Clearly Epic's debut is a fun, head-bopping instrumental synthpop wonder, with some really fun grooves throughout its short-but-sweet duration. With highlights such as "Hive Talkin' ", "Into The Breach" (with guitarist Brian Bigler", and "Imposter Syndrome", it's well worth your time if you're looking for some instrumental electronica to accompany your day-to-day.
Honestly, with the quality of songs in this Everasking Edition, I kind of wish it was given a proper release as an EP. I truly think a lot of the additional songs are the strongest tracks on the entire album, with “Coma”, and remixes of “Butterfly Net”, “I Believe” being the highlights here.
An interesting mixture of hardcore punk with a metal tinge. Vocals aren't to my taste. He sounds like the Caveman from Tubular Bells.
Never heard of Blackgaze before, but this is a super interesting vibe. I think the spoken word get buried a bit too much in the third track, but it's a great concept.
Whilst it is essentially a given that the best track on this album is "Wild World", there's still plenty to take away from "Tea For The Tillerman", from it's beautiful arrangements, to its heartfelt and sometimes angsty lyrics.
Incredibly creative and powerful both lyrically and instrumentally. Some of the rhythms are absolutely crazy and yet it all works really well.
Absolutely beautiful singer-songwriter with some big chamber folk vibes. It's a very personal sound with some beautifully raw production and droning songwriting.
Super well-produced synth pop with some really high peaks. It just sounds really good and clean without sounding overproduced. Not as good as later MB efforts but still great.
Lauren's first album hasn't had the easiest release, with a very drawn-out rollout of singles after being dropped by her producer mid-album.
However, what we have ended up with is a worthwhile album that allows Mayberry to produce a more personal work than anything she could put out with CHVRCHES. Especially in tracks like "Oh, Mother," we see a side of her songwriting that was yet to be explored. Tracks like "Shame" and "Punch Drunk" also stand out ... read more
This album is like one of those shop-bought cheese sandwiches that you can get as part of a meal deal. It's alright, but you wouldn't actively go out of your way to have it.
Not as strong as his debut from earlier this year but still fun.
An absolutely brutal EP. Truly the heaviest metalcore album I have ever listened to. What an experience.
As someone that has not listened to any afrobeats aside from hearing the odd track in the back of an Uber, the conciseness of HEIS attracted me. However, after listening, it is one of its biggest downsides. Not every track is a banger, but songs that do slap are too concise to full appreciate. "HEHEHE" and "OZEBA" really stood out to me but once the track finished, I was left a bit unsatisfied.
Still, I'm glad I listened to this album because it exposed me to a genre ... read more
As someone that views Hip Hop mostly from the sidelines, I've really not paid much attention to the recent diss tracks that have come from Kendrick's direction.
With that said, I understand what people say when they call this album a victory lap of sorts. He really shows how versatile he is as a rapper pulling from all different styles whilst staying wholly true to his LA roots and it reminds me that I really need to do a deep dive into his discography.
The Australian supergroup's first LP isn't a release without its flaws with its decent share of super average tracks, muddy production and some dud vocals. With that said, there are some standouts, especially towards the end of this album that are worth exploring. In particular, "Cold" is a standout track for anyone that wants some really spaced out psychedelic music.
I'm afraid to say I'm a little bit disappointed by this album. After a very strong start with some really cool vibes that remind me of early surf rock like The Beach Boys, and some more psychedelic rock like The Zombies (especially with the melotron), the album kind of fades away, with a bunch of nothing burgers for the last half of the album that are either just fine or are too short to really do anything for me. It's still got a few tracks I will revisit, but I'm left ... read more
Both a bit campy but rocky at the same time, Fire of Unknown Origin features some super hooky riffs, very strong lyrical content and is overall a very strong release that's well worth a listen if you dig the more theatrical side of hard rock

"@hypermusic73 I never said it's an issue, it's just very safe for them, and it's the only thing that makes the song not just incredibly generic. Unlike AHIYH, there's nothing else that makes this song stand out to the. AHIYH has some great harsher vocals, a catchy riff, and a cool build up. For me, this song hasn't got any of that."
