A Few Words on... Feeder - All Bright Electric
Back in 2014, Grant Nicholas released an uninspired and dull solo album that only fanned the flames for a return of Feeder, even album after album of meddling returns.
The band's ninth studio album All Bright Electric again asks whether Feeder can return to their glory days of the decades prior or simply settle with pleasing their rabid fanbase.
Lady Gaga - Joanne Review
One of my favourite reviews I've ever written was on Lady Gaga's last album ARTPOP. Whilst at the time I was besieged with a bad album (along with a few interruptions from telephone scammers), it appears I wasn't the only one who thought the album was pretty dire.
But with every cloud, the silver lining was ARTPOP inspired me to do something different and, because of how bad it was, I had ample material to draw upon, even as I hammered away with the album still making it's first play.
A Few Words on... King of Leon - WALLS
Whilst Kings of Leon have been nothing short of a major success story (with five consecutive number one's in the UK anyway), whether it's their more mainstream sound or the fact that their last two albums have been progressively decreasing in quality has rubbed people up the wrong way.
