"I'm kinda obsessed. This is so good. Disarmingly honest lyrics about romantic relationships, queer awakenings and becoming your true self. On top of that, amazing hooks and her voice is excellent. Add to that some polished production, and you've got a really winning pop album" Reply

"what a big surprise, I didn't know this band. I'll have to listen to it more times to be sure, but I think this album really is a masterpiece. It goes straight into my top five in 2023." Reply

"I've put off listening to 'Guts' for a while, purely just because of how much an album like this inevitably gets overhyped by the media, and by friends raving on about how I should listen to it. Once the dust has settled, I like to try and form my own opinion... and it's pretty much as I expected..." [+] Reply

"If there exists a person who simultaneously has heard the term "5th Wave of Emo" and thinks it's not arrived, they surely do now. "Dream-pop" never went out of style per se, but it has become an increasingly amorphous definition. A term coined by one of Shoegaze's few POC artists has come to cove..." [+] Reply

"An emotional album. Definitely Grohl’s most ambitious album lyrically. Unfortunately, musically it is very bland and uninteresting. Not much to grab on to melodically. Still has some powerful moments attached to grief and loss." Reply

"Ethereal and brilliant. PJ Harvey pulls off the trick of sounding unlike anything else she has released, but distinctively her." Reply

"I knew this album was going to be good after the singles were certified modern rock classics. What I wasn't expecting was the extremely intimate, and moving closing moments." Reply

"Their 2018 album was my favorite of that year. This one is great but I don't think I like it as much. It's definitely more emotional and spiritual but not as fun. It will probably stay pretty high in 2023 at least and was my most anticipated album this year. My expectations were pretty high and f..." [+] Reply
