Годы идут, а новые британские «пост-панк» альбомы всё ещё выходят. В этот раз даже жаловаться не хочется.
На фоне того, как неоднократно каждый год появляются новые группы в этой условной категории, Shame умудряются удивлять своими изменениями – если на прошлых ... read more

Альбом неплохой. Лучше, чем предыдущий. Некоторые песни мне не нравятся, конечно, но в общем и целом альбом держит планку нормального материала имхо.

Despite me being a fan of progressive rock, art rock and some rock operas, I wasn't a fan of Pink World, and I can name at least three reasons why:

1. The songwriting is bland. No, seriously. It doesn't do much enough to keep me interested in what it's trying to do. Most of the songs sound like a mix of generic 80s pop, 80s Pink Floyd and 80s David Bowie. If that sounds good for you - great, listen to this album then, - but for me it means that this record gets worse and worse and more boring ... read more

Буду честен, я изначально ожидал, что альбом мне не сильно понравится. Связанно это с тем, что другой полноформатник Parannoul мне не зашёл от слова совсем.

Но как же я был удивлён, когда включил After the Magic! Инструменталка сияет, звук шумный, вокал звучит хорошо, более тяжёлые ... read more

Not really interesting on its own. The sound is not so good too. Maybe it will sound better in an album or something, but right now this just feels like a semi-empty piece of music that I'd put on once and then immediately forget about it.

I wasn't expecting much from the album, but it still managed to disappoint me, the main reason being the mixing and the sound production. The former is very disbalanced, drums are too loud in the mix for me to enjoy anything from these songs, and the latter being very, very low quality for unknown reasons. The songwriting is very bland with some nice ideas coming through every once in a while, yet there is no possibility to enjoy riffs and cool orchestral moments when the mix is ... read more

The album is nuts.
The energy is insane, the mixing is amazing and the overall material is great! Also, yeah, the vocalist is a beast.

Gonna be honest, I'm not really impressed with what this album provides, not even the atmosphere. In terms of composition, the record is pretty weak in my opinion. There are some overall good songs and cool melodies here and there, but most of the time I feel like i'm listening to Limp Bizkit's pop songs.
The instrumentation, on the other hand, is pretty dope. Definitely holds the whole album together so it's not just a bunch of random pieces with somewhat annoying vocals at times.
My ... read more

Not very interesting and I don't like the sound production that much. Definitely not their best.

Приятный джаз-рэп альбом с отличным инструменталом, который ощущается хорошо, даже как-то олдскульно.

This isn't an incredible record by any means, but it's pretty nice. It has good production, great vocals and okay instrumentation.

Если честно, то дебютник Moin мне нравится гораздо больше - в нём было много атмосферы, математика иногда проскакивала, треки запоминались благодаря структуре.
На Paste могу лишь отметить то, что группа держит планку продюсирования, так как альбом действительно звучит хорошо и ... read more

When it comes to modern shoegaze (by modern I mean 2010s and 2020s), I'm usually not a big fan of most albums I listen to. A lot of it was inspired by Deftones and that frustrates me a lot because I like the band but dislike anything that tries to become it. With Mildred's Pt. 2, it kind of works out.
Probably because of the sound production, and I won't lie, I love how this album sounds! It's pretty heavy when hits hard, the drums are noisy and the atmosphere blends into the mix and works well ... read more

私は Polyphia の大ファンではありませんが、彼らの新しいアルバムにはとても満足しています。 彼らはマス ロックをトラップ、フラメンコ、時にはジャズとミックスします。 この爆発的な混合物はすべて、夏、太陽、ビーチの素晴らしい感覚を与えてくれます。 このアルバムはバンドにとって勝利だったと思います。

In other words, it's a pretty damn solid effort.

If it wasn't for that song in the middle, this album'd get a higher rating from me, but I guess that ain't happening.

Modern shoegaze was something I enjoyed back in 2020 and early 2021, but after burning out on all shoegaze in general all of it became bland and very uninteresting for me. However, bands like Nothing can still bring joy with their material. Yes, most songs on Tired of Tomorrow sound like a more alt-rock version of Deftones with a few exceptions, but that doesn't really do ... read more

Despite still having something from Meteora and Hybrid Theory, A Thousand Suns bases itself on Minutes to Midnight yet with a lot more pop and rap elements than before, a good example would be 'Wretches and Kings' or the first proper song on the album, 'Burning in the Skies'. And while I'm fond of the pop elements (even though they make the rock cuts on this album like 'Robot Boy' too bland), I'm not too keen on the rap ones - they feel somewhat wrong and out of place. But what I do like even ... read more

Nasty

Not a good album. Dated songwriting and sound, weird mixing/mastering and on top of that this album feels so bland to the point where I'm starting to dislike it a lot. Can't recommend.

The album is pretty unpleasant, I have enjoyed some small bits of some songs across this 8-song record. What makes it unpleasant? Well, mainly the songwriting - it's uninteresting and mainly uses weird and dissonant chords with tritones and close-placed notes, which I am not a fan of - and the sound production, the record needs more air and less of the wall of sound. Verdict: not fun, I wanna breathe.
