"Sounding a little like classic ELO, especially on the second track, "It Ain't Over", the duo brings forth another album of sparkling garage rock/blues and an early favorite for the best album of 2022."Reply
"Great lost psychedelic. Beautiful arrangements with string overdubs a la "Forever Changes" and strongly influenced by it. You can clearly hear these influences in "A Horn Playing On My Thin Wall", "Look At The Wind", "Look To The Sun" and "Didn't" among others.

You can clearly hear these influences in "A Horn Playing On My Thin Wall", "Look At The Wind", "Look To The Sun" and "Didn't" among others. In other respects it draws from jazz as in "Look At The Wind" even from "The Velvet Underground And Nico" and "The Doors" as in "Something New You Can Hide In".
Add this to the ones that you have to listen before you die."[+]Reply

Especially among their older albums, this band has managed to put together tracks that pull one's emotions. Key to this is Raine Maida, and in Spiritual Machines, he shows, like always, that he is masterful in his vocals, and consistently capable of inputting the emotions of the narrator into them. This album probably reveals the most insanity of the track's narrators, and Maida is able to make insanity sound musical... No small feat. Listen to this album if you enjoy alternative rock at all."[+]Reply
""Nicely Out of Tune" was Lindisfarne's 1970 debut-album. Lindisfarne's music is catchy folk-inspired music; maybe it could be described as a British version of Lovin' Spoonful's good-time music. Lovin' Spoonful had John Sebastian and Lindisfarne had Alan Hull; both great singers and songwriters. ..."""Nicely Out of Tune" was Lindisfarne's 1970 debut-album. Lindisfarne's music is catchy folk-inspired music; maybe it could be described as a British version of Lovin' Spoonful's good-time music.
Lovin' Spoonful had John Sebastian and Lindisfarne had Alan Hull; both great singers and songwriters. Hull contributes 7 of the original album's 11 songs, and he is obviously the dominating personality in the band. Songs like "Lady Eleanor", "Winter Song", "Scarecrow Song" and "We Can Swing Together" are simply outstanding.
"Turn a Deaf Ear" written by Rab Noakes is another highlight; actually there are no weak tracks on the album. Rod Clements, another fine song-writer in the band, wrote two of the songs and especially "Road to Kingdom" is great and a Lindisfarne classic.
"Nicely out of Tune" and the follow-up, "Fog on the Tyne", are the two most consistent Lindisfarne albums, and both are highly recommendable. "[+]Reply

It puts on display an ELO at their most uncompromising; the orchestral elements are used less as enhancements for pop songs and more to imbue an explicit classical music influence in the tracks, with all 5 of them running (basically) 7 minutes or more. The structures of most songs also follow a very classical-style form. 'Mama' is one of the first displays of Jeff Lynne's true genius as a songwriter, and while 'Roll Over Beethoven', a mashup of the Chuck Berry classic with components of Beethoven's 5th Symphony, sounds like it should be nothing more than a novelty, it is executed so perfectly that I'm inclined to call it one of music's all time greatest cover songs."[+]Reply
"Fantastic band! Mark Speer is one of the most talented guitarists I've seen in recent years. People Everywhere and Dern Kala are the highlights on this one, and I encourage you to go watch a live performance of them on YouTube, you will not be disappointed."Reply

I have a hard time even picking a least or most favorite track because I think they are all really good. The opener is just so heavy and that scream is wicked. Birds is wonderfully/weirdly abstract even for Death Grips. This is Violence and Feels Like a Wheel are pretty catchy and the closer's upbeat section mixed with the darker section's blinding synth bursts closes out the album in a really intense way.
My only complaint is that I feel about it the way I feel about Flying Lotus's Cosmogramma, which is that while I do really love the tracks I just wish they were more fleshed out. Still, I can't really complain since I'm loving what I'm hearing. Death Grips is one of the more innovative groups of today and I will continue to look forward to more material."[+]Reply

It's a fusion of pop, reggae, funk, soul, jazz and electronica and despite being 40 years old still sounds fresh and undated. Listen to those first beats/bars of 'Asylums In Jerusalem' and tell me that doesn't sound cool AF. The lyrics are about philosophy ... and sex. "[+]Reply

There was some buzz about bringing Rostam into the mix, but all that seemed to aid the production was with hammering the sound completely flat, as it all just sort of lazily mix-n'matches VHI-style AdultContemporary balladry with indie rock and electropop and even some light R&B with rarely any noticeable difference in sound or movement whatsoever. Every progression seems to flow horizonantly without ever really rising, scattering or peaking. Yes, I understand I'm well past the age where her songs and their lyrics could've felt more impactful and she seems like a perfectly nice person whose gotten some undeserved hate revolving around the usual modern questions of internet-bred-artist's authenticity, but this really just shows off the kind of modern bastardization/algorithm way of producing music that has really wallpaper'd so-called "genre-mixing" into lightweight, comforting, vanilla blandness. Nothing unlistenable here, and "Bags" is indeed a nice track, but Immunity is pretty much an in-one-ear, out-the-other release that leaves little impression either way. Not saying she doesn't have potential (especially if she can find a way to inject some semblance of spark or spotenaity into her songs), but so far the musical hype feels as questionable as the personal backlash.
