A pleasant surprise after a lengthy absence and shaky singles rollout, Wolf Alice have made a spectacular third album that adds a simple but effective concept to their already varied and ambitious approach from their last two albums. While I would struggle to actually rank their albums they are definitely still on an upward trend and now cementing themselves as one of the biggest and best British bands around.
Best Tracks: Delicious Things, Lipstick on the Glass, How Can I Make It OK?, Play The ... read more
lots of cool ideas on this with a beautiful atmosphere encompassing the album, memorable lyrics is an area that could be improved but not an issue for the stronger tracks as the music is enough to keep me interested.
Best Tracks: Superbike, Nighttime Drive, Anak Ko, Crown, Get Well
Worst Track: Devotion
MBV MBV MBV
Best Tracks: PS Exclusive, Let's Get Out, Juno, The Leanover, Phillip, Envoys, New Town, Sorrow
Worst Track: Young Offenders
Not as immediate as their debut but already grown on me considerably and i think it will continue to do so. While i think they maybe lost a bit of tightness that the debut had i think it was necessary to create this grandiose jazz-rock experience that is Cavalcade.
Best Tracks: John L, Chondromalcia Patella, Slow, Diamond Stuff, Dethroned, Ascending Forth
Worst Track: Hogwash and Balderdash
All a bit lowkey but when these talented artists allow some intriguing ideas to develop there's some good songs in here.
Best Tracks: Stay In The Car, Anything At All, Moon, Sick Of Spiralling, Aurora
Worst Track: Sand Angel
Although kinda cheesy rock like this usually isn't my thing, this album has so much heart and the sincerity makes it much easier for me to enjoy and the lyrical content makes it more interesting as well, really important album.
Best Tracks: Transgender Dysphoria Blues, True Trans Soul Rebel, Osama bin Laden as the Crucified Christ, FUCKMYLIFE666, Paralytic States, Black Me Out
Worst Track: Dead Friend
One of the most ambitious yet consistent debut albums i have heard, i don't have much to say about this thats not already been said but this album is special.
