"Usually my response to "my new album is '80s inspired" is "oh really, how refreshing" in a very sarcastic tone. The disaster of Muse's last album and the infinite blandness of Dua Lipa's latest release (however the opinions are divided on that) are proof of that. But someone who even dares to bri..."  [+]  Reply

"No, it's not all doom and gloom on this one. Black Sabbath evolved and this album shows how much they grew. I realize this isn't their most popular album...in fact, it gets slammed by a lot of Sabbath fans. However, listen to the album for its music! It's the Black Sabbath name across the top tha..."  [+]  Reply

"The Cardiacs most fluent album. Every song flows nicely from the previous and the classic line-up were probably at their best live around this time. No real week songs and a number of live favourites such as Roger the Horse and Arnald. However, the real stand out moments are Buds and Spawn and th..."  [+]  Reply

"Yellow Moon is a good, listenable record. "With God On Our Side" makes it worth having alone, but there are good songs, vocals and playing throughout. About as good as The Neville's get."  Reply

"As an album that is described to be "curated by Kendrick Lamar", it's not surprising that nearly all the best tracks feature him. ("All the Stars", "King's Dead", "Big Shot", etc.) These songs really are enjoyable, and wouldn't even look out of place on an official Kendrick LP. There are a few th..."  [+]  Reply

"A great collection of quality songs, only the production grinds a little, the Marr, Glenister guitars in Smith's mode after a while begin to irritate. Fifteen minutes is brilliantly observed as are many tracks, perfect pop song writing with the Kristy edge."  Reply
