"I adored Chat Pile's first few EPs at the end of the last decade, but their widely-acclaimed 2022 debut God's Country was a little stale for me, as they lost their early urgency with some unadventurous instrumental work. Not so here; the band's songwriting is brilliantly intoxicating, as nightmar..."  [+]  Reply

"Compared to the EPs and singles that they released in the four years prior to this, it is a bit of a disappointment. I adored everything they did up until this album, I hadn't been as excited about a new band in a long time. The sound doesn't quite have the same magic of those first songs they wr..."  [+]  Reply

"A couple years later and I certainly have changed my opinion from that previously commented. There are still a few bangers as previously listed, but the rest of the album although thoughful and express meaningful commentary, they're just not that powerful enough both lyrically & musically. None o..."  [+]  Reply

"Now 26 albums deep, King Gizz intentionally returns to the boogie stylings of 2019's Fishing for Fishies to mine for more golden nuggets. Don't mistake this repetitious decision for an out-of-ideas misstep; this collection of fresh tunes flows as well as anything else in their catalog and is a we..."  [+]  Reply

"Album Rating: 86.00 (344/4) Maruja (CW - UK - Apr 24) - Connla's Well 26.04.2024 More psychedelic-jazz-rock from the banks of the muddy Medlock. It's more mature than the 2023 EP 'Knocknarea' but doesn't quite reach that level, other than on the powerful 'The Invisible Man'. 1.Maruja (CW - UK - A..."  [+]  Reply

"Richie Faulkner's guitar playing really shines on this album. It gives you that 1970's and 1980's Judas Priest feel to it. Rob Halford, as usual is the Metal God. Great vocals as always. The drumming by Scott Travis is also superb and helps to drive every song deep into metal madness. If you are ..."  [+]  Reply
