"The beat for Tuscan Leather is amazing. And Hold On We're Going Home is an incredible song.. I wouldn't be surprised if he released an album of strictly R&B tracks."  Reply

Blends a phenomenal concoction of noise rock, punk and grunge and delivers it with all the sternness of a sledgehammer. The pace is fast and urgent, opening with three outstanding tracks, expanding on its sound in its middle section and dragging itself to a potent and heavy finish, particularly notable on 'Exeter' which acts as the emotional centre of the album. It's the lyrics that really impress me most; they're on point and vital, combining political themes, social issues and other observations on life in general seamlessly. Their simplicity matches the hard-edged sound of the album, conveying their meaning superbly. This feels like the album we need right now in the UK. It captures the mood many are feeling and expresses it with anger behind such opinions. Albums this relevant to the present don't come around often, making Brutalism that bit more special. What you have here is a moody, angry, shouty record that delivers itself with all the ferocity of a cannonball through a brick wall, captures the mood of its time with brilliant accuracy and ties itself together with great structure and a new sound that promises to age brilliantly and develop into something that will define the late 2010s.

Knowing this helps you to understand the sound of this album better as it sounds a fair bit like a Fleet Foxes album. This album, however, does not sound like an exact copy of a Fleet Foxes album, but you can hear the similarities. The loads of reverb and the sometimes minimalistic sound. Tillman does a very good job on this album both lyrically and musically. The songs are interesting and the lyrics are engaging. It’s overall a very good indie folk rock album and I would highly recommend checking it out. It’s not perfect, but it’s very good and especially if you’re a fan of Fleet Foxes, check it out."  [+]  Reply

I like all of the songs from 'Electric Blue' to 'We Don't Deserve Love' (the latter being a song that I love, which may be surprising given the rating that I gave the album), but the rest of the album completely fails. 'Chemistry' gets a bad rap, it's bad, but it's hardly the worst on this album. 'Creature Comfort' has the most cringe-inducing lyrics of any Arcade Fire song, and takes the most immature and simplistic view of suicide and body-image issues that I've ever heard. 'Everything Now' sounds like Butler and co. listened to 'Hey Jude' once, liked the sing-along factor, but couldn't write a song that was anywhere near as interesting -- it's concert-bait at its finest. Worse yet, imagine writing a song about a bad pun, well, Arcade Fire wrote TWO SONGS ABOUT THE SAME TERRIBLE PUN in 'Infinite Content' and 'Infinite_content', it's not even f***ing clever. I have a lot of respect for Arcade Fire, 'Funeral' is arguably the best album of the 2000s. I don't know if they surrounded themselves with yes-men, but Arcade Fire have completely missed their appeal in trying (and failing) to turn themselves into the 21st century equivalent of New Order. The main strength of Funeral was the sincerity of its songs, the way that Régine belts the chorus to 'In the backseat' is utterly heart-wrenching, yet Arcade Fire come across as full of themselves when they brag, multiple times I might add, about a girl listening to said album not committing suicide. They're not sincere or relatable anymore -- they're downright exploitative."  [+]  Reply

In many places, it uses 80s synthpop elements and re-invigorates them with the band's rougher, weirder edges to get a really addicting sound (Love Me, UGH, Paris) . In addition, there's a lot of atmosphere here -- Lostmyhead and If I Believe You are really spacious songs that grow over time to powerful climaxes. Sometimes, the concept really disappears up its own ass (the title track and Please Be Naked, in particular) and occasionally the slick 80s pop gets a little *too* cheesy (This Must Be My Dream) but overall I was impressed with this record. In its entirety, the record is somewhat of a surrealist blend of atmosphere and pure pop pleasure. Love them or hate them, they're really good at crafting tight and infectious pop tunes. If they'd trimmed off some of the excess, I think this thing could have been even better. Favorite Tracks: Lostmyhead, Paris, If I Believe You, Love Me, Somebody Else Least Favorite: I like it when you sleep for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it "  [+]  Reply

With a voice that sounds like Devendra Banhart and Lou Reed had a baby, Kurt Vile has created quite an interesting album. A great folk-rock album that has bits of multiple bands in it, but also has a uniqueness to it. Very dreamy sounding folk, which is not really something I come across often in folk music. The only other time I’ve really heard a dreamy, ethereal sound to folk music is from Fleet Foxes. And it’s been working pretty well for them. That’s why I like this album. It’s pleasant to listen to but it also has an interesting quality to it. It’s simple, but complex at the same time. And it’s quite good."  [+]  Reply
