So I’ve been on this site nearly 3 years now, and because I’m approaching both my 3 year anniversary and my 200th review, I decided to re-review my first ever review on this site, which was to put it nicely - appalling. Thank you to everyone who has followed me, liked my reviews or even read them! I don’t really look at likes or followers on here but it is always nice to see that people are reading things I’ve written <3

While at times it plays dangerously close to the light between “cohesion” and “homogeneity”, fromis_9’s first full album “Unlock My World” has some of the group’s most fun and well written tracks. I don’t think it would be a stretch that this is the best full album to come out of a 4th generation group so far…
To get the worst part of the album out of the way first, title track “#menow” is easily the weakest song here. ... read more
On their first album in almost half a decade, cero creates an album that feels like a long journey through different shades of the unknown. “e o” is equally as mysterious as it is enchanting. And serves as an incredible evolution of the group’s sound, without compromising what made their previous releases interesting.
Album opener Epigraph illustrates how much more refined the production and songwriting is on “e o”, with wavering synths and eerie guitar strums ... read more
“MY WORLD” is a complete return to form for aespa, after a disappointing EP last year. And the mini album demonstrates perfect;y how to reach out beyond your concept as a group, whilst still retaining the musical elements that draw people to you.
Promotional single “Welcome to MY World”, which features the famed “Naevis” from the group’s lore, shows a different side of the group. The tense and slinky guitar works as the key motif within a rather ... read more
Distinguishing oneself in the sea of singer-songwriter pop/indie music can be a difficult task. But it was something I feel Matt Maltese did very well on his gorgeous 2018 album, “Krystal”. While 2023’s “Driving Just To Drive” doesn’t quite live up to the heights of his earlier albums, it is still a pretty solid album with some very nice tracks.
The 2 singles that made me generally quite excited for this project were “Mother”, and “Driving ... read more
While “UNFORGIVEN” is a respectable collection of songs, as an album it feels conceptually and sonically disappointing.
The first 6 tracks of “UNFORGIVEN” are just 3 songs from each of their 2 released mini albums. This isn’t necessarily a bad idea, as it is industry practice to put singles on the most recent album. However in this case, it does not aid the album at all. All of these songs are identical to their counterparts from previous mini albums - with the ... read more

Hey Mate,
Just wondering if you were able to contribute to a list by @CamDoesMusic and @truthfulreviews based upon your 10 favourite 90's albums. This would work through you messaging myself a list from 1 being the best and 10th being the 10th best album you have listened to from the 90's. If you are able to contribute with a quote summarising the particular album as well that would be awesome! Your information delivered to us will be used to create a list named "AOTY Users Favourite 90's Albums".

Some albums I've listened to over the years that either haven't received enough exposure or don't receive high enough acclaim in my opinion
