"Been listening to this non stop at the minute. Classics. Seem to love more now than at the time it came out. It's a compilation and remixes but sounds like a studio album. Doesn't sound dated at all to me anyways. Right, think I'll stick it on again. Got to be up there with the best remixers ever...""Been listening to this non stop at the minute. Classics.

Got to be up there with the best remixers ever. To take a tune like bug powder dust which is a fantastic track originally and make a track just as good or better in remix form ......"[+]Reply
"Almost an all-time classic. The opening one-two of "...Political" (all my least favourite SA tracks are those with a blatant political stance) and the cliched "All I Want" are the biggest false start to an album ever. From there, it's chilling and soaring all the way until the penultimate track.....""Almost an all-time classic. The opening one-two of "...Political" (all my least favourite SA tracks are those with a blatant political stance) and the cliched "All I Want" are the biggest false start to an album ever. From there, it's chilling and soaring all the way until the penultimate track... the guttural riff & Skin's demented howl deserve a better overall song than "Milk Is My Sugar". A bit of fantasy tracklisting, delving into the future, but substitute "Charlie Big Potato", "I Will Break You", and "Secretly" from elsewhere in their catalogue for the aforementioned three, and you're seriously talking best album of the 90s contender."[+]Reply
"This was Lemmy's swansong to Hawkwind, and what a way to go! Hawkind had added an extra drummer on this, and this one continued in the musical progression that "Hall of the Mountain Grill" started. Brilliant!"Reply
"I had never really heard of Coheed and Cambria until my nephew played me the opening track of this album and I was really taken with the synth string arrangement and with the 'Rush like' direction of the album from 'Welcome Home'.

Apart from Budgie, I have never heard a vocalist that sounded like Geddy Lee. I like this album a lot as it reminds me of the early more progressive Rush, great musicianship all over, good album flow."[+]Reply
"This is a group with a lot of potential. Every song is about another person on the cover. I think the production is almost perfect across the album, however the songwriting could use some improvements. There are some flawless moments on here like Agnes, The Other Side of Paradise, and Youth. None...""This is a group with a lot of potential. Every song is about another person on the cover. I think the production is almost perfect across the album, however the songwriting could use some improvements. There are some flawless moments on here like Agnes, The Other Side of Paradise, and Youth. None of the songs are awful, but some could have been better.
Overall, definitely a highlight in the genre and Glass Animals show enough potential through two albums that I think they may release a masterpiece soon."[+]Reply
"It's little wonder that this album garnered so much attention - it's fecking great. For all its surf-rock tropes and bluesy-folksy borrowings, it's quite a one-off.

Best track: Bring Me Simple Men. Music to listen to when you're getting your revenge on a cowboy."[+]Reply
"PSYCHODRAMA is the first album to completely deliver on the promise UK hip hop has shown in the past few years. There's been some good records in the grime scene, most prominently Skepta's 'Konnichiwa' and Wiley's 'Godfather', but for the most part even the best of these feel like a modern update...""PSYCHODRAMA is the first album to completely deliver on the promise UK hip hop has shown in the past few years. There's been some good records in the grime scene, most prominently Skepta's 'Konnichiwa' and Wiley's 'Godfather', but for the most part even the best of these feel like a modern update of a subgenre that was better 15 years ago. UK hip hop that doesn't fall under grime has provided some great singles but only Kojey Radical's 'In God's Body' really came together as an album. Dave has been one of those rappers who puts out hit and miss singles and there's been a pretty clear pattern of the serious tracks being great and the party tracks being forgettable.
Fortunately of the last two singles Dave released it's 'Black' that makes it onto PSYCHODRAMA, not 'Funky Friday'. 'Black' is an excellent political track that tackles institutional racism and is so necessary right now. There's no shortage of brilliant music from the US discussing race but it's staggering how little this conversation comes up in the UK where a post-racial myth has gone largely unchallenged by both sides of the political divide.
Other highlights on the album include 'Psycho' an uncomfortable but powerful expression of mental health and the circumstances surrounding it. J-Hus featuring 'Disaster' sees the two rappers go back and forth detailing the ways in which fame has changed their lives. Closing track 'Drama' is even more expressive and honest than 'Psycho' and is the perfect way to finish the project offering as much positivity and closure as you can get on an album this grim.
As good as these tracks are they pale in comparison to centrepiece 'Lesley'. It's one of the very best storytelling tracks I've heard in years and its success comes down to a combination of emotional connection and its necessary but overlooked subject matter. Changes in perspective also allow Dave to discuss the pain caused to several groups of people as a result of the track's subject. I won't go into the subject matter of the track here because the best way to get the full impact of the track is to just hear it instead of seeing it described first.
There are a couple of drawbacks. 'Purple Heart' is a pathetically corny track featuring some of the least sexy lines I've heard in a while. The star sign puns are also on another level of painful. 'Location' is nowhere near as bad but lags way behind the quality of surrounding tracks and becomes completely forgettable.
In spite of a few missteps PSYCHODRAMA is a fantastic album which shows Dave reaching new heights (worth keeping in mind that he's only 20). His gloomy delivery and subject matters are so reflecting of modern Britain and its multitudes of problems and injustices. The personal core of this record is particularly strong and really sets Dave apart from his peers, he's got a real talent at building an emotional connection to his more serious tracks. 'Lesley' in particular shows a talent that very few in the music scene have. All 11 minutes of it are viscerally written and emotionally draining. As depressing as a lot of PSYCHODRAMA is there's still an overwhelming feeling that when these subjects are expressed so competently it can start the conversations in society to help us do better."[+]Reply
