"This is great, how come I've only just found out about it. Lucky guys getting to record with these legendary musicians and I'm not on about white and jones, although they are good on here."Reply
"Fantastic Norwegian metal. First track has pummeling drums which gives an indication that it's going down a bit of a black metal road. This is not the case. From track 2 onward sets the tone of the album. Heavy as fuck but with the rhythms and riffs of classic metal. Top notch metal album."Reply

Whilst it is less common these days it still happens with artists such as King Gizzard and Guided By Voices but the the difference with these albums is they actually aren’t very good unlike the 60’s contemporaries
Fast forward 50 years to 2019 and not only did we have 2 artist release 2 albums this year but the 4 albums are quite awesome and of course I am talking about Big Thief’s ‘U.F.O.F’ / ‘Big Hands’ and Foals ‘E.N.S.W.B.L Parts 1 and 2 ‘
If this is going to be a growing trend in modern music then I’m all for it
Oh and be sure to check out the amazing collection of videos Foals have assembled to accompany Parts 1 and 2 . Visual art at it’s very finest

The record feels very bare and not a lot really happens on most of the songs. There is only a couple of tracks that I would pick out and listen to again after this record and most of the other ones are pretty pointless. It is just quite a boring release and it is very hard to stay focused on the album. It isn't because it is just him and a guitar either because that has been done before on a record to a very interesting and entertaining degree but on here it just doesn't click for me. However, the way he plays guitar is very impressive as you can tell he has a very soft and smooth approach to playing his music. Overall, an influential album doesn't always mean it is good and I think this is one of those records as there is no reason to really revisit this release for me. "[+]Reply
"I haven't listened to this tape (yes, a tape!) in over 25 years! I dug it out of my tape collection (which I thankfully kept) this evening, it sounds as good, if not better now, than it did all those years ago. At that time it got a lot of play in the car stereo! Listening to it on a quality audi...""I haven't listened to this tape (yes, a tape!) in over 25 years! I dug it out of my tape collection (which I thankfully kept) this evening, it sounds as good, if not better now, than it did all those years ago. At that time it got a lot of play in the car stereo! Listening to it on a quality audio system is a whole new experience. Moments of free form jazz mixed with almost 'progressive' rock coupled with Latin American influences make this a rewarding listen. This album always reminds me of summer! "[+]Reply
"She is showing so much growth as an artist on this album. She is almost at that point where I feel everyone will give her the respect she deserves. Almost there."Reply
"This is as good as an alternative country album can be. A haunting voice leads one of the best debuts from 2019 and shows potential to be one of the 2020's defining artists. The whole album is incredible but Roses Are Falling, Turn To Hate and Winds Change would be the standouts with Turn To Hate...""This is as good as an alternative country album can be. A haunting voice leads one of the best debuts from 2019 and shows potential to be one of the 2020's defining artists. The whole album is incredible but Roses Are Falling, Turn To Hate and Winds Change would be the standouts with Turn To Hate on a shortlist of best songs of the year.
This is also a must listen while playing Red Dead Redemption. "[+]Reply
"I've listened to this album a couple of times by now. It's definitely one of the stronger efforts from this year's album outputs. Baths create a thick fog of dark electronic and experimental sounds. I especially love the track Earth Death, it has a really dark midnight vibe to it."Reply
"Here we go, J. Cole, everyone has something to say when his name is being brought up. Where does one even begin? He’s been one of the biggest names of hip hop for a decade now, probably the most polarising rapper of his generation.

He’s been one of the biggest names of hip hop for a decade now, probably the most polarising rapper of his generation. There’s a good chance someone will tell you he is better than Kendrick (or even sidestep any comparisons and proclaim him the G.O.A.T) or that he is worse than Drake ( no offense to Drake, it’s just that a surprisingly large amount of people that take part in such debates barely know another rapper, so these two are the most common points of reference, lol). As it happens more often than not in similar cases, in my opinion the truth lies somewhere in the middle - boring, I know. He is a good rapper, I wouldn't call that in question, but hardly anything beyond that, the word bland perfectly characterises him. I’d go as far as to say he’s been constantly deteriorating in that regard and here he may have reached his peak. Allow me a couple of flashbacks, In 2014 Forest Hills Drive he opened up, showing a vulnerable side of himself, using his own journey as a means to deliver some universal messages. It wasn't hard to spot some flaws, in an attempt to become relatable he did get too personal in an awkward way, but at least he tried – and the jazzy laid-back sound was ear-pleasing if nothing else. 4 Your Eyez Only saw him getting more ambitious, both in terms of production, where some modern touches were added to his typical sound, but mostly in terms of the narrative, featuring story arcs that don’t restrict themselves to one song, but unfold over the entire album. Again, saying he fell short of creating a masterpiece would be an understatement, but you couldn’t blame him that much. And then (fast forward to the present , conveniently skipping some of his "lesser" albums) came The Off-Season. The basic premiss of this record is obvious simply by looking at the title: he took his time during the off-season (it's noteworthy that the sport references remain a thing throughout the album, which are almost always a positive in my book) to prepare, improve, focus on his goal and come back better than ever. Well, after listening to this, it’s fair to say it did him more harm than good. Production wise, he’s fully immersed in a modern, kinda generic trap based sound, while his performance is also dangerously close to forgettable when it comes to either rapping or lyrics. So, yeah, all this quite possibly unnecessary and undoubtedly overly long introduction just to say that his previous albums displayed some effort, no matter how the final product sounded like, while this is disappointingly indolent."[+]Reply
