'Fishing For Fishies' sees King Gizzard bring on the boogie in their first album after a year long break, and while it's not the bands best work- it makes for a very fun listen.

The most notable reoccurring sound that is prominent in this album is the bluesiness, which King Gizzard pull off in fine fashion, resulting in the listener just boogieing it up with each and every track. Instrumentally the band are tight as always, maintaining their experimental edge. The production is solid enough ... read more

'ARIZONA BABY' is the second full length solo album from Brockhampton member Kevin Abstract, and it provides a very introspective and deeply personal trip through Kevin's life and mind.

Up until this point, I have personally found that most of the solo work to have come from the various members of BROCKHAMPTON is not quite up to the quality that is seen as a collective- and this album while not being comparable to a BROCKHAMPTON project, is an all round solid album and an at times emotionally ... read more

Frank Ocean truly is a gift to music. His full length debut album 'channel Orange' is a masterpiece in every sense of the word, and will no doubt go down in history as a classic album.

Everything about this project is just downright incredible, from Franks silky smooth vocals, to the production, the songwriting and conceptual/thematic ideas put forward. Frank delves deep into his personal and very vulnerable thoughts, as well as masterfully crafting stories in tracks such as 'Pyramids' and ... read more

I've only very recently joined this site, and it was right at the time this album was released. I went to review this album but the reviews were locked due to all of the bot activity and what not, which was a shame cause I genuinely wanted to give my honest opinion on this latest piece of work from the global phenomenon that is BTS. But thankfully, I now have my chance so here is my review of 'MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA'.

Around this time last year, I had a number of my friends introduce me to ... read more

5 Seconds of Summer are a band I have always wanted to like. Being Australian myself, it is always wonderful seeing local artists succeeding on the global stage, and 5 Seconds of Summer have done just that. Unfortunately, 5SOS have still yet to deliver a project that stands out amongst the crowded genre they fit into.

'Youngblood' is the third full length studio album from Australian pop rockers 5 Seconds of Summer, and it serves to be their most mature and professional record to date. On ... read more

This 2018 release from indie-rock outfit Hop Along was the most pleasant surprise of an album for me. I had never heard of the band, and I stumbled upon the album while desperately trying to find something new to listen to on spotify. Personally, it was one of my favourite records of 2018, and for good reason.

'Bark Your Head Off, Dog' is an album where storytelling is at the forefront, and that is something I love in music when it is done well. Lyrically, the album paints a rather enchanting ... read more

UK pop sensations Coldplay released 'Ghost Stories' back in 2014, and while it is not fully the formulaic pop we've seen them put out in recent projects, it is still a VERY average album at best.

The one thing I can appreciate about 'Ghost Stories', is that it's one of the few recent Coldplay records that feel genuine in it's construction. The lyrical themes explored by Chris Martin clearly are important to him, and it is clear that throughout this album, he is laying his emotions out on the ... read more

The Foo Fighters 6th full length studio album is all in all a solid rock record, without being anything close to the best the band has released.

On 'Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace', Dave Grohl and co. do exactly what they have done consistently for decades- which is rock! Personally, when I think of rock music, at least from my generation- Foo Fighters are the first name that comes to mind. On every album you are bound to get at least a few great tracks, and this album is no exception. ... read more

The album 'Twin Fantasy' was originally released in 2011, to which it amassed an incredible cult following amongst indie music fans. The album was conceptually engaging, the emotional outpouring of its creative mastermind Will Toledo was in full force, and it was no doubt a loveable project back in it's initial state. However, this complete re-recording and reworking of the album is one that has made it feel even more potent, polishing and perfecting it in all of the right places.

'Twin ... read more

To think that this album is now 15 years old is pretty insane, I still listen to it regularly and get just as much enjoyment out of it as the first time I ever heard it. Whatever you want to say about Kanye West, there is no denying that his debut album was a breath of fresh air to the genre of hip-hop, and popular music in general. It has gone on to influence countless numbers of artists in all sorts of different genres, and it paved the way for all sorts of stylistic changes in rap.

