Album Review: Sarm - Sarm
It’s worth checking out Sarm for the Nebs. It’s worth buying Sarm for the Sarm.

Album Review: Tyler, The Creator - Wolf
Wolf is as close as we’ve heard to a fulfillment of Tyler’s promise. He’s abandoned most of the silly theatrics and learned to find value in the little things.

Album Review: Bryte - Bryte Side Of Life
Having spent some time with this album, we think we’re happier in The Man’s Orwellian nightmare world than we would be in whatever Bryte’s alternative might be.

Album Review: Lil' Wayne - I Am Not A Human Being II
This album is further proof. It is the sort of thing one might disown, given the chance.

Album Review: Major Lazer - Free The Universe
Diplo, now the only ‘real’ Lazer left after Switch’s departure in 2011, has come up with a masterpiece here. Let’s hope the third is not so delayed.

Album Review: The Tongue - Surrender To Victory
The Tongue’s defining feature is his courage. As a younger man he entered MC battles dressed as Osama Bin Laden.

Album Review: Jackie Onassis - Holiday
This is more of that Fort Street magic, it seems. Those school reunions must be pretty special.

Album Review: Fraksha - My Way
Frak’s confidence and charisma invite you to fall into his world. If only we could call it ‘real’.

Album Review: Spit Syndicate - Sunday Gentlemen
With this album, they have squeezed every ounce from their spare moments and emerged with a gem.
Reviews / Live
Live Review: Weezer, Cloud Control & Ball Park Music
The show we had hoped for had happened. We had travelled back in time, if only for 45 impossible minutes.

Album Review: A$AP Rocky - Long.Live.A$AP
Perhaps his dimness is his genius. Without it, maybe, we wouldn’t have albums like this. And that would be a tragedy. Wonderful stuff.

Album Review: The Game - Jesus Piece
The Game’s very desperation for recognition has made that recognition impossible.
