mxmtoon - liminal space
74

Pretty sweet in all fairness - it's nothing special but still a nice listen!

jackzebra - 王中王 [King of Kings]
51

Do not get the appeal of this at all - sounds like lobotomy music

Flower Face - Girl Prometheus
86

Damn, who hurt her :(

Roy Blair - Chasing Moving Trains
84

A really strong, varied album from Roy Blair - the closing track is the real standout for me

Mount Eerie - Night Palace
84

Haunting and devastatingly emotional, but quite hit and miss as a whole album. There are some seriously incredible moments, but also some of Phil's most underwhelming and average moments for me personally. It could be better, but it's still really good.

The Cure - Songs of a Lost World
90

The longevity is insane - this album sounds just as good as they did in the past, but with a dark melancholic tone to it. It's hypnotic at times, and my only gripe is that the middle section feels ever so slightly same-y. Still a brilliant release though, and a great addition to a brilliant year of music

Magdalena Bay - Image (Grimes Special)
61

For what should, on paper, be pretty much a match made in heaven, this underwhelmed massively. It loses all the charm and character of the original, and instead just sounds pretty generic. Was really hoping for more :(

Tyler, The Creator - CHROMAKOPIA
76

I appreciate the ambition, and the album is really well refined, but unfortunately just like all of Tyler's previous works it just doesn't work for me - something in his music just doesn't click at all and I struggle to get into it. Perhaps it'll grow on me in the future, but on first listen it just isn't for me. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Opus Kink - 'Til The Stream Runs Dry
86

The horns on this are absolutely incredible, they make the album such an insanely fun listen - a really underrated gem of an album!

Closebye - Hammer of My Own
64

A pretty middle of the road release, with an atrocious album cover. I hate that baby.

Annie-Dog - Annie-Dog
75

Pretty decent with some good variety and plenty of potential

KNEECAP - Fine Art
89

I feel like a lot of this album relies on the listener - unless you're from a country that has suffered at the hands of the English, this album likely won't land anywhere near as well as it should. Kneecap invoke and play hard on the feeling of animosity held especially by Celtic nations towards their English neighbours, and do so in an incredibly impressive way with the seamless integration of Irish into their lyrics. The passion and basically hatred is unmatched here, and makes for ... read more

Gglum - The Garden Dream
70

Whilst it does showcase a good variety of sounds and some promising potential, ultimately The Garden Dream just doesn't do quite enough to win me over

Honeyglaze - Real Deal
74

As everyone else has mentioned, the English Teacher (and to an extent BCNR) influence is impossible to miss on this album. At times brilliant, it unfortunately falls quite stagnant towards the end and feels as it it will never end! Ultimately, this leaves the album as a bitter taste as you spend the latter half of the album just waiting, almost hoping, that it will end soon

Porridge Radio - Clouds In The Sky They Will Always Be There For Me
77

Emotionally heavy but quite repetitive at times, this does feel like Porridge Radios most complete and rounded album. However, I worry that without some development of their sound, this could end up becoming stale.

The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight (Sylvan Esso Remix)
68

It's decent, but consistently teases something that never really arrives and therefore ends pretty flat

Fit For An Autopsy - The Nothing That Is
81

A pretty brutal assault of an album

Soccer Mommy - Evergreen
76

It lost me at moments, but when it had my attention it was a pretty sweet album!

Amyl and the Sniffers - Cartoon Darkness
78

Reminiscent of the Chats with their outlandish, almost humourous approach to punk music, Amyl and the Sniffers drop a pretty enjoyable album. At times a bit too quirky, it definitely plays up to the title of 'Cartoon Darkness' - I just find that sometimes it tries too hard to stand out, with the music suffering as a result

Laura Marling - Patterns in Repeat
83

Beautiful, and utterly serene
