Review of "Settle" by Disclosure


WATCH VIDEO REVIEW HERE

I've heard people trying to classify this album into a neat genre. Is it garage? Is it deep house? Is it dance-pop? Is it UK Funky? What even is UK funky?

Review of "The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here" by Alice in Chains


WATCH VIDEO REVIEW HERE


I didn't expect this album to blow me away. The passion-filled grunge/metal vocals of ex-lead singer, Layne Staley, were what made Alice in Chains so damn good and I saw little chance of the band resurrecting him for an album.

WATCH VIDEO REVIEW HERE

Gangsta Rapper and pot connoisseur, Snoop Dogg, has recently discovered Rastafarianism and now he thinks he's Bob Marley. 

Review of "Wolf" by Tyler, the Creator



 “Kill people, burn shit, fuck school”. The lyrical shock value on Tyler's previous album was cornily over the top. The young rapper has now returned with, Wolf, his third album. Whilst by no means sweet and innocent, the album feels so much more, dare I say it, “mature”.

Review of "Comedown Machine" by The Strokes



Change is very much a marmite concept. Some people like change. Some people hate it (mainly old people). 

Review of "The Terror" by The Flaming Lips




Psychedelic rock band, The Flaming Lips, have always had experimental tendencies. But this album sees them venturing onto a whole new plain of reality.
