My favourite album of 2006. It's a floorless disco display that's so camp it may as well be called Bear Grylls.

There's not a single dull moment with some of the best pop songs that the mid-2000s had to offer as well as some amazing quieter tracks.

It really is a shame that more people aren't aquainted with this album because it's absolutely superb.

Maruja's 2nd EP truly cements them as one the UKs most exciting independent bands.

With a sound very similar to Knocknarea, Connla's Well is a furious but also beautiful and atmospheric art punk experience. Poetic vocals both in terms of lyricism and delivery, spacious rthymn instrumentation and powering drums. The saxophone screams in a way that you rarely hear in punk. Maruja's sound is as new as it is exciting and they reinforce that here.

Live Through This is a relentless, grunge-fest in the best way.

I Got Heaven is an album of two minds. It's mostly really solid, fuzzy Indie Rock with a bouncing chorus. It's fun and melodic. And then you get absolutely smashed in the face by a brutal burst of hardcore punk complete with frenetic drums, blasting guitars and visceral screams.

I'm not sure if I'm the biggest fan of this disjointed nature but the musicianship on display is not deniable

Pretty EDM/DnB.

Sparce rhythms and leads make a really nice bed that's just comforting. Like zooming through the silence of space at light speed

Yes, I'm going to be one of those other folks to compare this album to Mastodon but I mean it in the best way. They definitely have their own style, especially in the harsh vocals, which I really enjoy. The more atmospheric/clean sections are also really well done. Dvne really know when to leave space and when to absolutely smash you in the face. It's megalithic in dynamic scale and well worth a listen for any prog metal fan

Unfortunately, it's 27 minutes of mostly nothing burgers.
It could and should've just been longer. Songs build into nothing, creating anticipation with no release. Some tracks kind of feel muddled with instrumentation clashing quite a bit.

There are some good tracks here but not enough to save this album from mediocrity.

Somewhat controversially, Evermore is my favourite of TS's 2020 releases. It's a bit more indie-folk, with a fantastic narrative underlying the album. The features are also absolutely beautiful. Maybe we need another major world event so she can write something good again.

Taylor Swift's iconic 2020 departure from radio-friendly pop to folk/singer-songwriter proves that she is a versatile songwriter capable of making absolutely gorgeous music with amazing production. It's bittersweet, self-aware, melancholic and beautiful.

I told myself I'd wait until I receive the CD before listening but here we are...

Vennart is an old dog in the world of progressive rock at this point in his 20+ year career, but that doesn't mean he can't produce and album that's fresh-sounding and expansive. Over its 8 tracks and 42 minutes, Forgiveness & The Grain brings the listener on a journey with massive, fuzzed-filled progressive rock paired with soaring vocals all the way down to smaller sounding shoegaze tracks. It's ... read more

It's probably weird to say that an artist with over 300k monthly listeners needs more recognition, but albums like Who Are You Know kind of prove that. The quality of musicianship on display is absolutely with a singer-songwriter/neo-soul vibe that's just superb. That paired with the amazing musicianship makes for an album that should be a classic but somehow sits in the "cult appeal" zone.

This is the exact flavour of songer-songwriter/neo-soul that I love. It's versatile, dynamic, well performed and produced - it's pretty much the full package. Quieter songs are heartfelt, whilst the funkier songs are bright and catchy.

A nice k-pop EP with some good variety and a really positive vibe. They do a really good job of combining styles to create some unique beds and whilst some tracks feel a little safe, it's a good time overall

The first half of this album is trash. There's not much else that can be said about that that I and others haven't said. Boring & lifeless with terrible lyricism.

The second disc does have some of that. In fact, some of the worst lines in this project come from this disc. However, there is some great material here to. It's reminiscent of Folklore & Evermore but with slightly popper production that often works and sometimes really doesn't. Instrumentation is simple but effective and ... read more

An impressively crushing display of punk-driven sludge metal. It's extremely engaging, suprising versatile and its short runtime makes means it never gets dull. Well worth exploring for fans of the more extreme side of punk.

Bongripper are a name that I have become familiar with over the past couple of years but this is the first full release I've listened to. What I received was exactly what I expected: A fuzzy, noisy, droning, sludgy metal experience that paints a pretty damning view of life. If existential crisis were music. It's a superb listen for any doom/sludge/drone metal fans.

I honestly think that staring at a magnolia wall for a hour would have been for engagement than this drag of an album. There's a fine line between easy-listening and boring, and this is fucking boring.

The songs are repetitive, with choruses just merging into one generic synthpop soup. The themes are just boring and some lyrics are cringe worthy.

The production is fine in most places but it's also very grating in others, especially in her mid-ass Collab with Florence.

It's just a very mid ... read more

A nice and light one from Pom Poko. It's definitely an interesting pick for a single because it doesn't stand out too much but it's definitely a pleasant vibe and the mix is super clean

Truly a masterpiece

Eh. Just really difficult to pay attention to
