Review of 'A Hero's Death' by Fontaines D.C.

A Hero’s Death is a depressing album. But somehow an enjoyably depressing one.

Review of 'ENERGY' by Disclosure

ENERGY is an energetic album. END OF REVIEW.

Review of 'RTJ4' by Run the Jewels

RTJ4? iS tHaT R2D2s cOuSiN??? No numbnuts, it’s the new album from Run the Jewels...

Review of 'PLANET'S MAD' by Baauer

These are some of the most creatively filthy EDM bangers I’ve ever heard.

Review of 'Kiss My Super Bowl Ring' by The Garden

Once you get past the very very very lo-fi production, The Garden’s unique blend of grunge/grindcore/jungle/trap/funk is actually quite thrilling.

Review of 'It Is What It Is' by Thundercat

The funky bassist-singer gets serious.

Review of 'The Slow Rush' by Tame Impala

It might be time to face it. Tame Impala aren’t a rock band anymore.

Review of 'UNLOCKED' by Denzel Curry & Kenny Beats

‘I don’t like Pixar’. WHOAH, WHAT??? Zero stars.

Review of 'Part 1' and 'Part 2' of 'Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost' by Foals

I don’t have the time or patience for double albums. Foals’ decision to split their latest lengthy project into two releases – Part 1 in March and Part 2 in October – was a wise idea (they clearly had me in mind). I decided to wait until both parts were out so that I could review the complete package.

Review of 'Uknowwhatimsayin¿' by Danny Brown

Danny Brown is sounding cleaner and meaner.

Review of 'All My Heroes Are Cornballs' by JPEGMAFIA

Have I got two tabs of music playing? Has my computer crashed? No, it’s just the new JPEGMAFIA album playing.

Review of 'Zuu' by Denzel Curry

‘My momma said, ‘trust no hoe, use a rubber’.

Review of 'Igor' by Tyler, the Creator

Tyler’s new album is a grower.

Review of 'When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?' by Billie Eilish

Pop prodigy? Or just another teen artist trying to be edgy?

Review of 'thank u, next' by Ariana Grande

This is the second Ariana Grande album that I’ve genuinely enjoyed. What’s happening to me??? HELP ME!!!

Review of 'Some Rap Songs' by Earl Sweatshirt

The biggest challenge with Some Rap Songs is the lack of actual ‘songs’.

Review of 'The Wake' by Voivod

14 albums in, Voivod still sound like no other metal band.

Review of 'FM!' by Vince Staples

Vince knows how to cram a lot of energy into 22 minutes.

Review of 'Sweetener' by Ariana Grande

The ponytailed pop princess delivers playful production and positivity on her new polished LP. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Pppppppp.

Double Review: 'Acts of Fear And Love' by Slaves and 'Joy As An Act Of Resistance' by Idles

UK rock acts Slaves and Idles compete for the punk record of the year.
