Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
88

Stunning, not huge on Have a Cigar, but it is still brilliant regardless

Björk - Vespertine
85

A really solid Bjork album, who would have guessed it?

David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
83

A brilliant way to introduce someone to the world of Bowie

David Bowie - ★ [Blackstar]
88

Just beautiful, that's all that needs to be said

Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind
47

Snoozefest. Did very little for me and left me begging for the album to end. 2 ½ hrs of my life that I'll never get back

Stromae - Multitude
70

A conflicting release, this album was enjoyable enough whilst listening to it but there was a constant desire for it to end, and no want to return to it afterwards. Perhaps on a future listen it will rebound and captivate me more, but for now it is little more than nice sounding noise

Obongjayar - Some Nights I Dream of Doors
84

A really solid release - beautiful sounds that mirror Obongjayars unique vocals brilliantly

Squid - Bright Green Field
74

Honestly this didn't really captivate me until the final few tracks - I expected big things given the reviews and it fell short. Still a promising release, but not as good as expected sadly

Fat White Family - Serfs Up!
76

Good fun, but lacking in many aspects. At times forgettable, but overall it isn't too shabby. Worth a listen to find some tracks that'll stick with you

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
93

I'll admit was a little pessimistic coming into this - I recognised the album cover in a charity shop by chance and decided to look up the album and give it a listen. This album is almost unfairly good at times, mind-blowingly addictive and utterly captivating in ways that few albums ever have achieved - it is a pure piece of art that should be listened to by everybody at least once. It doesn't quite reach the 100 many feel it deserves due to some slightly unnecessary 'quiet zones' where very ... read more

C'mon Tigre - Scenario
84

A beautiful amalgamation of sounds - utterly captivating and a brilliant listen. Check it out!

The White Stripes - Icky Thump
81

A really strong end to the White Stripes discography - some tracks here are absolutely stellar and even the weaker tracks are still pretty decent. The title track absolutely deserves the 99 rating it currently has!

Gorillaz & Space Monkeyz - Laika Come Home
76

Give the monkeys some credit, this isn't too bad!

This is going to sound weird, but the best thing to do with this album is not to listen to it. Put it on and let it play in the background, and within the dub beats you'll pick up on the occasional snippet of a Gorillaz track, piquing your interest before zoning back out to whatever you were doing. I find this album perfect as background noise - and that is meant in the best way possible. It doesn't do anything exciting and the beats are ... read more

Gorillaz - Cracker Island
87

God damn it slaps. Damon is on one with this

Daffodils - Stay The Night
84

Daffodils are back with yet another strong EP, again producing unique sounds that instantly place their tracks as one of their own. This solidifies them as one of my favourite things to come out of NZ, and I look forward to a full-length album if it comes!

The White Stripes - White Blood Cells
77

It's good, but not as mindblowing as I hoped. Fell In Love With a Girl is an absolute banger of a track though

Jack White - Fear of the Dawn
73

It sounds almost exactly as you would expect an album from Jack to sound - and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. The track with Q-Tip stood out as a bit more unique, and I really enjoyed the closing track, but overall it was nothing spectacular, just good. Worth checking out, but it won't blow you away.

OG Keemo - Mann Beisst Hund
76

This probably deserves to be higher, but as I don't speak German the lyrics are completely lost on me. It does have a really strong sound though, coupled with good production and an engaging voice - making this an enjoyable listen even when you have no clue what is being said.

Adwaith - Melyn
76

Ddim yn siwr os ydw i'n hoffi'r Saesneg wedi'i dotio o le i le yn yr albwm, ond ar y cyfan mae'n albwm Cymraeg weddol cryf. Mae na cwpl o draciau gwan, a rhai sy'n sefyll allan yn gryfach hefyd, ond ar y cyfan mae'r traciau yn eitha solid. Mae'n teimlo ar adegau bod na diffyg cyfeiriad - mae'n anodd gweld beth mae'r albwm yn cesio bod, mae'r swn yn newid lot a does dim lot o cysondeb i'w glywed. Ar y cyfan, mae'n albwm weddol dda, ond sai'n siwr os byddaf yn dod yn ol i wrando eto yn y dyfodol. ... read more

Ibibio Sound Machine - Electricity
72

Funky and groovy, but doesn't really hit the heights you would hope. It's solid enough, but not really spectacular.
