Album review
Album Review: Dungen – Allas Sak
Is Dungen's Allas Sak a psychedelic rock album? Or, is Allas Sak a sensitive folk record? Kevin doesn't know. Either way its a temporary listen.
Album Review: Lana Del Rey – Honeymoon
Lana Del Rey's proverbial Honeymoon of established popularity is over and all the listener is left with is a bland tapestry of predictable pillow talk.
Album Review: Immortal Bird – Empress/Abscess
Immortal Bird lists burning bridges and holding grudges as influences for which makes sense. There is some serious venom in the music on Empress/Abscess.
Twenty One Pilots: Puppets of a Soulless Music Industry
If you believe that Twenty One Pilots are anything but puppets of a soulless music industry then Mediocre At Best may be the album of the year for you.
Record Review: Kuedo – Assertion of a Surrounding Presence
Kuedo's Assertion of a Surrounding Presence may only be 7 tracks long, but it’s ability to make you feel like you’re in a totally different world.
Album Review: Slayer – Repentless
No longer does Slayer sound like they're performing live from the bowels of Hell itself, but more like rehearsing in an apartment in Drumpf Towers.
Album Review: Gaytheist + Rabbits – Gay*Bits
Gaytheist + Rabbits have a kinship that make a collaboration feel organic, but sounds are different which ensures that Gay*Bits never feels repetitive.
Album Review: Foals – What Went Down
Foals' 'What Went Down' is an often brilliant, often hungry album that refines its ideas while remaining a blast of fresh air.
Album Review: Hate Eternal – Infernus
Infernus is another solid album in Hate Eternal’s discography, and the opening three tracks, title track, and album closer are worth the price of admission.
