The review discusses Algiers' 2023 album 'Shook', highlighting its dense mixture of genres like punk, hip-hop, and gospel. While the album features many guest artists, it feels more like a collective effort than a true Algiers record, with less captivating vocals from Franklin James Fisher. The reviewer finds the 55-minute runtime somewhat tiring and mixed in impact but recognizes its thematic strength. Dive into Algiers' 'Shook' and explore its bold fusion of genres and themes – listen now and decide if it moves you.

 Glenn Branca, 10 years late, releases an EP 25 years ahead.

 The second track is a controlled chaos, at times lysergic.

The EP's first track features repetitive, Tubular Bells-like guitars, while the second track delivers controlled, lysergic dissonance. Though intense and challenging, the reviewer appreciates its unique qualities despite personal fatigue after listening. Dive into Glenn Branca's innovative 'Lesson No. 1' and experience a milestone in experimental music today!

 "Comfortably Numb" is included, eliminating "Eclipse," which honestly was a bit of a drag that all the good critics say is the weak track.

This review delivers a humorous and ironic perspective on the highly anticipated 50th Anniversary Box Set of Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon.

 The production is heavy, there is an overabundance of strings and pompous sycophantic choruses seeking easy applause.

 Bruce's album deserves an honest 6.5/10 and let no one dare even compare Only the Strong Survive to the Seeger sessions.

This review takes a critical look at Bruce Springsteen's 'Only the Strong Survive,' a soul covers album.
