-
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)
-
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)
-
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)
-
Between the chaotic bellows of jazz, post-punk and even klezmer influences, singer-guitarist Isaac Wood’s baritone singing and despairing narrative lyrics, the seven-piece band’s debut is a borderline-instant knockout in Britain’s third post-punk wave. (4.8/5)
-
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)
