 Especially two opening songs (Kid on my Shoulder and The Pot) that alone are worth an entire album.

 A wonderful debut, fun and intelligent, from yet another New York band that hasn’t been talked about in Italy yet.

White Rabbits' debut album Fort Nightly blends a strong piano foundation with eclectic guitar influences from surf to reggae. The vocals, while not groundbreaking, are effectively supported by harmonies. The album creates dark, smoky atmospheres balanced with danceable moments, highlighted by outstanding opening tracks. This record shows great expressive potential and promises an exciting future. Listen to White Rabbits' Fort Nightly and experience a fresh, piano-led indie debut with rich atmospheres and standout tracks!

 Shellac’s records are bought sight unseen: Steve Albini is one of the few who has stripped away all unnecessary frills from the music he makes and the way he spreads it.

 A beautiful, angry, and unpleasant album, that immediately gets under your skin and doesn’t leave the listener’s battered ears.

Shellac's album 'Excellent Italian Greyhound' delivers a raw, intense listening experience marked by urgency and experimental silence. Steve Albini and bandmates continue their tradition of stripped-down, precise music seven years after their previous masterpiece. The album features varied track styles from punk aggression to hypnotic soundscapes, challenging listener expectations. It's a challenging but rewarding record for fans of uncompromising rock. Dive into the fierce world of Shellac’s 'Excellent Italian Greyhound' and experience music stripped to its raw core.

 The album is composed of ballads and anthems for acoustic guitar and voice: a genre where it’s difficult to produce something truly bad, but equally difficult to excel.

 Wow, this really is making a revolution.

The review critiques Tom Morello’s solo album 'One Man Revolution' for its generic acoustic ballads and simplistic political lyrics. The reviewer finds the promotional 'Nightwatchman Brigade' fan initiative ineffective and somewhat ridiculous. Although the album’s message is clear, the overall musical execution fails to excite. The review balances acknowledgment of the album’s intentions with skepticism about its impact. Explore Tom Morello’s One Man Revolution and decide for yourself the power of protest in music.

 The single Brianstorm pleasantly surprised me: great, brisk, with finally decent guitar sounds.

 While listening to the album, do something else that keeps 20% of your attention free (’505’ excluded, that one can be just listened to).

The reviewer approached 'Favourite Worst Nightmare' with low expectations but found some tracks like 'Brianstorm' and '505' truly impressive. While the album includes some filler and less engaging songs, it's still a solid effort with memorable riffs and rhythms. Pseudo-ballads and uneven pacing slightly detract from the overall experience. The album is best enjoyed without overanalyzing lyrics or seeking rock 'n' roll salvation. Explore Arctic Monkeys’ 'Favourite Worst Nightmare' and decide which tracks stand out for you!
