Morrissey - California Son Review

So, how do you follow up a decent album in 2017 where your controversy continues to follow you like a dog without a lead?

Morrissey - Low in High School Review

When people ask me about my opinions on Morrissey, I normally joke and and reply where do they want me to start? For a career forever courting, embedded or shrouded in controversy, I find the modern day trope of cancellation of him quite amusing, doubly so that if anyone was genuine in wanting rid of him, then surely paying no attention to him would do more damage (although recent tour stats for tickets indicate this is already the case).

A Few Words on...Billie Eilish – WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?

Here we go folks, grab your popcorn, grab a piece of stromboli, get ready for a hot take, here we go.

I don’t get it.

A Few Words on...Biffy Clyro - Balance, Not Symmetry

Back in 2015, Biffy Clyro released Ellipsis, an album utterly forgettable at times and easily their worst release in a decade. Whilst commendable for experimenting with their sound of time signature changes, obtuse lyrics and complex chords, Ellipsis incorporated a more mainstream sound which, nonsurprisingly made the album far too generic.

A Few Words on...Ariana Grandé - thank u, next

Confession time, I have never listened to an Ariana Grandé album prior to this one, quelle surprise, blahblahblah.

A Few Words on...American Football - American Football LP3

American Football’s 3rd album (and 2nd since their comeback a few years ago) showcases a much more expansive and creatively more varied sound, even more so than their long overdue comeback.

Gorillaz - Humanz Review

To say the world, let alone just the music industry has changed dramatically since 2010 is an understatement.

Disney was earning megabucks with films, only it wasn't superheroes and Star Wars, Robbie Williams rejoined Take That to starve off the midlife crisis on mum's everywhere, Suede and Pulp got their bands back together in the fall of Oasis dying the previous year and, linking us back to why you're here in the first place, it was the last time virtual band Gorillaz released not one, not three, but two albums.

In the gap between The Fall and now, Albarn has kept busy, reuniting his original moneymaking band Blur to a surprisingly good return with The Magic Whip, he brought out a sombre solo album which again, was pretty good and, for Gorillaz fans, he got into an argument with Gorillaz' other half Jamie Hewlett and subsequently put the band on hiatus, possibly for keeps.
