"86 Kelela had already made a strong sensation with the release of "Take Me Apart" placing her as one of the new Alternative Rnb and Uk Bass stars, but "Raven" is a consecration of a whole new dimension. On 62 minutes, Kelela plunges us into a futuristic and synthetic adventure, filled with dark a..." [+] Reply

"“Topical Dancer” turns a little into much more. The minimal synths are weaved together into catchy focusing beats. “It hit me” transforms from a simple drum pattern into an almost industrial banger. Adigéry injects a wry wit through the album. Tongue in cheek barbs are thrown at passive aggressio..." [+] Reply
"So much good music here. "Miles Davis" and "The End" are favorites. It's ridiculously long, but I can't decide whether that adds to or detracts from its greatness. It's tough to get through the whole thing in one sitting, but taken in pieces, it's all fantastic." Reply
"Really good album. I never fell in love with Reunions (the last one). I have a feeling Weathervanes will be on repeat for me. After one listen I feel like I like it as least as much as Nashville Sound. Great songwriting. "From the gut" lyrics. Music is Isebellian - nothing that radically new soun..." [+] Reply

"The previous album was so frustrating, mainly in that it certainly felt quite personal but so musically trite and thin that it couldn't really support the emotional weight of the lyrics. This in turn feels like a much fuller and lush fleshing-out of the previous album's sound, adding in some more..." [+] Reply

"I finally understood the purpose of this song; it's a satire of the futility of the blues, of bands that only did that. Pink Floyd, to represent the absence of ideas, put the dog to sing in that style of music, and it works well too." Reply
"Is it me or are the vocals too quiet? It can be really hard to make out what the singer is saying at times." Reply

"It's the best they've sounded since Riot Act. Last Pearl Jam album I bought was self titled and I was so underwhelmed by it that I didn't get anything after it until now. Dance Of The Clairvoyants is such a killer first single IMO and people are either loving it or hating it. I love how different..." [+] Reply

"A breath of fresh air in Rock, an album to keep in mind in 2025 and to listen to more often" Reply
"Amazing album. Travis does not continue with his "Astroworld" Sound, and instead pursues a darker and more experimental sound for his 4th Studio Album. Songs like CIRCUS MAXIMUS and F!EN are very trap, and also masterpieces in their own right. LOST FOREVER with Westside Gunn has an awsome beat, a..." [+] Reply
