SoHo

 This album presents absolutely nothing exclusive, nothing that makes you shout miracle: but I like it.

 Try to imagine what would come out by mixing the Blink... and the At the Drive-in... a mess, some might say. Instead, the melodies... make this album a good representative of that punk-rock easy to disparage.

Billy Talent's self-titled debut delivers enjoyable and youthful punk rock without breaking new ground. The album combines catchy vocals and distorted guitars reminiscent of Blink-182 and At the Drive-In. While some tracks feel a bit too derivative, the overall energy and melodic hooks make it a decent listen. Lyrics are straightforward and accessible, with the dual vocals adding interest. The album earns a solid 3-star rating for its consistent but familiar sound. Listen to Billy Talent's debut and discover fresh punk rock energy with catchy tunes and engaging vocals!

 From that moment on your conception of music will change: you encounter Tremulant by The Mars Volta.

 Three gems of blinding brilliance, which almost make you forget the 'the next big thing' At The Drive-In.

The reviewer shares an emotional experience discovering The Mars Volta's Tremulant EP. The three-track EP impresses with its rare perfection, blending prog rock complexity with psychedelic lightness. The music challenges expectations and almost overshadows the band members' previous work in At The Drive-In. Overall, it marks a transformational moment in the listener's perception of music. Listen to The Mars Volta's Tremulant EP and experience a unique journey through psychedelic prog rock!
