Reviews / Album

Opening with an extended John Lydon belch, This Is PiL sees Public Image Ltd at their deranged, challenging best.

Ladies and gentleman, Hawthorne Heights are back... and it's not that impressive.

Raw and honest rock for the masses.

The Cult are still holding the torch high for rock’n’roll.

Whatever Hansard sings his total commitment to the song is inescapable and thoroughly endearing, deeply human and deeply feeling.

Tempest offers ten tracks of inimitable rawness and surprising beauty, to be played at maximum volume.

Putting a new shine on the old.

Youth, dexterity, looks, raw energy and ability – the Findlay sisters have it all.

Manson’s relevance has been detrimentally affected over the past five years, so it’s going to take some doing to regain his standing. Born Villain is a leap in the right direction.

What Cook’s original album sounds like is irrelevant. This is a whole new hypnotic beast.
