King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Flight b741
78

Gizzard are back with a fun, bluesy, roots rock album and I'm all here for it. Sure, it's not pushing any boundaries, but it does what it sets out to do very well.

beabadoobee - This Is How Tomorrow Moves
81

Bea's latest album is utterly gorgeous Indie pop filled with beautiful vocals, gorgeous instrumentation and mature songwriting.

Indek - Yope
73

With elements of breakcore, progressive electronic, and plenty of other electronics subgenres I don't know the names of, Yope is a versatile and very creative project. There are some tracks that feel a little disconnected from the rest of the album (particularly Fink which sounds like a late-stage Kraftwerk track) but overall, I really enjoyed this little EP

Pixey - Million Dollar Baby
70

Whilst not without flaw, Pixey's debut is decent with some great potential shining through for future, more focused projects

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Field of Vision
78

Another good jam but the vocals just to buried

Beans - Boots N Cats
71

Groovy little motherfucker with a handful of great standout and some fun jams in between

Denzel Curry - King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2
79

This. isn't the genre I usually listen to, but I appreciated the unique vibe it brought. The beats were generally good, with a handful being superb. Curry's flow is great, his lyricism is solid, and most of the features are impressive. I'm glad I gave it a try!

JPEGMAFIA - I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU
90

First time experiencing a JPEGMAFIA album and I'm very impressed. Great flows, all-round good production, and plenty of versatility. Excited to hear more

Porter Robinson - SMILE! :D
80

A superb album to just chill to. Reflective lyrics, pretty laid-back but glitchy production.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced
90

Are You Experienced isn't just testament to Jimi Hendrix's guitar genius, but it also shines due to Mitch Mitchell's dynamic drumming and Noel Redding's solid bass lines. The album's experimental and raw production captures the spirit of the late 60s, while Hendrix's compelling vocals add emotional depth, making it a timeless masterpiece. There's more to this album than just guitars...

Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
88

My first full album experience from Bob Dylan.

Bob Dylan's distinctive voice can be an acquired taste, and some of the 12-bar blues tracks on Blonde On Blonde initially made it less engaging for me. This isn't necessarily Dylan's fault, but rather a reflection of how the 12-bar blues has become an overused trope since the 60s. However, the album's exceptional musicianship and, most notably, its poetic lyricism are undeniable. Dylan's ability to craft intricate, ... read more

I mean, it's an album that helped to build the hyperpop genre and mould what alt pop would and does sound like today

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
80

I think it's fair to argue that there are aspects of this album that haven't aged as well as some other 60s greats. With that said, it's still a great album and it's important to acknowledge the impact of had when it came out nearly 60 years ago. Great songwriting, amazing harmony work and some heartfelt lyricism.

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
80

You definitely have to wear a different sort of head to appreciate this music and I think it's going to take more listens (and a mono version of the album) to appreciate this more.

Stan Getz & João Gilberto - Getz/Gilberto
85

I find it hard to rate albums where I don't know the lyrics because I know for certain that I'm missing some part that could make or break the album, but the sheer vibe of this LP is undeniable. It's basically the musical equivalent of a really smooth latte. Just perfect to relax into.

Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
100

It's hard to digest how amazing this album is, and I reckon I'll still be saying that after 1000 listens. There's just so much to pick out and so much to savour. From the amazing choral pads of the brass sections, to the crazed solos throughout. The detail is impeccable and it's amazing how well this album stands the test of time.

The Police - Synchronicity
72

Whilst there are some superb standouts on this album (mainly found in the singles), there are a number of fillers and a couple of duds that stop this album from cementing itself as a classic

Bill Evans - Waltz for Debby
90

Handily one of the best-sounding live albums ever made. You are utterly transported back to a bar in 1962. It's smokey, people are eating and conversing, and in front of you, three men are playing some of the most soulful and beautiful jazz. Each one is on top of their game and they all play fully locked in with one another. Not one mistake, not one hesitation. Just masterful. And that's this album: masterful.

John Coltrane - My Favorite Things
92

This album is just vibes. Excellent musicianship, great composition. The tones that Coltrane's quartet manages to make really do transport you back to a smokey backroom. It's simply masterful.

John Coltrane - Giant Steps
90

What more can be said about this album that hasn't already been said. Masterful playing from every musician- you can tell each and every one of them dedicated everything to their craft, and the production is top notch for an album recorded in the late 50s. Truly a classic and a must listen.

"@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."
