The Boys of Dungeon Lane shows McCartney's songwriting has aged gracefully, but it's a bit too long.

It demands attention, but when you give it that attention it's a pretty rewarding listen.

Inferno marks the end of a 13 year silence for BoC since they released Tomorrow's Harvest. That album stripped away the traditional euphoria of earlier BoC albums and instead replaced it with tension and ominous drones. It also disclaimed a lot of warnings regarding humanity and the world that we live in.

Inferno feels like the aftermath of those warnings being ignored. The dystopian ... read more

Even when Freddie Gibbs isn't putting his all into his work, it still turns out pretty decent.

A short but snappy 8-minute EP consisting of 3 tracks, the first 2 of which have fairly skeletal instrumentals which allow Freddie to exercise his trademark flow nicely. However there is no clever wordplay or anything to make these tracks stand out in any way which makes sense as to why they're appearing on this EP as opposed to whatever album he drops next.

The most interesting track out ... read more

Where their debut was more explosive and instantaneous in sound, Evil Empire shows more nuance and control from RATM. Doing this allowed them to cut deeper than ever into the political veins of a post-Cold War, pre-9/11 America. They showed no mercy, stripping back the noise in their music to allow Zack de la Rocha to express his most cynical commentaries on ruling power ever. On self-titled, it sounded like the band wanted to make music that would appeal to the masses sonically, but on their ... read more

If music that is "experimental" is defined by unfinished monotonous ideas, then Peggy truly has hit the nail on the head with 'Experimental Rap'.

ICEMAN finally releases after a long, but honestly pretty unique rollout. The melting ice cube and the little teaser episodes genuinely had me curious as to whether Drake would finally release a strong solo album for the first time in years. Unfortunately, it would appear 2026 Aubrey puts more effort into the rollout for an album than the music on the album, because there is just so much filler, especially towards the end.

It actually starts off pretty strong. The opener Make Them Cry is ... read more

In a current world of political turmoil, The Lemon Twigs return at just the right time to remind us how cheerful and endearing their music can be.

There's just so many feel-good sunshine pop highlights. 'I Just Can't Get Over Losing You' was a great single that still sounds as good in the context of the album. Meanwhile, 'Bring You Down' is an instantly catchy rock'n'roll banger which would make Chuck Berry proud.

I think the melancholy track ... read more

This is an album that is as heavy on the heart as it is on the ears.

It's The Long Goodbye is the 6th album from the post-punk Scotts The Twilight Sad and it's an album that marks the end of a 7 year hiatus for the duo. Despite this, they're still writing razor-sharp, infectiously catchy tracks. This time the content surrounds vocalist James Graham's mother, and James' struggles dealing with her passing. His poignant vocal performances combined with the sonically dense ... read more

7 years from LP3, American Football return with another album. Whilst LP4 isn't completely unfamiliar territory for the band, there's clearly a bigger emphasis on post-rock this time around and it makes for some of their most refined tracks in a long time.

There's some notable improvements, but the merit of The Great Divide is greatly impeded by its 77 minute runtime. That as well as constantly repeating the same New England hometown narrative.

Nothing... has great highlights, but at a short 34 minutes there wasn't really any room for by-the-book Mitski tracks. Yet, some of the chamber pop cuts sound too similar to each other.

One of the best examples of deftones' abilities with nuance. Compared to earlier releases like around the fur, Koi No Yokan feels a lot more refined and meditative. This is especially the case on highlight tracks such as Entombed and Rosemary. There's something intriguing about Chino's lyricism across this album as well. It feels very ethereal and quietly complex, even by the band's standards.

As sultry as it is groovy, Superbloom is not only another quality disco album in the Jessie Ware discography but also a great starting point for newcomers.

I've always seen this album in the deftones discography as uncertain of its identity. Diamond Eyes sits in-between the more experimental Saturday Night Wrist and the yet-to-come dreampop-adjacent Koi No Yokan. Both are more ineteresting albums than Diamond Eyes in my opinion because they feel like they serve more of a purpose to the deftones timeline. Contrastingly, Diamond Eyes feels like more of a transitional moment, and not one where Chino & Co. know what their musical destination ... read more

Some of the best EDM I've heard this decade. A super consistent tracklist, a perfect balance of crude and endearing in the lyrical content and a moment in the underscores discography that will surely make April's popularity explode in 2026.

Some of the progressions on the longer cuts are SLIGHTLY samey, if I had to pick a flaw to this new Neurosis project. However, generally speaking, this is an incredibly heavy, sometimes hypnotic post-metal album. I'm not even that big of a sludge metal guy either, but I found a lot of the hazy crushing riffs to be pretty engaging. On top of this, the general lyrical themes of rebirth (both metaphorically and literally following the lineup change and the comeback) are certainly admirable.

This is not only the most overrated trap album ever, but also one of the most overrated albums of any genre. Ever. And I will happily explain why I strongly believe this below.

DS2 was released as a studio album shortly after the period of Future's artistic peak so far, this being the mixtape run of Monster, 56 Nights and Beast Mode. The cultural celebration of these projects largely came down to Future delivering some of his most aggressive and high-octane tracks on those mixtapes, ... read more

A truly bizarre listen. Cameron Picton's sometimes disturbing lyricism, like on the track actress, contrasts with the breezy folk production in a way that few could pull off. The placement of the vocals in the mix is super claustrophobic to the point where I can imagine myself watching Picton & co playing right n front of me in almost pitch-black darknesss, with the only source of light being a dimly lit candle. It's perplexing, but a worthwhile experience.

Generally, I wouldn't say that deftones are reinventing the wheel when it comes to the sound of this project; however, I do think this is stronger than their recent releases. The use of synths and the way they slice through the mixes on a lot of these tracks is great and it throws something different into the mix that I believe albums like Gore and Ohms were crying out for.

fav tracks:
- my mind is a mountain
- infinite source

Unmusique definitely shows Lucy Bedroque's range as an artist. To a degree there's a Playboi Carti / Lil Uzi Vert influence vocally, but lucy has such a more varied vocal range and cadence that it makes them stand out. The tracks are also short, but snappy. Fenty Face goes SO hard. It's a mixtape in name and in spirit; most tracks are very brief, some to the point where they struggle to leave an impact. I'd like to think something more ambitious is in the pipeline, but this ... read more
