Magnetic, prophetic, enchanting. This debut album stands well as one of the milestones for eco-pop in the future. (4.3/5)
-
Between Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon & The National’s Aaron Dessner, the album doesn’t have enough substance to form its identity. (2.3/5)
-
The ambitious second album from the American viral musician brings a nostalgic look into ageing even if it all feels too familiar or if it lacks a certain impact in its reach to make you think about life. (3.1/5)
-
Many artists have tried to meld classical composition & instrumentation to pop music with a drizzle of studio enhancement, but few can craft it into a cacophonous bastion of mythic proportion as this record did. (4.8/5)

The anticipated third album from a notable American project by Michelle Zauner shows some lush instrumentation & mixing, but it’s ultimately a rather unextraordinary listening experience even with its immaculate first two tracks. (3.3/5)
-
After nearly 12 years’ worth of wait, the cult-loved indietronic duo finally delivers their fourth LP. Melding explosive production, melodic dream pop & dynamic kick drums to an otherworldly experience, longtime fans will find more to come in this record. Summative Verdict 4.0/5 Initially an unknown group from San Francisco, California in the U.S, you…

The definite feel-good album of the year so far, Porter Robinson’s signature blend of electro-synth-pop is mixed with folk alongside a more choppy production that leads to a vibrant, dynamic and wholesome collection of songs around enjoying life. (4.6/5)
-
At its best, it feels like the new wave of the future – the band’s debut album mixes in glitchy, pastiche-like bricolage of hyperpop with the melody & catchiness of pop-punk to make the most infectious experimental hit out there. A serious potential for cult classic in a few years’ time. (4.2/5)
-
A combination of both baroque orchestration with Weezer’s signature appeal to memorable hooks lead to one of the band’s most solid work post-Pinkerton. (3.8/5)
-
However admirable the pianos, the drumming and the string instruments are, the lacklustre lyricism & singing errs the band’s breakthrough record. (3.5/5)
