Poppy - Flux

Poppy's third record "I Disagree" (released last year) was my introduction to her work. A year later, that album wasn't really replayed.

When I first heard "Her", the lead single to Poppy's newest project, I thought it was quite a nice track and my interest in her resurfaced.

"Flux" to me shows Poppy in a more mature and engaging fashion, with a more meticulous display of her talents.
While still commiting to the smart blend of pop with punk/rock elements, this ... read more

You know Fantano with Death Grips?
That's me with IDLES.

The group's last record "Ultra Mono" got quite a high rating from me, but It wasn't replayed as much as I first expected (apart from the singles and a few album tracks like "Reigns").
Now, just over a year later, the band is back!

The singles ahead of this new record were outstanding!

"The Beachland Ballroom" proved that this band just keeps releasing a new favourite song for me. It has everything I ... read more

Well... The biggest disappointment of the year.

I swear to God....If people called "Everyday Life" trash, then what is this? 💀

Coldplay's 9th studio record is a commercial hit (the usual), but it's their worst since "A Head Full of Dreams".
And their WORST.

The worst part is that I had the dumb vision of hope for this record. When I first heard "Coloratura" I thought to myself: "Damn, this is great! This new record will perhaps show some ... read more

Disclaimer: What I'll be writing about this record has nothing to do with Lorde's present state of mind. I'm happy that she's in a better place right now. Lorde not being the "depressed indie girl from 2014" anymore does not interfere with my rating and opinion on the record. Glad you're doing fine, Lorde.

She really came back to save 2021! Or so they said. I thought "Solar Power" would be more powerful.

The title track was odd at first listen. The fact that it's the ... read more

Roger Taylor - Outsider

Roger Taylor is the drummer of my all time favourite band: Queen.

I love all the work he put into writing lyrics, singing vocals and playing drums for the band since all the way back in 1971, but I never had much interest in his solo work apart from a few songs like "I Wanna Testify" and "Sunny Day".

"Outsider" is another one of those projects that were conceived due to being unable to tour due to the pandemic, and it shows. It lacks consistency, and most ... read more
