“As time goes by it becomes more and more apparent how Suede were one, if not THE most important band of the nineties. So after a few dodgy lps, it’s with some relief to report how this new album finds a re-energised, more vital Suede.
Although the tunes are not as instant as before, a pop heart still strongly beats within even if this is a more mature, wiser, darker Suede than ever. There’s even a return to some of the art-rock madness of Dog Man Star - and if that isn’t cause for celebration, I don’t know what is.
Simply put this is the best Suede have sounded since their heyday and no one can hold a candle to them when they’re on this form” September 2018

“Throughout this decade I’ve been moaning about how bad a state rock’n’roll is in. How it seems to be in irreversible decline, how it appears to be dying. No more, IDLES not only resurrect punk rock but breathe new life in to rock’n’roll. Anger of the phlegmatic kind is the tone, Snowflake Oi is the charge - less a flurry and more an avalanche.
If you hate how the 2010’s have turned out, you need this record, IDLES are an oasis of common-sense in a world slowly but surely going to pot.” August 2019

”And so the Manics continue to make great albums. Lung-busting anthems (International Blue), songs that champion fighting in the face of adversity (Liverpool Revisited), and music that swells and surges with every emotion the lyrics evoke (Distant Colours), this is a welcome return to the big music of Motorcycle Emptiness and A Design For Life.
The heart to Futurology’s brain, Resistance Is Futile is more than anyone could expect from a band this late into their career. It is brilliant.." April 2018

“Believe it or not but Blancmange’s latest is a synth-pop album the way they used to make ‘em. There are doff’s of the hat to Moroder, Depeche Mode, especially Depeche Mode, with the synths making more than a passing resemblance to the Violator era, there’s even a song called “In Your Room”!!!
But that’s only half the story with classily, seductive pop songs and thought-provoking lyrics vying for your attention. If you think Blancmange’s story ended in the mid-80’s, you couldn’t be more wrong.“ October 2018

"This is the first Franz Ferdinand album without Nick McCarthy, it is also the first one to feature a palpable change since the debut. With a more synthesised, electronic sound pushed to fore, the songs are more looser, less hard-hitting/direct than before. So it's different but Franz Ferdinand's reputation for delivering incisive, pop songs sure to buzz around your cranium remains intact." February 2018 [First added to this chart: 01/11/2018]

"Matt Elliott's Third Eye Foundation exists on it's own, it's mournful, resigned dub-step is unlikely to become highly fashionable. This music is a bit deeper than that, more humanist to ever fit in.
The second return to his post-rock alias this decade, Wake The Dead lets in more light, more hope than The Dark, but is obviously from the same author. It paints a world that owes very little to escapism but is more interested in holding a mirror up to the filth, the sadness and the destruction. So it's heavy going, but it is Punk Fucking Rock."

"It's nice to know this kind of indie hasn't died out, even if it is delivered in the form of sarcastic synth-pop with a nice line in disturbing but blackly comic lyrics - not forgetting the surreal, Hawaiian lounge-pop theme floating around.
Right now, only the (re-invigorated) MGMT are giving these guys competition for this kind of thing and that's a good thing." February 2018

"With it being his first solo release in 17 years, the album collates a large number of tracks (25 in total), often bringing to mind the ambient/trance boom of the mid-90's and that’s despite the restlessness of it all.
An ethereal/Enya-like quality even finds time to creep in, especially those featuring the vocal manipulation Carter worked on with his former TG associate, Sleazy." March 2018

“Out of all the shoegazers, the Kitchens of Distinction were the most quixotic and Patrick Fitzgerald’s latest project with ex-Wonky Alice Yves Altana shows no let up sonically. Let’s just say conventionality is binned, meaning the songs occupy a unique space that is as queer as every left-turn the music continuously makes. So be prepared for a perverse, ear-bending but adventurous excursion that has no intention of resting on it’s laurels.” October 2018 [First added to this chart: 10/29/2018]

“Re-worked and expanded edition of the original 2017 release, it still remains quite the compliment as these lo-fi, rinky-dink, synth-pop renditions pay their, er, dues.
Saul still sounds like he’s ready to collapse before the songs end and it’s hard to figure out if the originals are being grievously insulted or celebrated. It’s desperate, it’s puerile, but I like it.” October 2018
