"It’s been a long time coming but it sounds like Foals have finally come of age, whereas previous lps have been over-long with non-descript fillers cropping up with alarming regularity, this is the most focused they’ve sounded yet. UK indie 2019 has become a barren lonely place, so it’s nice to se..."  [+]  Reply

"A winding record filled with some of Alex's most twisted experiments alongside his most triumphant songs. Just as quirky as his past output, House of Sugar features tacky synth sounds, odd pitched vocals, and strange circular melodies mixed with straightforward acoustic ballads and passages of sl..."  [+]  Reply

"Not as good as TA13OO imo, but it's straight fire. Shorter (only 29 minutes), more to the point and much more upbeat and hard-hitting. However I find TA13OO to be a more engaging listen, although both albums are excellent. Cannot wait to hear more from Denzel!"  Reply

"This album may be Brockhampton's most focused album to date but that doesn't make it their best or even good necessarily. Like on previous projects different members stick out in different ways than they have before. In my opinion, Bearface and Kevin continue to be the best to feature vocals in t..."  [+]  Reply

"Carly's big-picture album, the tracks are pretty seamlessly woven together making it her most atmospheric and sonically cohesive album to date. So why do I rarely feel elated while listening, or find myself humming any favorite tunes in particular? It's a worthy next-step artistically for Carly t..."  [+]  Reply

"Overstuffed, and there are some real bumps in the road in the tracklisting - ME!, You Need to Calm Down (lyrically), The Man - but this is a super enjoyable pop album. It feels assured and confident, and features some of Swift's best songwriting yet. The production is generally really lush and co..."  [+]  Reply

"Like an XXX-era Danny Brown if he was raised on tea and biscuits in a Northampton council estate. And that's not an arbitrary comparison. When I first listened to Nothing Great About Britain, the yelping raps, bipolar tones and erratic production instantly had me picturing a younger Danny Brown. ..."  [+]  Reply

"This record's so great at building an effortlessly dreamlike landscape. Most of the tracks here are little more than a repetitive guitar with vocals, but the way the two go together works on every track. Jessica's voice is the main factor holding everything together, it takes a short while to get..."  [+]  Reply

"I agree that it is the same song over and over for an hour, but goddamn is it a fucking great song. There's not a ton of dynamic range, but Callahan finds new layers and ideas track after track. If you want a beautiful, poignant folk epic, this one doesn't disappoint."  Reply

"Sound & Fury is obviously a huge shift for Sturgill Simpson. Its sort of a throwback record to 80s rock, but there are some other elements in there too. Good album to play loud. I just found there are only 3-4 songs on the album that are memorable at all. Its a change that doesn't bother me, but ..."  [+]  Reply
