Rose Elinor Dougall
Album review by on 2012-01-15

Straightforward indie-pop, or is this something more?
The Devil's Blood
Album review by on 2012-01-13

Christ or cocaine, The Devil’s Blood is a stronger fix than both.
Gabrielle Aplin
Album review by on 2012-01-11

More of the same (great) stuff from Somerset's prized pop starlet.
The Big Pink
Album review by on 2012-01-09

The Big Pink scale down the style on which they were founded and turn the epic factor up...way up.
Lagwagon
Album review by Trey on 2012-01-06

This is the version of Duh that every fan will want to own.
Opeth
Album review by on 2012-01-04

Having a dream doesn’t necessarily mean you can execute it.
The Weeknd
Album review by Frenchy on 2011-12-28

Echoes of Silence might just be Tesfaye’s best mixtape yet.
Your Hand In Mine
Album review by on 2011-12-26

A mind journey to neverland.
Karma To Burn
Album review by Raul Stanciu on 2011-12-24

Karma To Burn at their peak.
Skrillex
Album review by on 2011-12-23

Skrillex to Darwin: Evolution? I'm not buying it!
The Internet
Album review by on 2011-12-22

While The Internet certainly appear capable of hitting the mark, Purple Naked Ladies falters because it attempts to be far more than it is, leaving it as nothing more than a broken collection of half-realized ideas
Gabrielle Aplin
Album review by on 2011-12-21

Gabrielle shows us why she is one of the top artists to watch in 2012.
Consequence (NZ)
Album review by on 2011-12-21

More refined and evolutionary drum & bass from one of the scene's latest contenders to the throne
Common
Album review by on 2011-12-20

The voice of the people returns; addresses the wrong crowd in the process
Voivod
Album review by on 2011-12-17

A spectacular end (?) to an era.
Joncofy
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2011-12-15

The Ukrainian take on Tesseract's sound. Much like a bootleg DVD, it's not far off.
James Blake
Album review by on 2011-12-11

James Blake rounds out a whirlwind year with a much more muted statement, a slightly disjointed but still compelling listen that pays tribute to a tired ghost long since laid to rest
Exit Ten
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-12-11

Exit Ten have matured; they have created a warm, pure metalcore effort, revitalizing an otherwise stale genre, and in the process have launched themselves onto a higher stage.
The Roots
Album review by on 2011-12-09

If there's a Heaven, I can't find a stairway
Dia Frampton
Album review by Trey on 2011-12-08

While Red is a million miles away from the DIY recordings of her past, it is still undeniably Dia Frampton
My Dying Bride
Album review by Trey on 2011-12-06

The sound of My Dying Bride partying like it's 1992.
Nameless Coyote
Album review by Ryan Pecoraro on 2011-12-06

A debut demo from a one-man band that shows how to correctly pull off the mixture of black metal and shoegaze.
Damascus
Album review by Thompson D. Gerhart on 2011-12-06

It shouldn't be possible to make post-rock this good after only a few months as a band, but somehow, Damascus have done it.
VVV
Album review by on 2011-12-05

While rich in character and vitality, Across The Sea unwisely tries for too much, and as a result fails to become a dominating force for any of its styles of choice
The Roots
Album review by Frenchy on 2011-12-05

a serious album of the year contender.
Vomitory
Album review by Robert Garland on 2011-12-04

Punishment reclaimed in blood. Vomitory’s ‘Opus Mortis VIII’ is yet another solid output.
