Polyphia Be Not Afraid
It's a grower... On first listen, I didn't know what to make of it but 2 things:r1. the music videos are actually an integral part of the story telling and truly add something to the music and experience overall. I love that even if it is a bit unusual. The original video for Can you feel it creates this strong cognitive dissonance that makes you feel uncomfortable in a way few music videos have.r2. the clipping, distortion is a bit much but grows on you and some of the other mixes I've heard are really great.rOverall, I think my rating will improve over time, this feels like it might be a concept album that pushes boundaries, is uncomfortabl		4.0

Wax Tailor Hope & Sorrow
Not necessarily his best work but there is so much to dig into in this album. The tracks with Charlotte Savary are full of sweet melancholy (To Dry Up is on of my highlights of album), the hip-hop-influenced tracks bring contrast and more depth without being too generic.		3.5

I Am Giant The Horrifying truth
Who knew Kiwis had solid rock bands?! I Am Giant'd debut album is filled with stadium rock anthems that stick in your head. The riffs are catchy, the hooks always present and choruses are huge. Overall the album is extremely well produced almost to a fault. rI discovered this band through their acoustic rendition of Let It Go and it's well worth the view. rWorthy tracks:r- And We'll Defyr- Nightvision		4.0

Gramatik The Age of Reason
"Age of reason" carries its writing context heavily. As an album put together on the road, there is something to find for everyone. I find myself drawn back to the non-collab tracks here (with the groovy bangers: "Pardon my French", "Expect Us", "you don't understand") which feel a bit less formulaic and more coherent than the rest of the album.rThe production level while still high is not as good as I would have expected from Gramatik. The collabs are lacklusters in many cases. "Get a grip", "Obviously" could be a solid tracks but the absence of variation make me want to move on to the next after 2min. There is frequently a striking differen		3.0