'The ... read more

The sophomore album of one of the greatest band's of all time perfectly showcases the talent possessed by the band from the very start, and also at the same time shows how much they improved afterwards.

'Queen II' is one of many classic rock albums by the UK band, and in my opinion it gives the first true glimmer of the creativity that the band possessed in both musical composition and lyrical storytelling. The album, which consists of a central theme/story is played out from start to finish, ... read more

System Of A Down are a band that hold a rather special place in my heart. I was someone who never listened to metal music, and I had no desire to listen to the genre. A friend then recommended listening to the track 'Radio/Video', and that's when I was first exposed to metal music-System Of A Down and this near perfect album- 'Mezmerize'. The album to this day is my favourite SOAD record, and quite possibly my favourite album in the entire metal genre, and I have it to thank for opening my mind ... read more

I have been a long time fan of the Arctic Monkeys, and this album is most definitely a change in sound from their previous work, and the change is one that is welcome, but not really done well.

If I had to pick a word to sum up this album, it would be "meh". It's not the longest record, but it manages to feel excruciatingly long. I appreciate the band trying to take their sound in a new direction, but I can't help but feel this album just comes off as a boring slog to get through, ... read more

'I Like It When You Sleep' is the sophomore full length album from British band The 1975, and it improves in almost every way upon the bands self titled debut- further solidifying themselves as a formidable force in modern day pop.

The first few times I heard this album, I really didn't get the hype. It sounded boring, generic and the lyrics felt like they were written in the vain of "sad teenage angst and heartbreak". I don't know why I suddenly started to enjoy it, but it all ... read more

Ski Mask is a lot of fun to listen to. He is a talented rapper, with very silly but entertaining wordplay, and he is very capable of releasing great tracks. Unfortunately, he is still yet to release an all round solid project, and 'Stokeley' isn't quite the album that many were hoping for.

It's hard to put a finger on a particular flaw with this album. The lyrics are typical Ski, the beats sometimes feel stale, but for the most part they work well, and the production is as good as would be ... read more

Muse are a band that have always felt a bit hit and miss for me personally. They undeniably have talent as a band, and they have proven they can create masterful pieces of rock music on albums like 'Absolution' and 'Origins of Symmetry'. However, when I listen to Muse in comparison to some of the other bands in the genre, they have just never quite matched up. In saying all of this however, 'The 2nd Law' is an abysmal album, and one that has put me off listening to any of Muse's discography ... read more

I did not like 'Stoney' much at all as an album, and so I didn't have high hopes for this release of Post Malone. However I must say that on 'Beerbongs & Bentleys', Post came through with a flawed, but solid album.

'Beerbongs & Bentleys' is packed to the brim with pop hits, and Post has clearly demonstrated his ability to create tracks that are incredibly fun to listen to. His lyrics are definitely improved throughout the entire album in comparison to 'Stoney', but they still are not ... read more

This album is quite simply perfection, and for me personally is one of my all time favourites. Never before listening to an album have I felt the way I did when I heard 'Low' for the first time- and every time after that. It is a journey that must be experienced to understand.

I have no doubt that everyone that listens to this album will get a different journey, mine personally was filled with an incredible range of emotions. It had me bopping my head and grooving, smiling with a fondness for ... read more

P!nk has now had a long and illustrious pop career, and she unlike many of her contemporaries, has managed to maintain a consistently good discography. However in my humble opinion, 'Funhouse' is her greatest album ever released, and is all in all a wonderful and powerful pop album.

Touring wise, P!nk is one of the most successful artists today, however in terms of how much her music is discussed generally, I find it for some reason slips under the radar of many. Lyrically, she has always ... read more

Jon Bellion, aka "pop culture reference man" released a fairly solid album in 'The Human Condition'. Unfortunately 'Glory Sound Prep' doesn't maintain the same quality.

To start, this album is not at all "bad", it is just lacking in many important aspects. If one thing can be said about Jon Bellion, it is that he truly does enjoy just making music, and that comes out in his songs, which makes him come across as very genuine and endearing. There is a distinct personality ... read more
