Kara Jackson - Why Does the Earth Give Us People to Love?
89
Short Review
A very simple album, simple singer song writer music but it’s done beautifully which makes this worth the while. This folk record feels so refreshing but also deep in the way that it’s performed and written. Kara Jackson is a very talented song writer from what I’ve heard on this record. A lot of these tracks are pretty long but the songwriting is fascinating and poetic that it’s impossible not to listen. The deep but smooth vocals as well are perfect for ... read more
HMLTD - The Worm
71
Short Review
I was very excited for this record considering how much I loved their debut ‘West Of Eden’. Although I did overall enjoy this album I was a little let down as it doesn’t even compare to the debut. What I will say is, they took a big risk with this record as they went to this opera sounding rock ballad of a record. Production is abaosluteky stunning on this record honestly, from the pianos to the trumpets to the drums, everything felt like a medieval experience ... read more
Daughter - Stereo Mind Game
84
Short Review
What a wonderfully performed cute little dream pop record. There was also rock influences as well but I felt the dreamy production soar through.

The emotion on this album was expressed very well through these slow moving guitar tracks and this whole album is a wonderful vibe, it’s moving and I find it to ... read more
The HIRS Collective - We're Still Here

Short Review
Short, sweet and so much fun. The fact this album is only 30 minutes long and manages to get this much depth and heavy punches in it is incredible. The guitar work across this album is exciting and full of life, the vocal work from everyone slapped most of the time and I found the lyrical content to be even better. There’s so much ferocity in what’s being said and I think for a metal record that’s exactly what you need. The fact they got so many metal icons on ... read more
Navy Blue - Ways of Knowing
93
Short Review
Such a smooth jazz rap album with emotional lyrics and such a good sense of expression. Everything this album did was done with such a clear mind of what’s needed in order for it to sound fresh but also be relatable. The poetry used in his rapping is really clever and witty but it’s not hard to understand as he mellowly flows along with it. The production on this album is solid as well, fits well with the themes and topics that are talked about throughout this project ... read more

just to clarify, the ratings don’t matter on this list, I’m mainly basing it off how much replay value it has and of course how bad they are
