Andrew Huang - Labyrinth
71

A pretty fun and atmospheric IDM EP.

TURQUOISEDEATH - Kaleidoscope
85

TURQUOISEDEATH has this special ability to make a 50-minute album fly by. It's super versatile with some beautiful atmospheric elements and some that punch you square in the jaw. It's a different vibe to their previous album, but I still really dig it.

Charli xcx - Vroom Vroom
83

SOPHIE and Charli really were a dream team

Cynthoni - SMOKE IT TO THE BUTT
70

A bit less atmospheric than previous EPs. Pretty good as well. I just want them to release something a bit more substantial to truly blow me away, because they have the potential to do just that.

KSI - Thick of It / Low
15

☹️☹️☹️

clust.r - ever chance
64

One of the most mixed bags I think I have ever heard. There's some truly interesting stuff here, and then there's stuff that sounds truly terrible. Overall, I'm glad I gave this a shot, and there are tracks that I will 100% listen to again.

Alvvays - Antisocialites
81

Compositionally, the music of "Antisocialites" is fairly straightforward, but there's something incredibly infectious about it, be it the catchy melodies, or the DIY sound, it's a super fun listen with plenty of earworms.

Geordie Greep - The New Sound
100

As someone who is a big fan of Black Midi’s output, I was very much looking forward to “The New Sound”. What I wasn’t expecting was the best Black Midi-related output I have ever heard. Song after song, I just sat there stunned by what I was hearing. From the Bossa Nova vibes of “Terra”, to Shank’s vocal debut on “Motorbike”, to the absolutely breathtaking “The Magician”, Greep hasn’t left much room to grow, because to me, ... read more

Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere
86

Absolutely amazing. It's difficult to put into words the experience of "Absolute Elsewhere" as it pulls you from pillar to post, exposing the listener to very good prog death metal with smatterings of early progressive electronic (thanks to Tangerine Dream) and Floyd-esque psychedelic rock. This is a must-listen.

Don Blackman - Don Blackman
74

Funky and quite creative.

Kero Kero Bonito - Bonito Generation
85

KKB's flavour of electropop is just so addictive. It's the music equivalent of jelly beans.

77

A very varied album with elements of Indie rock, noise pop, slacker rock, neo-psychedelia and much more. I complained that their EP last year wasn't quite substantive enough, but this LP is making me consider giving this band a deep dive. It's pretty great.

Wig Wam - Non Stop Rock'n'Roll
75

Wig Wam do exactly as the album promises and provide you with 42 minutes of non-stop 80s-tinged hard rock goodness. Taking inspiration from bands like Motley Crew, Def Leppard, Van Halen, Queen, and many more, it's a throwback album that doesn't fail to put a smile on your face.

David Bowie - Low
92

There’s something utterly otherworldly about “Low” that boggles the mind. The first side, with its art rock instrumentation and drum sounds, feels anachronistic, as if it belongs in 1987 rather than its actual release year. The second side, however, is a beautiful exploration of ambient music, which makes Bowie a true pioneer of the genre. While “Low” may not be packed with pop hits, it has left a lasting impression that many of his “greatest hits” have ... read more

Sungazer - Against the Fall of Night
82

"Against the Fall of Night" is best described as a Jazz Fusion album from the 22nd century.

The duo has seamlessly integrated their signature elements with an incredible collaborative energy that permeates almost every track. The album showcases consistent excellence in bass and drum performances, while each of the nine tracks sparkles with unique individualism, making it a truly enchanting listen.

As with most of Sungazer’s work, these tracks are likely to shine even ... read more

Black Sabbath - Paranoid
88

Even when you don't take into account the cultural significance of one of metal's most influential albums, "Paranoid" is an extremely good album with songs that stand the test of time both musically and lyrically.

Rainbow - Rising
89

Absolutely amazing hard rock/heavy metal with some progressive rock elements. Amazing production, amazing performances. For whatever reason, I didn't expect it to be this good.

Bruce Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town
83

Simply put, "Darkness on the Edge of Town" is a really good rock album that's as accessible as it is good.

Pink Floyd - Animals
98

More like Prog Floyd. Amiright?

HOA - I Don't Know Why
72

Lovely early-60s pop rock vibes in this EP.

"@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."
