"I never thought I woud actually enjoy this album, but I did! It took a couple of listens, but i really enjoyed this! Fav track: Angel Haïti Worst track: Bliss and stupidity" 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
"I was sceptical when I first went into this album as I wasn't sure if the group could capture the same magic they had on their record they released this year but I was very quickly proven wrong. As soon as the vocal kicked in on Polaris all my doubts went away as I got once again completely lost ..." [+] Reply
"Good! Stylistically diverse with plenty of stylistic choices. Kinda wears thin by the end, but a lot of fun." Reply

"Hval tries a more "fun" album following the dark and mesmerising Menneskekollektivet. Though I'm cetainly partial to a bit of Hval, I've followed her for most of her discography, Classic Objects is one of the most listenable projects she's done, maybe even more so than Apocalypse Now and The Long..."

"(On one hand this is just another King Gizzard album and the third in their series of albums exploring their brilliant microtonal experimentations, on the other hand more of a good to great thing is, well, good to great!) I remember a few years back when Flying Microtonal Banana dropped King Gizz..." [+] Reply

"This is a fantastic noise-pop album. I know it's not grounbraking, but music doesn't have to be groundbraking all the time. The melodies are beautiful, the somewhat heavy instrumentation and the smooth classical keyboards are awesome. Simply awesome musicianship in this debut. Too soon, I know, b..." [+] Reply
"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

"Glad I got to this one. I've missed proper post rock/slowcore. Scratches the itch of an Idaho or Early Day Miners while also just surprising me at every turn. A fantastic reinvention from Racing Mount Pleasant." Reply
