"If Simulation Theory was Muse trying too hard to be Muse, Will Of The People is Muse trying too hard to do something different but ending up sounding like Muse anyways. And I don't mean it as a compliment. In my opinion, from Drones on, Muse have started to drop in quality both lyrically (same ol..." [+] Reply
"K.M’s most accomplished and complete record yet demonstrating a mastery of his musical craft he’s been slowly building towards for the past five years. Clearly this is his “Breakup Album” seemingly parting ways with long time partner Katie Crutchfield aka Waxahatchee" Reply

"I loved it !! Moody and brooding yet fragile and ethereal, there's something bewitching about 'Heart Under'." Reply
"Really good for an 80s band releasing in 2022. No Small Thing is my favorite single of the year so far, it's so good and uplifting!" Reply

"Ya know....I was so stoked to hear Frusciante back in the lineup again, and hence I was really excited about what this legendary band could conjure for this album. I've tried to give this a good listen and not get caught up in the hype. I've gotta say - the musicianship (especially the chemistry ..." [+] Reply

"I found this album to be one that was straight out the blocks with a really strong start and then seemed to maybe lose its momentum a lil towards the end... still a very pleasant listen overall however, containing some real gems in the form of 'Quicksand', 'This Enchanted', 'Lights On' and 'The R..."

"Really good debut from music collective/“spud” murphy come-uppers/Corbynite rockers/Black Country New Road-but-folky Caroline. I’ve long thought just doing Dirty Three but with vocals would spell over great, but this is that and quite a bit more too; a promising new act." Reply

"As a fan of Earl since the Odd Future days, I didn't think he was capable of releasing anything less than great. Even on Feet of Clay, there were plenty of high moments within it's short run-time. As much as I've tried to get into this record, and respect it for what it is — an artist finding pea..." [+] Reply

"90s nostaglic album made with sincerity, taste, and competence. lead track Anti-glory is one of the best songs of this year, and the rest of the albums follows it up with pretty good DIY indie energy. Closing track Billy with Steve Shelley and Lee Renaldo is a great work that sounds right out of ..." [+] Reply

"One of the most joyful breezy listens I’ve had the pleasure to experience in recent times. Just the tonic for the recent global affect. This is the follow-up sound to Person Pitch that was seemingly never going to come. The harmonies and meditative melodic repetition that defined that fantastic a..." [+] Reply
