"Absolutely stunning in so many places, it is basically the same contrast they did in White Light from the Mouth on Infinity; grandiose loud walls of sound pitted against dreamy folk (albeit this time the loud bits are even louder, and there is now an overt country tinge to the folk bits) The one ..."

"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
"I can understand the backlash directed toward this album: Within Temptation's fusion of 80s pop rock and 00s symphonic metal is now complete. Still, it's a collection of consistent songs with quite a few standout moments. It's a concept album, but the story - like most concept albums - is impenet..." [+] Reply
"Very good solo record. It runs slightly out of steam towards the end but for the most part it's a solid and eclectic album with nods to pop, soul, blues, jazz and rock." Reply

"Dinosaur Jr. is one of those bands that, when they release an album, you know what you’re going to get. They’ve been together since 1984 and they’ve always remained true to themselves. They’ve been through hair metal, grunge, 90s alternative, those awkward, like, five years that emo was popular, ..." [+] Reply

"I only stumbled across this band in 2021 with A Fever Dream and I loved that. This album started and initially I hated it until it got to the middle set of songs and I warmed to them. Even the first 3 or 4 listens I was still feeling no love for the opening half - suddenly something clicked and I..." [+] Reply

"Talking to cat's, breakdowns in a tent, asking your doctor what their favourite band is, and worrying about the minutae of day-to-day life constitute the lyrical preoccupation's of this album. However, it is not sweetly sung, rather screamed, howled, and shouted whilst a roiling sea of noise swir..." [+] Reply

"The record Dave Grohl referred to as Motorhead doing Sgt Pepper. Much better than Sonic Highways indeed. Most out of left field Foo Fighters album possibly ever. It's very different for them. Huge Beatles vibe to it. I'm actually in love with that aspect of this. This, to me, is probably the reco..." [+] Reply
