Forever, Howlong down to third best Black Country, New Road album of the year

Hesse Kassel - La Brea
85

Pais negro, nuevo camino. Fuego.

The Voidz - Like All Before You
55

Sadly this is one to avoidz

Roger Waters - The Dark Side of the Moon Redux
70

It should go without saying that this doesn't hold a candle to the original but it doesn't tarnish or look to replace it either.
Its an ego trip, but an interesting one that changes enough for me to enjoy it in its own right.

Richard Dawson - The Ruby Cord
85

Richard Dawson's ability to build worlds and characters through song writing and performance is unparalleled and this album is no exception. The best conclusion to a trilogy since The Return of The King.

edit: After some reflection, this is more The Dark Knight Rises. Bigger, bolder but not quite as good.

Black Eyed Peas - ELEVATION
10

When the truly awful opening track told me it won't get better than this, I should have listened

Gilla Band - Most Normal
75

I liked this but I'm not sure I enjoyed it

Jockstrap - I Love You Jennifer B
75

As interesting as the album art isn't

Foals - Life Is Yours
60

Foals are having a mare

Let's Eat Grandma - Two Ribbons
50

Grandma needs more seasoning

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Unlimited Love
50

Red hot like a strawberry milkshake

Crows - Beware Believers
75

Really solid follow up to their really solid debut; if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Nigo - I Know NIGO!
60

Every feature except novelty

Nilüfer Yanya - PAINLESS
70

This really is a great song but it was a bold move to play it twelve times in a row and call it an album.

Bloodywood - Rakshak
75

All I've ever wanted from an Indian Rap Metal Album

Beach House - Once Twice Melody
70

Sounds lovely but I've had more exciting naps.

Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up There
100

I was so underwhelmed by Black Midi's "evolution" but this similar change in direction deserves every drop of praise.

deathcrash - Return
60

This is fantastic... and very boring.

"@Pmarf46 I really need to revisit that Friko album, I think it came out when I was travelling and only listened to it through the speakers of a rented Jeep. La Brea wears it's influences on it's sleeve and I don't speak enough Spanish to get much from the lyrics but I loved it regardless."
