Vertical Horizon Everything You Want
Everything You Want is a polished alternative/pop-rock album that blends acoustic jams with electric guitars and catchy radio hooks. Fronted by vocalist Matt Scannell who delivers some eloquent vocal melodies, Vertical Horizon have a similar style to bands like Lifehouse, Goo Goo Dolls and late 90s Everclear. With their singable, radio-friendly choruses as a main driving force, VH manage to put down a solid yet generic album. Recommendations: "Everything You Want", "We Are", "You're a God", "Finding Me", "Shackled".r		3.0

Muse The Wow! Signal
Muse's tenth studio album leans heavily back into bombastic orchestral arrangements, sweeping synths, and heavy guitar riffs reminiscent of Black Holes and Revelations. Producer Dan Lancaster helps sharpen the band's focus and energy towards a classic space-rock form that trades cynical tech themes for a more human and grounded emotional core. This is the best and most earnest work since Drones. Tony recommends: "The Dark Forest", "Cryogen", "Nightshift Superstar", "Hexagons", "The Sickness in You & I".		3.5

Red Hot Chili Peppers By the Way
By the Way is a deeply melodic, harmonious departure from the band's raw funk-rock roots where the Peppers trade aggressive funk-rap for sophisticated vocal harmonies, shimmering guitar textures, and emotional resonance. The album's mature sound is largely driven by guitarist John Frusciante who acts as the creative anchor, layering intricate guitar riffs, atmospheric tones, and falsetto backing vocals which lead the record into a into a pop-infused alternative rock style.rApart from the classic tracks like "By the Way", "Can't Stop" and "The Zephyr Song", during my digging I noticed "Dosed" with its interlocking guitar layers and so		4.0

Turnstile Glow On
Glow On is a hardcore punk album that blends traditional hardcore aggression with dreamy indie rock, R&B, pop, and electronic elements. Despite widely named as one of the best rock albums of 2021, as this genre is not of my favorite ones, I have only kept a few notable tracks. Recommendations: "Blackout", "Mystery", "Holiday".		3.0

Failure Location Lost
I became aware of Location Lost as it was released at a period in which I was exploring Fantastic Planet. Location Lost has a more laid-back, ambient attitude and blends space rock with post-punk and having some mellow electronic pulses. Written largely during frontman Ken Andrews' recovery from a severe back surgery, the album feels introspective and explores themes of isolation and physical decay. This is probably the main reason why the end result misses the band's signature dirty bass tones of their 90s releases. Tony recommends: "The Air's on Fire", "Someday Soon", "A Way Down"		3.0

Foo Fighters Your Favorite Toy
Your Favorite Toy is a noisy and album. Noted for it high-octane, back-to-basics character, its a follow-up to the band's grief-stricken 2023 record But Here We. It leans heavily into fast-paced, unpolished garage and hardcore punk, trading the sorrowful reflection of their previous work for raw, speaker-crackling catharsis. Although I found some hooks here and there, the album did not get my attention, with "Window" the only notable track. 		2.5

Oasis (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
(What's the Story) Morning Glory? follows the footsteps of the debut album with Noel Gallagher's songwriting leaning heavily into classic 1960s British pop structures, channeling Beatles-esque grandeur while keeping the swagger intact. Guitarist and main songwriter Noel with an ear for great tunes crafts a collection of catchy, working-class rock songs, delivered with the raw, jittery-voice of his brother Liam. Despite containing the band's gigantic hits 'Wonderwall' and 'Don't Look Back in Anger', it offers nothing new but rather sticks to straightforward chiming sixties pop, creating some massive sing-along choruses along the way,		5.0
