I remember vaguely hearing of Taylor Swift back in 2014 and when 1989 came out, I watched a few MV and decided it wasn't for me. Skip to 2020 and I rediscover her music with Folklore and then keep on falling deeper in love with her music , so it's not surprise that 1989-Taylor's Version is pretty damn good to discover in its entirety. I don't have the nostalgia that most have of the original,so I simply enjoyed what is brought to the table here : A pretty damn good pop album that almost 10 ... read more
10 Years Ago , Namie Amuro released her 10th album...and what an album FEEL turned out to be. Just full of EDM bangers, doesn't overstay its welcome and still left a mark on my mind forever.
The timing of this coming out when I needed it the most emotionally speaking, is incredible.
I wasn't sure how to feel about this album when the 1st singles came out but now that I've had a few months, I absolutely ADORE this album. Bastille continues to be a source of comfort for me and this album really is just great, even in its darkest moments.
Hard to believe it has been 10 years since Electra Heart, but what a legacy this album has created. Very happy to finally have "Electra Heart" and "E.V.O.L" still slap and now in HQ .
21 years in the music industry and yet Mika Nakashima barely ever composed any of her work, and yet with this 10th album , this is her 1st foray into entirely composing, writing and producing this album and what a change it provides. This album feels so freeing and enjoyable. Yes there are some throback to the safety net that is her usual style but this album feels bold strange and enigmatic. A recipe that works so well and I am happy to say that this album is great.
The fact that I've never been disappointed by any of her releases since her debut is a heartwarming feeling and "Crash" is no exception. I love me some good pop records like this one.
"The Body Never Lies" is a step up from Zer0. It flows better and this album feels like a logical and organic improvement from its predecessor.
Definitively amongst my favourite Michael Giacchino scores. Each theme represents the movie's atmosphere and characters like a fine tailored suit.
A bit of a letdown, I purposefully avoided listening to any of the (many) singles released prior to this one, and although Ayaka's enthusiasm is always nice, this one feels a little bit too cheesy for me.
If you are wonderinf if you should get this deluxe ed. of Cape God, the answer is yes, 5 new songs all as high quality as the other ones.

what a chill and fantastic album. Not one track I dislike, all gems.
Dubbing Younha as only a ballad singer would be the biggest mistake you ever make. And "End Theory" continues to show that she can do whatever she wants and nail it. This album is rich , visually beautiful, and presents a catalog of songs that all fit together to create another great entry in her discography.
I felt very disconnected from Love+Fear but I'm happy to say that "Ancient Dreams in a modern Land" is right up my alley. Welcome back Marina.
Crystal Kay's voice is always a pleasure to hear even when she covers the most covered songs out there. Unfortunately impeccable vocals cannot save this cover album from sounding all too familiar. It plays way too safe and the songs selection although classics in Japanese music scene, have been covered way too many times by now by everyone else.
