God gave us everything (drunken-sounding Julian Casablancas in The New Abnormal) and then took it all away.

Beautiful, ethereal and deeply magical. Reminds me of some of the best pop music I've listened to: Pet Sounds, The Dreaming, Björk's work; while also being folky, or even Dusty Springfield-ish in it's melodies, and flowing much like an acoustic singer-songwriter album, while on top of it having a production meant to inmerse you into this otherworldly, almost out-of-body, levitating soundscape; and does all of this while sounding entirely original and extremely surprising.

Spiritually in the same brainwave as Punk and the French New Wave: take something and do it yourself; break rules; be honest or be ironic, but always true to yourself. In Charli's case, it's post-modern rock music; what if 'serious music' wasn't such at all. We were all expecting beautiful, profound music, and then she delivered a weird, very funny, off-key satire.

Very much what most big post-punk/indie rock releases today want to be. Entertainment feels essentially punk in all the best ways possible: stripped back production, of a very DIY caracter; artistic freedom, in Gang of Four's case, a freedom to explore the sound of punk beyond the confines of rock (messing with punk funk, punk disco; and thus making dance-punk); as well as very sharp, very witty pollitical commentary that's both funny and poigniant to the working class' struggles ... read more

To think we're getting a whole fucking album of this... We're so back

Listening to this album i think i saw god.

Bowie was really just that guy

An operadic punk rock festival of lost souls and broken dreams as we mourn the past and celebrate that our memory will carry on in the future.
Undoubtedly my favourite album of all time, this was mind-bending stuff when i first listened to it and 2 years later it still is.

Actual fucking modern-day classic.

Rougher than i remembered it to be, but still a great collection of big dramatic pop songs that are all very memorable.
Not all the lyrics in the album are the best but Lana's talent for songwriting is apparent (i specially love the chorus in Video Games and like all of This Is What Makes Us Girls).

I wasn't sure about what i was gonna find going into this album but i was genuently very impressed.
'Future Nostalgia' is a bright, shiny, on-your-face disco album, it's really fun from start to end.
It's lyrics aren't anything deep but they are extremely catchy (specially Boys Will Be Boys) and rather fun, the themes across all the songs clearly being the feeling of being in love and relationships, but Dua Lipa is a great vocal performer and she really elevates ... read more

Linkin Park's masterpiece. It seemed impossible that they could top Hybrid Theory but i really think they did.
Lyrically it's sad and full of regret like Hybrid Theory and Minutes To Midnight but it stands out by channeling that sadness and regret through angst, both through vocals and instruments.
This album also has a lot more electronic stuff than Hybrid Theory did, and it's great. The combination of vocals, instruments and electronics is perfect here.
The critics were VERY ... read more
