Was a huge Beths fan a few years ago, but got busy with other music since then and was excited to hear some new stuff. This contains all their signature quirks, and it definitely has some excellent songs, but feels rather slight compared to some of their other records. Honestly could have been B-sides from their last album. Still nobody doing it like them though!
I honestly don't know why I keep trying with Earl, he's never been my thing and continues to not be
Mac! I was rooting for you to make something that was better than a 6/10! Why can't you make a 7! It's been years!
EDIT: lmao

Hard to rate this one. It’s technically quite good and in a genre I typically like, but there’s something about this that just doesn’t click for me
The Once soundtrack is in my top 5 favourite albums of all time and I've been following pretty much everything Glen and Markéta have done since. This is very different from what they've done in the past - they've tapped into a softer, slower, more instrumentally-dense sound that reflects how they've matured as artists. Admittedly, I miss the energy they brought to their songwriting earlier in their careers, but this is still a gorgeous record. Pretty Stories might be ... read more
Not sure how I'm feeling about this one on first listen, but it's nice to hear Clipse back! Pharrell's beats are the best they've been in a while too
