazing songs such as Samrkanda, one of my favourites of the year.

On Bring Me The Horizon - POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR
"By the way, I have to give them credit for the way they incorporate other styles and artists in their songs here, especially in Kingslayer. There's a lot of ways it could have not worked, but they display such confidence in the mix of metal, pop and electronic music that they make it seem "easy". And it isn't. I am sure many bands have listened to Post Human and wish they could sound like that. "
On Bring Me The Horizon - POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR
"To be honest, I had forgotten about their previous EP, I didn't care much about it because it was, as you said, extremely experimental haha. Regarding Survival Horror, turns out that almost all the songs have grown on me, they are just so effective and it is great to see them tackle the current pandemic with them. Ludens was released a year ago and sounds too accurate "How do I form a connection when we can't even shake hands?". "

"For some reason I had only listened to some of Kanye's most famous songs, but never got into listening to his albums from start to finish until now. Wow. My first time has been with MBDTF, which has blown my mind beyond what I imagined, and now I am really curious about this album because it seems to be more divisive among fans. Let's see <3"
On aaron's review of Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare
"This album and the debut makes me wish I could play drums so much... Man the energy in this is still great.
I find your comment about AM-LP trajectory very interesting and accurate. Sadly, in my opinion Linkin Park's popularity kept decreasing after the A Thousand Suns era, while AM reached (maybe) even more people in 2013 with Do I Wanna Know and such.
PS: Duude I've been in love with Do Me A Favour since day one."
