You've gotta respect Royal Blood on their self titled debut for their unwavering commitment to not having any new ideas at all. Seriously, you could make a pretty good case for this album being a more polished ripoff of pretty much every popular rock band of the decade that preceded its release.
The actual musical content isn't anything egregious but by the same token it's nothing you'd write home about. Sure, people like Royal Blood, but who on earth would call them their ... read more

Not kidding when I say this is probably one of the best pop songs of the 21st century.
A nice new one from PTM. Feels like the closest to their roots as a full-on rock band in a long time.
I listened to this of my own volition, having not even known it was popular in any other capacity. Maybe that's why I like it.
A solid albeit occasionally unpolished and certainly of-its-time electronic release that bridges the gap between Datarock and Justice and has fun on the way. Also just so happens to hold one of the greatest songs of the 2000s within it- Pogo, of course, the ultimate electronic party tune. Also worth listening for I Want I Want and Idealistic, which are both hard-hitting fusions of new rave and electro house and among the better stuff the album has on offer.
You could tell When We All Fall Asleep was a revolutionary hit because immediately after every label started trying to find the next Billie Eilish and nothing they threw at the wall came close to the original. Dark pop music at its absolute finest and most innovative. It’s so good that it kind of dwarfs most of the stuff Billie has come out with since (and that’s not a knock against Billie because she’s made plenty of great songs since this)

"great review; dan le sac & scroobius pip are interesting in that their legacy now seems to be this song and a very bad pitchfork review. i heard their first album and none of it really gelled with me, although i did enjoy this does it offend you yeah remix of a song off their second album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwvucPxCyC0. also, their name is always a nice little throwback to when collaborations would be labeled as "one artist vs another artist" haha"

On orange's review of Lovejoy - One Simple Trick
"I dunno, I think Lovejoy have had more than enough time to find their niche, so to speak. They've already put out three widely publicised EPs and they're getting double the attention and resources a regular indie rock band would get at this stage in their career thanks in no small part to the existing popularity of their lead singer. If they're still spinning their wheels in the mud right now I don't have high hopes for their future release quality."

On bubobratesmusic's review of The K's - I Wonder If The World Knows
"that game in particular took a heavier influence from the edm scene as well as more pop rap (let it roll, us against the world) and the bulk of the indie was mostly along the lines of shimmer pop like st. lucia and early walk the moon"
