"First half is pretty corny IMO. I get that Joey didn't want his message to get lost in translation but I feel like I'm getting beat over the head. Lyrically the second half is a lot better but the production is lacking compared to the first half. I wish Joey mixed his modern sound with his 90s so..."  [+]  Reply

"Not nearly as bad as some people are saying. Obviously, different people have different tastes but the production on this album is A+. The lyrics might not be the best but I wouldn't say its so bad that it ruins the entire album. The album is called JESUS IS KING, obviously Kanye is going to be p..."  [+]  Reply

"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

"I agree, very solid debut album. I understand the lead singer, Taylor Momsen, was a child actress, but I was too old to see her in any of that kind of programming. I can't weigh in on her acting ability, but she can sing with power."  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

"I think if there was anyone who doubted Melina Duterte's ability to construct remarkable bedroom pop songs on Turn Into will likely be no longer be doubtful after Everybody Works. What mastery she has over the style(s), hell she even expands it! It's almost like a history lesson in dream pop but ..."  [+]  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

"Excellent debut continuing the current trend for all things shoegaze albeit with some motorik krautrock thrown into the mix. DIIV's reverb heavy dream-pop is nonetheless engaging at times often reminescent of Swedish nu-gazers The Radio Dept."  Reply
