The Reviews Are In

We rate the latest albums

Spanish GoldSouth Of Nowhere

"You'll be wishing you could splice a few other bands together to form a sound as smooth as Spanish Gold's."

Linkin Park The Hunting Party

"Guilty All The Same and Until It's Gone are accessible, unsurprising choices for singles, but, much like this record, neither holds a candle to anything on Hybrid Theory or Meteora."

Ed Sheeran X

"At its best, it's vaguely insightful lyricism on broken hearts."

Eno HydeHigh Life

"This time around Eno and Hyde have opted for less of a sound clash, turning out a more straightforward whiteboy Afrobeat funky sound awash with a distinctly English experimental sensibility."

5 Seconds To Summer5 Seconds To Summer

"There's not much to the pop-punk formula, and 5SOS aren't reinventing it."

Lana Del ReyUltraviolence

"Overall a beautifully dark and cinematic affair, sure to keep the legions of followers well intact."

Every Time I DieFrom Parts Unknown

"From Parts Unknown is like a bolt of lightning hitting the fuse of a rocket up your arse.”

David GrayMutineers

"Mutineers is somehow simple and elegant, while also extravagant and grand."

Modern BaseballYou're Gonna Miss It All

"Through light-hearted wit and deadpan, honest storytelling, Brendan Lukens shares with us all his neuroticism, frustration and sadness."

Confession Life And Death

"Fuck Cancer is a sonic ground zero, although the likes of string-infused March 23 showcase a sensibility rarely noted in the past amidst the bludgeoning."
