Muse - Unravelling
50

After a puzzling start, the song tries to channel the energy the band is known for, and kinda succeeds at that. Still, it's rough around the edges, and reminiscent of the downsides of WOTP-era Muse. I hope it's a step in the right direction.

Muse - Be With You
30

On par with the lower points of WOTP, not much to save here unfortunately...

Modest Mouse - Look How Far…
75

Altough short, there's undeniable energy in this track, and I really love the instrumental side. Can't wait to see what they have in store for this new album.

Oh Hiroshima - In Silence We Yearn
87

A hidden gem and a half

The Smile - Cutouts
85

Wasn't expecting to like this more than Wall of Eyes but there we are.

Sure, there is no Bending Hectic here. But these 'cutouts' make for an eclectic journey through a myriad of sounds that, at times, reminds of Thom's ethereal solo work (Tiptoe), typical The Smile (Colours Fly) or something beyond (Zero Sum, Bodies Laughing).

Special mention to Instant Psalm, which while it's not the album's best track, reminds me of a 1990s Radiohead unreleased deep cut that ... read more

Кино [Kino] - Последний Герой [Le dernier des héros]
90

Kino at it's greatest. An astounding collection of songs.

Fresh Air - Kill Yourself / Just Don't Care
90

Never thought I'd enjoy hearing someone telling me to do it

Magdalena Bay - Imaginal Disk
93

Damn, I expected it to be good but not THAT good. Mica and Matt outdid themselves with this behomoth of synthpop, filled with bangers and creativity. The production is outstanding, everything feels so well crafted and layered. There's intensity, and softness going back and forth all the way through. I did appreciate the last songs a bit less than the rest of the record, but they were still really good.

If that's not AOTY, I don't see what is.

95

Well well, this is something. That ending sent me to outer space.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Flight b741
77

Think hey couldve pushed the concept further, similarly to the singles, as it got a bit repetitive in some parts. A solid record nonetheless.

Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth
85

While overshadowed by its predecessors, it's still a pretty damn solid record on its own

sign crushes motorist - i'll be okay
62

There are mainly 2 things wrong with this album : the fact that Last Friday Night exists, and the fact that it's more than 5 minutes long, making it the longest song on this project. Drops the rating from like 70 to this.

Muse - The 2nd Law
75

Muse's most overhated album. Messy, diverse, uneven, but filled with some good to great songs, including some of the band's all time best such as Animals, Supremacy or Panic Station.

Coldplay - feelslikeimfallinginlove
60

Coldplay goes for a basic formula there, which is already enough to make a much better song than most of MOTS

Foo Fighters - The Teacher
95

Actually one of the best FF songs ever, period.

Fontaines D.C. - Starburster
90

This goes hard, damn

MGMT - Nothing To Declare
75

Panchiko type beat

Jung Kook - GOLDEN
NR

Watch the user score drop to 35 when the bots will be gone lol

Slowdive - everything is alive
82

Sure, it's no Souvlaki, but it doesn't make this album any less of a sweet and melancholic experience, crafting a beautiful atmosphere all the way through.
I'm just glad Slowdive are still out there putting together nice music in 2023, hope they keep going !
