Strange guys these Supergrass: they don’t take anything seriously, they have fun and make others have fun, then, more importantly, they know how to play and write beautiful songs. Supergrass are the Libertines in an embryonic state, with a rougher technique, less direct, but sometimes softer and more beautiful sounds.

The reverend is back. But he doesn’t scare anyone anymore. Midway through the album, the ears seek political asylum in the brain.

This review critiques Marilyn Manson’s fifth album, The Golden Age Of Grotesque, as uninspired and repetitive compared to his earlier works. While the production and electronic elements remain polished, the album lacks innovation and excitement. The reviewer reminisces on the artist’s past bold and aggressive style but finds the new work tedious and derivative. Ultimately, it’s described as fitting only for action movie soundtracks rather than genuine musical enjoyment. Discover why The Golden Age Of Grotesque marked a turning point—read the full review and listen to the album to decide for yourself.
The sound of the British band is much more aggressive, the ballads give way to songs structured in a more complex way. Those who liked Love Is Here will not be disappointed at all with its follow-up, which is much more engaging.

Perhaps it remains the last U2 album to have a soul: not too caught up in market rules, the grandeur of tours, and the lack of ideas that is noticeable lately in some of their latest works. Recorded between Berlin and Dublin, precisely to capture the emotions that a people were experiencing after the fall of a cursed wall.

All the best of 90s English rock in just 4 songs; these guys had absorbed all the beauty music had to offer a few years earlier and reworked it, adding an indescribable sadness and something cold, as candid as Swedish snow. The lyrics are literally beautiful and poetic in the purest sense of the word, as you no longer hear in the current rock scene.

Days tasting like dust and that persistent insistence on wanting to suffer for everything because it’s only with pain that starts from within that you reach the ultimate limit of closeness to the soul. If you’ve never cried to the notes of something, this is just the right time to start, and no questions are allowed, which, in the end, only serve to prolong the wait for our primordial scream.

The first thing you notice from the first listen is that the Indian influences... have been completely abandoned. For die-hard Kula Shaker fans like myself, this album is a welcome surprise that somewhat soothes the anger of seeing their favorite band die.

The Jeevas' debut album '1, 2, 3, 4' marks Crispian Mills' transition from Kula Shaker with a stripped-down, retro-inspired sound.

Despite lacking originality, every track holds its own and is perfect for fans missing Kula Shaker. The album reflects Mills' clear vocals and embraces classic rock instrumentation, including the Farfisa organ. Discover The Jeevas' nostalgic rock sound—listen now and dive into Crispian Mills' fresh musical journey!
Faces Down dives into something that no one (except, perhaps, Beck Hansen) can decently do anymore: mixing styles to the fullest. If this artist were born in Great Britain, the English would have made such a fuss, putting him even in breakfast cereal boxes.

"Don't Look Back Into The Sun' is not a powerful track, it is not a punk track, it is just a pop-song marred by a slight rock edge." "'I Get Along' remains the best track where truly rock'n'roll music is driven to the maximum by a frenetic text."

This review of The Libertines' I Get Along E.P. highlights disappointment with the lead single 'Don't Look Back Into The Sun' due to its pop and brit-pop influences. Mick Jones-produced tracks, especially 'I Get Along,' stand out with a genuine rock'n'roll vibe. However, the chaotic ending track detracts from the overall quality. Fans are advised to revisit the band's debut album 'Up The Bracket' for a better experience. Discover the highs and lows of The Libertines' I Get Along E.P. and explore their acclaimed debut album now!
