The Foo Fighters are sounding groovy but dated.

Review of 'Music To Be Murdered By Side B' by Eminem


I can rhyme orange with banana. Oranana’.

Review of 'Ultra Mono' by Idles

Ultra Mono? MORE LIKE ULTRA MONOTONOUS. (I’m kidding - this album is far from boring. It is, however, a bit underwhelming compared to the band’s past material).

Review of 'Folklore' by Taylor Swift

 

Is sleepy folk Taylor better than upbeat pop Taylor?

Review of ‘After Hours’ by The Weeknd



Tesfaye’s new album is more tender - but also more tedious.

Review of 'Music To Be Murdered By' by Eminem


Despite containing a couple killer tracks, Em’s new album failed to murder me.

Albums I Never Got Round To Reviewing In 2019: Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles and more…



I listened to a lot of albums in 2019. However, my busy ass didn't get round to reviewing many of them. For this reason, I thought I'd catch up with a few mini-reviews of all the notable albums I missed. 

Here are all the albums I will be looking at: No. 6 Collaborations Project by Ed Sheeran, Lover by Taylor Swift, Fine Line by Harry Styles, Bubba by Kaytranada, Magdalene by FKA Twigs, There Existed An Addiction To Blood by Clipping, 1000 Gecs by 100 Gecs, We Are Not Your Kind by Slipknot, H.A.Q.Q. by Liturgy and Hidden History of the Human Race by Blood Incantation.

Review of 'Feet of Clay' by Earl Sweatshirt



What’s up with the creepy artwork? Has Earl embraced black metal? Not quite – although his latest sound is about as inaccessible as black metal.

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 'Flamagra' by Flying Lotus




FlyLo’s new fire-themed album is a hot mess.

Review of 'Hyperion' by Gesaffelstein

This album really is dark...


Aleph was action-packed. Hyperion is oddly uneventful.

Review of 'Assume Form' by James Blake



James Blake’s new album is soppier and poppier - and sadly less enjoyable.

Review of 'Kamikaze' by Eminem




Hide your kids. Hide your wife. Eminem is out to attack everyone on this new surprise album.

Double Review: 'Year of the Snitch' by Death Grips and 'Oil of Every Pearl's Un-insides' by SOPHIE




Rhythmless hip hop and undanceable EDM – these two albums are certainly challenging.

Review of ‘Masseduction’ by St. Vincent and ‘I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life’ by Tune-yards



Indie weirdo-esses St Vincent and Tune-yards both release their poppiest albums to date.

Double Review: ‘Concrete and Gold’ by The Foo Fighters and ‘As You Were’ by Liam Gallagher



When does a rock act stop being reliable and start becoming predictable?

Review of 'Villains' by Queens Of The Stone Age



QOTSA’s new album is badly-produced Bowie-worship.

Review of 'Funk Wav Bounces Vol 1' by Calvin Harris



Calvin Harris delivers a feelgood funk album with a bizarre choice of vocal guests.
