Blood Lust is somewhere in between Black Sabbath and Queens of the Stone Age with a heavy dose of psych-rock. The unmistakable band name caught my attention immediately, and the heavy riffs kept me invested throughout.
Its biggest strength, and perhaps biggest limitation, lies within its simplicity. There are really no points where this album doesn't sound like the coolest heaviest rock you've ever heard, but it also never really surprises.

This is undeniably insane and incredibly exciting. Everyone who claims jazz "isn't for them" is a fucking idiot, including myself from about an hour ago.

"Inspired by LCD Soundsystem"

I don't know what version of the band Harry's been listening to because I wish this was even half as interesting and dancable as LCD Soundsystem.
Reminds me of what Tame Impala did last year. How End of Summer was a serviceable but ultimately pointless House song that didn't understand the genre it was pulling from.
Whatever Harry tried to do here didn't completely work. It isn't awful, but he has put out better stuff.

A truly tragic album with dark poetic lyricism and a captivating instrumental palette. Happy 10th birthday to this amazing album, and R.I.P. to David Bowie, an absolute rock legend.

This is probably the messiest Jagatara album. Clocking in at 50 minutes, for Jagatara a monstrous length, Sorekara offers a wide pallete of Jazzy Funk Rock. The first three tracks are the true standouts here, with special mention to the last few minutes of Middle Class Harlem and Hey Say!

I know everyone has already pointed this out but Discipline is literally just Robert Fripp deciding to make a Talking Heads album.

My third DDS album and this album still surprised and baffled me beyond belief. One of the weirdest albums I've listened to in a while. Could see this growing on me massively.

SUPER STAR is straight cocaine. I love the more jazzy elements on this thing compared to their previous albums.

SUPER STAR? - 95

If the first track doesn't warm your heart it might remain cold forever.

Generational voice. Sinnerman might be the best way to end an album.

Very reminiscent of it's era. Made during the peak of the first wave of Dance-Punk. Very Gang of Four, very Talking Heads and very, very No Wave. There are elements of what's to come, but what's here is still some great raw and noisy punk.

More great funky dance-punk from Jagatara. Track 2 is the standout here and on the same level as the quality from The Naked King. The last track does overstay it's welcome a lot though.

Lived up to the hype. The potential on display here is insane, keeping my eyes on this guy for the coming years. The two big tracks here are truly generational.

None of those first seven tracks can prepare you for the absolute insanity that the last track holds. I literally cannot comprehend how a 19 year old from the 60s could make something that bold and put it at the end of a tracklist of tender break-up songs.

Such a consistent feel good listen. The highs on this are actually insanely high. I can't even point out a favourite here, it's too good across the entire length for me to point out just one moment. Must listen.

Didn't check this out for the longest time due to the length of this album. However with the tragic recent passing of D'Angelo I've gained renewed interest in Voodoo. And damn, what a smooth, funky and incredibly consistent album. And when the album has already been sizzlin' for over an hour D'Angelo hits you with How Does It Feel, which might as well be one of the best Soul songs I've ever heard. A long listen that's worth it till the end.

Michael Jackson just can't resist the urge to ruin his album full of funky disco bops with boring Soul cuts.

Has that infectious one hit wonder in Messages from the Stars and manages to keep that momentum going for an entire tracklist with no skips. Perhaps gets a bit samey near the end, but even then it's still an absolute vibe.

Absolutely blown away.

3D Country was my album of the year in 2023 and Geese immediately became one of my favorite contemporary rock bands. I really thought the band would stay quiet after Cameron Winter's great solo album last year. Geese, however, had other plans and teamed up with Kenny Beats to create this album in what felt like record time.

My expectations were mixed. I loved Taxes and thought the other singles sounded great, but I really didn't think this would live up to 3D ... read more
