 Ten tracks built on a melodic electronic carpet made of drum beats and keyboards on which Gibbard’s voice and lyrics create romantic and positive atmospheres that are a pleasure to immerse oneself in.

 Without a doubt one of the most interesting of the latest American independent scene.

 "If you are looking for someone capable of reviving sacred monsters of that caliber in a modern key, the Audio Bullys are not for you."

 "Ego War is a big pot where 10 years of English dance music are cleverly mixed... all elements blended without a hint of personal touch or interesting insight."

The review harshly criticizes Audio Bullys' debut album Ego War for being overhyped and lacking originality. It dismisses the album as a patchwork of past dance styles without personal insight. The reviewer finds the press praise exaggerated and believes the album fails to innovate or revive classic influences effectively. Overall, it's seen as a disappointing release despite its danceable beats. Read this candid review before diving into Audio Bullys' Ego War and decide if it lives up to the hype.

 The Coral is a brilliant, sunny, excellently played album showcasing a vast musical background that you can hardly believe belongs to just one band.

 Zero points of reference, every attempt to classify them failed, the only thing we are allowed to do is sit on that usual couch, admired, and why not, even a bit envious of so much youthful talent.

The Coral's debut album impresses with the exceptional talent of a very young Liverpool band. Their music blends diverse influences from Nick Cave to Bob Marley, creating a unique, sunny sound.

The author expresses admiration mixed with envy for the band's remarkable skills. Listen to The Coral's debut album and experience their unique blend of youthful energy and timeless influences.

 Boomslang is an album past its prime, a pointless expression of a genre appreciated in its few years of life but never so much missed once it was exhausted.

 No student ever surpassed the masters, but here Marr has quoted, copied, aped the same English groups that not even a decade ago he helped to nurture.

Johnny Marr's Boomslang fails to capture the innovation seen in his work with The Smiths. The album is heavily derivative of 1990s Britpop bands and lacks originality. Despite flawless musicianship, the songwriting and vocals feel uninspired. Boomslang comes across as an outdated and unnecessary addition to Marr's catalog. Discover why Johnny Marr's Boomslang missed the mark—read the full review and explore its Britpop echoes now.

 Right from the opening track, Liars demand everyone’s attention.

 This is not an album for everyone, but it will certainly interest those who thought they’d lost the chance to hear this genre adapted to our times.

Liars' debut album delivers a powerful and raw homage to 1980s indie garage rock. The NYC band refuses mainstream trends, focusing on a chaotic, lo-fi style influenced by groups like Minutemen and Sonic Youth. Their music features ironic titles, unconventional song structures, and energetic, shouted vocals. Although not for everyone, the album is a fresh dive into underground rock for fans seeking something authentic and intense. Listen to Liars’ intense debut and experience the raw energy of indie garage reinvented.

 "Amore Del Tropico... alternates the inevitable dark and slow sounds with sudden, more energetic and sunny variations."
