Weirdly wonderful. Under The Rug's "Homesick for Another World" is an album I would describe as 'experimental indie folk rock'. I realise that is a strange description for a record, but in fairness, this is a bizarre record in general. The song structure here is typical of average folk acoustic guitar chord progressions, accompanied by a piano and drums, but the singing and lyrism are interchangeable between pop rock and indie rock themes. The album then tends to add a ... read more

The perfect ending to the great band. The Beatles “Abbey Road” is a record where I really struggle to find a flaw with every song here having that Beatles Charm that just makes you smile. Side A of the record features hit after hit written by each of the Fab 4 then finishes on John Lennon “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” which is an extremely heavy song tone. The abrupt ending to the song and side of the record raises so many questions with what could possibly follow ... read more

I can't seem to get this album out of my head. The Electric Light Orchestra's "Eldorado" is a musical theatre rock fusion masterpiece that combines the absolute best of both genres. In doing so, you get beautiful and powerful instrumentals that throw you back and forth in what is an extremely joyful ride. This is accompanied by one of the greatest vocal performances I have ever heard throughout an entire record. The way Jeff Lynne uses his voice is so emotional and brings a ... read more

Starts great, finishes good, with mixed feelings along the way. Tyler, The Creator's "Flower Boy" is an experimental rap record that excels in many tracks, but struggles to find its ground in a few others. The album starts with a bright, warm and spacey tone that was much enjoyed, but then drastically transitions into a darker and more anxious character for the majority of the rest of the record. I found this change in mood to be for the worse, as the warmer and spacier songs ... read more

Brilliantly creative, but still not among the brilliant. Miracle Musical's "Hawaii: Part II" is a really well-crafted record with a beautiful yet hidden story where you learn more upon each re-listen. The issue is just that, the relistens. Though this record's mix of genres is a shock when first listened to, the more you listen, the more some begin to become flawed. Half the record remains extremely strong even after plenty of listens, but is let down by a few songs that, on ... read more

Conflictingly brilliant and frustrating. Queen's "A Day At The Races" is an album that leaves me adding so many songs to my playlist, while also being frustrated by the record itself, making it a hard record to review. At least that's how I felt originally. The songs are generally quite great here and very enjoyable. I often find myself returning to many of the songs here, and they remain some of my favourite songs the band has done. The issue comes from the track listing, ... read more

You'll need to Hold On Tight in this journey through "Time", ELO's concept album from the brillance of Jeff Lynne that doesn't fail in making you feel like you're in the future. Even over 40 years after it's initial release, this albums atmosphere and futuristic sound of being a trip to the year 2095 still holds up like nothing you've heard before. With that being said, this album does have a problem with feeling very disconected at times and after doing ... read more

This is the most advanced version of this song, which pays tribute to not only the original artist, Chuck Berry, but also gives a major salute to Beethoven himself. 10/10

I cooked on this one, trust🙏

Sweet is the night when this record is here. ELO's "Out of the Blue" is a masterful album that uses the skeleton of the classic rock and rock anthem genres and then greatly applies the skin of sci-fi and classical tropes alike to create an experience far beyond what most albums can present a listener. These technical musical skills are accompanied by beautiful masterfully written lyrics that make each song a real joy to listen and jam along with. The levels of artistic skill not ... read more

Another Beatles masterpiece. Though some of the numbers here aren't the Beatle's brilliant best, there is no denying that even the weaker tracks on this album are still great songs. But that's not to say there are no masterpieces on this album, as there is plenty. The number of songs that just made me smile when listening made this album for me. Songs such as "I Me Mine", "Two of Us" and "Let It Be" continue to amaze me even after all these years. ... read more

This album makes me happy. Jet's enthusiastic album "Get Born" is an exciting joy to listen to. The good ol' rock sound keeps the album exciting and kept me really entertained the whole way through. Throughout almost the entire thing I had a big smile on my face just loving the sound this album brings. The band is really exciting with some really fun phrases throughout, the singer's voice is just excellent and fits the music amazingly and the lyrics are just so incredible especially ... read more

Pop at its very best. The Buggles "The Age of Plastic" proves that there is not only good but excellence in every genre of music. The only band I currently listen to close to this music style is Jeff Lyne's ELO, so I'm not a big fan of synthpop, but "The Plastic Age" puts that to rest. The clever songwriting makes this album such a special listen. I also especially love the instrumental arrangements that this album shows throughout every song, it really feels like an album ... read more

Another Bob Seger classic. Against the Wind was Segers's next album after the highly successful "Stranger In Town" and once again he does not disappoint. This album had quite a few more slower songs to his last and he does them just as well, proving (to me at least) that this man is no one trick pony. The beautiful and/or rock and roll sound of each song compliments Seger's voice so well creating a real joy to listen to. This album really surprised me with how great of ... read more

Absolutely outstanding. Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3 has blown me away. The album returns to 1950s Rock & Roll mixed with some country and modern techniques (for the time) and I must say that it sounds bloody brilliant. All 4 stars of this supergroup come out in style and show off their strengths as both solo artists and as a group. I'm constantly feeling the vibe of each of their own music backgrounds while also staying fresh and unique to the group and I just love it. Absolute banger of an ... read more

We certainly enjoyed the show. By this point in time, The Beatles were already known for revolutionising music and pushing it forward with previous albums Help!, Rubber Soul and most especially Revolver. Little did everyone in 1967 know that they were about to make the biggest progression in Music ever. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is nothing short of an absolute masterpiece that continues to age like fine wine even 56 years after it was first released. Each song contains so much new ... read more

Just mid. Saviours starts very strong with its opening 3 being excellent rock and roll but as soon as we get to "One Eyed Bastard" this album falls off a cliff. Besides a few songs the album is either completely mid, terrible or just ripping off other artists. The fun rock and roll vibe just becomes boring and repetitive as the album attempts to recapture what they did in Dookie and American Idiot, but falls so far short of having any creativity with the music and instead just is the ... read more

WOW. This album does NOT miss. Polish Club blew me away (along with my roof) with this album. I absolutely adore the sound of this Indie Hard Rock band making more catchier tunes and let me tell you that every song does not disappoint. I always find myself crawling back to this album but the best part is that it's not always the same songs. On first listen I fell in love with Clarity and Breakapart whereas more recently I've been loving Iguana and Time Crisis. Also, Sun is one of if ... read more
