Pinned Review
Arcade Fire are in a bit of a public relations crisis at the moment. I believe this is due to a number of reasons, the most obvious being the unsavoury allegations that came against frontman Win Butler shortly after the release of the album We. The sharp decline in quality also being another factor, it feels like the bands album quality took an nose dive off a cliff after the Reflektor album starting with Everything Now, I think on one hand this has led to people re evaluating the albums ... read more

After First Impression which I found to be completely unconvincing and Angles which was too tepid, I think the strokes come back in a big way on this album. burrowing down the rabbit hole even more into New Wave and Synth Rock sounds that were found on angles however I think to much more success
The first half of this album I find to be pretty great, Tap Out is a pretty fun and catchy song. One Way Trigger has really grown on me over the years when I first heard it many years ago I really did ... read more
I think for a lot of Kinks Fans this is either the album before their legendary run or the beginning of a great run for the Kinks however since I have not heard the albums what come after this I cannot comment on this however for what is here I think you will find a pretty enjoyable baroque psychedelic rock album with some great tracks in the mix.
I think the track-list on this album is pretty strong with some great tracks such as End Of the Season, Lazy Old sun,David Watts, Death of A Clown ... read more
Whilst not the weakest point in their discography at this time, that would be the entry before this, I do think this to be the most tepid entry in their discography at the time this came out.
I think First Impressions whilst not being a good album, makes sense in their context of their discography up to that point, coming off the back up a sophomore album than many people at the time felt failed to live up to the debut. The third album went bigger being longer than the first two album and tried ... read more
The strokes third album came after the now really well liked Room On Fire however as the time of that albums release a lot of critics found it to be a bit too similiar to the debut Is This it?. Whilst now I think myself and most founds love both of the first two albums since it wasn’t quite as well loved at the time, it left an interesting conundrum for the strokes on which direction they wanted to go with on their third album
The resulting decision was to make the album significantly ... read more
Definitely a guilty pleasure, I think the contrarian in me just loves the fact the song Spaceman misled people with the sound they thought they were getting when it originally came out l, almost reminds me of MGS 2.
The lyrics on this album are so overly edgy and 90s sounding, it’s so over the top I love it. I think the lyrics think they’re a lot more profound than they are in a distinctly 90s way and start to border on parody Nine a inch Nails that to me they’re hilarious ... read more
