"Well composed beats with beautiful instrumentation on top. This album is a peaceful listen. It is low-key electronic music, so if that is what you're into, you'll love this album. This album is about the journey more than anything. Don't expect a destination, or highlights in the middle. Just put..." [+] Reply

"Fantastic - next best thing to Pink Floyd live." Reply
"I had all but forgotten about Soulwax before discovering they’d released a new album this year, and while it’s unmistakably them, they’ve definitely evolved their style since 2005’s Nite Versions. Recorded in one take (does that make it a live album?), From Deewee is a smooth and seamless ride." [+] Reply
"Written as a tribute to the coal mining communities of South Wales, Public Service Broadcasting’s latest release does a splendid job of honouring its subject rather than simply pilfering from it for inspiration. The voices of miners and a local choir merge effortlessly with the band’s signature s..." [+] Reply
"This is a band you'd love to hate. Sometimes the music feels a bit like a parody of rock music, a bit like the Swedish The Hives, but after a while one can't be anything than impressed by their wall-of-sound sound with tracks that contain elements of both punkrock and 80's Van Halen style hardroc..."

"This is a brilliant record - an AOTY contender for me, and I say this with some confidence as a long-term fan of the band - this is their best release (IMO) in a career going back to the mid-1990s. A shot in the arm to the corpse of post-rock!" Reply

"It's a good album - the first 2-3 tracks are excellent but falls into a comfort zone from there on that it never really recovers from... Not their best (IMO) but very much worth it if you already like them." Reply

"The title track and "Arc of Bar" are great, but the rest seems to be really lacking creativity. It feels like stuff I've heard before from 4 King & Country, and even they aren't the most innovative band around. Japandroids = Canadian 4 King & Country, but minus the fact that 4 King & Country are ..." [+] Reply

"After the two great albums that Weezer released in 2014 and 2016, I was disappointed when the boys followed them up with a very average and forgettable album. There is nothing offensively bad here, but also very little that stands out. The first four tracks are all varying levels of "meh", but Be..." [+] Reply
