"The Chemical Brothers doing what The Chemical Brothers do best – melodic, collaboration-heavy, big beat anthems. Dance music for the living room as well as the discotheque. Rating: Brilliant Best track: Hey Boy Hey Girl"  Reply

"Really starting to warm up to this record more-so than Bitte Orca. Whilst Longstreth retains his seemingly throat-straining vocals and the background female harmonies remain, Swing Lo Magellan differs much from it's predecessor in the sense that it sounds as though the band aren't focusing too he..."  [+]  Reply

"Wow it beggars belief that an album as good as this one currently sits at # 972 on the BEA Over Chart as per August 2018 whilst garbage like The Rolling Stones 'Aftermath' sits inside the top 500 Where to begin with this album ? Wire to wire its superb from the unconventional opening salvo of "Th..."  [+]  Reply

"Because sometimes we do not care anymore about Migos news, we feel like we're talking about K-dot because we have to, and we think that this American hip-hop never seemed also absent, we need a guy like Barrington Hendricks, aka JPEGMAFIA. Peggy's music is first and foremost a very special atmosp..."  [+]  Reply

"This would easily be the greatest EP of all time if the last track didn't exist (although, it's a bit long for an EP). Every single song is a 10/10 in my books, which even my most favourite album of all time, Sgt. Pepper's, can't do. This album is so unbelievably amazing besides the risque last s..."  [+]  Reply

"It seems every release from Lenker and Meek kind of resets my expectations and introduces something new to consider.
