Reviews / Album

It’s the title track and closer, based upon a poem written by De Heer’s grandfather, that’s the real standout on the record.

Albarn strips down and gets personal.

Crazy and melodic at all the right times laced with emotion and power unmatched in this scene.

War Eternal fits nicely into the classic Arch Enemy mould with the smallest of changes.

While sultry, AutoTuned vocals in the chorus of Patty Mills reveal R&B flair, their weedy, haze-drenched single Rose Water truly confirms this is a pair to watch.

Anyone looking for some experimental pop will find much to love about this Afro-beat revival psych-pop groover.

Though it won’t take him back to the top, Animal Ambition has its enjoyable moments.
