"The slow burn buzz around this band continues to grow and with this album number 4 for good reason If you are enjoying this album check out their 2018 ‘Shadow on Everything’ release it’s just as good with that rich gothic vibe in spades" Reply

"Enjoyable listen. Fun and dancey. I can hear elements of Joy Division and The Cure but I'm not that well-versed in 80s music." Reply

"22 years in the making! Huge surprise finding out about this comeback album by Hum. It's really good! Its a more epic version of themselves. Like a darker more progressive version of themselves." Reply

"I’m struggling to understand why this album was so poorly received, sure it’s no “I’m Wide Awake” and there a couple of duds in the track list but it’s still a very strong work. Songs like Dance and Sing, Mariana Trench, Pan and Broom, Persona Non Grata, Tilt-a-Whirl, and To Death's Heart rank as..." [+] Reply
"Her most consistent and fully realised project to date. It's a grey-on-pink, Star Trek sci-fi meets Drag Race camp whirlwind, with a sound completely in love with the early 90s. Gaga arrived blazing into the pop world preaching self love and expression; now, however, she's turned that message on ..." [+] Reply

"The Beths return with their sophomore effort, released in the wake of their refreshingly strong debut. Jump Rope Gazers provides a sound and energy very similar to he one in the debut and stays mostly in safe waters. This album is much of the same in terms of sound and lyrics, but also shows the ..."

"Mestarin Kynsi succeeds in its variance. The long time lengths allow for the songs to move in interesting and diverse directions. Each track is granted a unique structure and instrumentation. "Uusi Teknokratia" mixes synths, guitars and pan flute into a ten minute epic. On a less favorable note, ..." [+] Reply
