Reviews / Album

Bullshit-free hardcore/metal that keeps the pace up.

Me Moan stands as a strange document of Daughn Gibson’s unlikely ascendency to pop icon. Let’s hope he goes back to his roots a little more – all hell may indeed break loose

If only the weak songs had been edited out this would be one top shelf album

This compilation evidences that the artists signed to Ed Banger continue to evolve beyond the influential electro bangers that made them famous in the first place. It will be interesting to see what the crew will give us in the next ten years

Sadly, Momentum does fall short at some points when overproduction masks Cullum’s unique voice and clever songwriting. Nevertheless, an album so layered and so creatively done still manages to captivate

Too many areas within the album highlight that less is most definitely more

Beautiful and well-rounded, Ngaiire’s Lamentations is a mature and evocative debut.

The 11 tracks contained within the album are considerably less adventurous, adhering diligently to straight-up no-frills rock’n’roll without attempting to stamp any unique approach to the material

Despite changing their sound to something that is currently more ‘listener friendly’, Sleep Parade have maintained and improved their ability to write and produce tracks that are memorable

The strange thing about Amelita is that the production – while incredibly professional – doesn’t allow the great songs to breathe and stand out. There is a sameness that keeps the sisters a little too subdued, and it’s really only on Phoebe and Rock All Night that the girls get to rock out
