One of the 2010s’ most recognisable Emo band is back with an ambitious twist in the spanner. The final result having varied success in execution. (3.4/5)
-
The Scottish band’s album is fraught with gimmicky reverbs & same-old, same-old structures sans a few bright bulbs glowing about. (1.8/5)
-
The reputable slowcore couple continues their electronic divergence with cautious optimism, proving their flexibility in the process. (3.8/5)
-
The meteor of art-noise rock may lack a whole load of nuances, but its confrontational focus on political malaises can help drive the literal punk-heads onward (3.5/5)
-
20 years have passed since the debut of the Strokes’ debut record, a cataclysmic shift had ensued to make sure that rock is here to stay – in mainstream or underground.
-
After trying to listen to this 2 times, I would much rather go deaf than to go through it once again. Blank & boring is what it is. Matter of fact, you’d wish for it to be like its title in the first place. (1/5)
-
Spellbinding. The mix of emotional lyricism, bewitching instrumentation and a delicate intertwining between folk and rock have helped to establish what might’ve been the most overlooked album of 2021 so far. (4.5/5)
-
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)
-
However many press it gets from its following, the noisy, psychedelic record from Spirit of the Beehive just doesn’t do for me. A difficult, yet colourful cacophony of noises & diverse production from almost all directions, but its direction almost falls flat into trying to impress more than the basic goal being to entertain. (2.2/5)
