Between the basic flows, uninteresting lyricism, and ridiculous “singing” that’s barely masked by the auto-tune it’s slathered in, I’m honestly not finding much of anything to like about the new Future record. The beats are decent sometimes…
tUnE-yArDs’ latest record is just the fun, eccentric, and wild shot pop music needed in 2014.
Lord Mantis’ latest record bring noise and ambitious songwriting into the fold of their heavy, blackened sludge.
Pixies return with a textbook example of a disappointing comeback record.
New York hip hop legend returns with P.T.S.D., following up the lackluster W.A.R. with a more solid project.
John Frusciante comes through with another demo-quality dud with Enclosure.
Chet Faker brings together a few decent songs and instrumentals on this debut album of his, and while he’s a capable producer, he falls horrifically short as a singer, in my opinion.
While the Hotelier’s latest effort stays true to the emo archetype, and delivers some good production, the band’s approach still remains pretty nondescript for the genre.
The new single from George Lewis Jr., a.k.a. Twin Shadow, is pure power ballad mimicry. You might dig it if, you know, you’re into that sorta thing.
Toronto’s Thantifaxath have come through with one of the most ferocious, explosive, and well-recorded black metal records you’re sure to hear this year. There’s a slight prog rock tinge to the songwriting, too.
