It’s been 30 years (and a few days) since <<In Utero>>, Nirvana’s final album, was released! So many people who didn’t even exist back then are constantly reviewing it!
When compared to <<Nevermind>>, <<In Utero>> feels like a strenuous labyrinth, as Kurt’s songwriting got more eccentric than ever: „I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black”, „contradictionary flies”, „I own my own pet ... read more
Knock knock! Who’s there? Someone trying to get all // The Doors \\ to open!

While it doesn't start strong, the album is overall decent, despite the fact that, at times, the lyricism falls into the hit-or-miss pit.
There are also some highlights, which can be ... read more
// EUSEXUA \\, FKA twigs’ third LP, is self-explanatory and encompasses various musical styles.
Overall, // EUSEXUA \\ isn't really aiming to be unprecedented with its melodies, which is exactly why songs like << Girl Feels Good >>, the title track, << Striptease >> & << Perfect Stranger >> are eye-popping through other aspects: sensual vibes and effective storytelling.
The focus should now be switched to this album’s top-tier ... read more
From a remarkable post-emo sound, predominant on their first two albums, // Chamomile \\ & // St. Leonards \\, the bandmates of Slowly Slowly switched gears to pop punk on // Race Car Blues \\, // Race Car Blues Chapter 2 \\, with great results overall, and then managed to do well on // Daisy Chain \\ too!
Right now, the band is switching to ... whatever this is?
