British Pop rock at its best. Amazing production, amazing performances. This is one of my all-time favourite albums and was an album that finished the best decade in music off with a bang
The Beatles end this era of their music on a high with one of the best folk-rock albums of all time
What an underrated album. They pushed the boundaries and changed the music landscape forever with the lead single, but the album tracks are just as good
It takes a few listens to really appreciate the mastery that is put into The Beatles' self-titled album. The sheer variety and quality on display is commendable and effective. There aren't many albums like them.
This is one of the only albums to stand the test of time this well. The ingenuity and creativity that made this album so amazing well over 50 years ago still makes this album incredible.
An effortless blend of Hip Hop and R&B resulting in one of the greatest hip hop albums ever recorded
Invisible Connections is perhaps the most experimental of Vangelis's discography, featuring extremely minimalist ambient music pushing deep space vibes and an overall vibe of slow sailing in an empty abyss. It's definitely not my go-to vibe but it's haunting in a way that I have to respect and Vangelis nails the vibe that he's going for on this Ambient/Soundscape album
A more laid back version of Vangelis is put forth in this album which takes a microscopic look at life and everything around us. Amazing production, superb sound and some really dynamic sections that remind me of Romantic Era classical music.
Sure, this isn't classic Vangelis but it's still bloody good
One of the best progressive pop experiences of the 1970s... and that's saying something
Queen's second album from 1974 isn't quite as exceptional as Queen II but my God, is it still exquisite. After all, this is the album that put Queen onto the mainstream map
Clearly a very talented artist but she just has a sound that doesn't quite gel with me.
He may be a psychopath but Phil Spector knew how to make a banging Xmas album.
BLIK is Árstíðir's most contemporary album with every song in English and a poppier vibe compared to some of their earlier material. As always, the production is superb, the vocals are delicate and intricate and the instrumentals are lovely but that poppy vibe is just a little to Eurovision for my liking. Still a beautiful album
A fun and interesting range of stoner, doom and progressive rock/metal on display. There's a lot of slow chugging paired with surprisingly soft vocals but there's also a fair share of super groovy riffage here.
Perhaps not as strong as the later follow-up, Jaguar is still a superb R&B record. With themes that aren't quite as expansive as other titles, it is hyperfocused on the sensual side of human nature and it carries that vibe very strongly. Smooth vocals, instrumentation and production. A strong album and I'm glad it saw a sequel to help extend its short runtime.
RAYE's debut LP discusses climate, drugs, sex, sexism, music and love all in the span of 47 minutes. The vocals and lyrics are equally strong showing virtuosity and versatility. All this is backed by extremely well mixed and well-performed instrumentation. What a brilliant record.
Lil Yachty's 2023 album is definitely a rebirth of some sort. In this album, he explores psychedelic music with clear influences from the likes of Pink Floyd.
The instrumentation is exceptional, the production is amazing and the featured artists are great. In fact the only "okay" part of this album is Yachty himself.
Vocal performances are robotic in a way that's perfectly acceptable on most tracks but annoying on others, relying heavily on single note melodies and autotuned ... read more
Up there with some of my favourite noise rock/no wave albums of all time. It's noisy as fuck, dissonant and somehow thought provoking at moments. This album isn't afraid to pick you up, take you on a rollercoaster and spit you out on the other end wondering what the hell you just experienced.
Gallus' debut LP is a strong start for a band that have been releasing music for years but have never committed to an album before. There are some elements of genuinely unique greatness.
The vocals are probably the strongest part of the package with Barry's unique vocal timbre driving every track.
Some areas feel a little derivative or generic with the same chord sequences we've been hearing from radio-friendly rock bands for decades but overall, this was a great 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."
