| A severely underrated album, Kate Bush expresses her more intimate side which marks a departure from her previous release 'Hounds Of Love'. With its dreamy, otherworldly soundscapes, this is Bush's most delicate and introspect work to date. |

Insultingly good. While it draws obvious inspiration from Talking Heads, Murphy's latest (and apparently last) is a meticulously crafted body of work that is fresh, vibrant and consistent. 'Pow Pow' raises the roof with its sick, tribal-oriented grooves while 'One Touch', albeit slightly reminiscent of Get Innocuous, offers a thumping synth driven beat that refuses to let go.
An essential purchase. |

Wow. I didn’t think Billy had it in him. This record has some of the most inspired passages of music and riffs from the
band in years, more specifically since 2012’s Oceania. Edin is such a powerhouse opener, with heavy guitar interplay not
heard in quite some time. It is to be noted that this is certainly a ‘body of work’, ergo there are no stand out singles and
the record as a whole takes a more wavering, progressive approach. It’s not an instantly catchy or even accessible
record but after hearing years of complete dirge, this has been the most exciting record Billy has put out since James
and Jimmy have rejoined.
It’s a little quantised at parts which I feel holds Jimmy back at times - there could certainly be more jazz infused fills to
propel the music - and Billy’s vocals are lacking grit again but alas, props to all of them for creating something that has
an unpredictable nature to it. And to me, the unknown, be it objectively bad or good, is exactly what the Pumpkins are
all about. Great stuff. |

Definitely digging the psychedelic funk approach here - some of the songs are up there with their very best (Grim
Generation, Summer of Luv, Dummy, Plastic Island) and it has a real rapid consistency until Ghost Town slows everything
down to a grinding halt. What we have here is a great party record infused with a message much bigger, the idea of
having a figure so influential to you that you fall into a black hole when they’re gone. It’s a weird juxtaposition that
doesn’t quite work and the second half suffers greatly from it. The final track tries to bring what the intro did back with a
gospel esque finale that is grandiose musically but sadly backed up with lyricism stating ‘the present has a past, no
you’re fucked up forever’. It just doesn’t resonate the same way Modern Jesus, Sleep Forever or So Young does.
It also has to be noted that John Gourley’s vocals are strangely underwhelming throughout - he did break his jaw which
would have been absolute hell and I somewhat feel there’s a resistance with the vocal delivery. Again, listen to
Woodstock and he’s the lead man there, something that he despised.
It won’t be a hit album. There’s no hits on it sadly. But it’s a colourful interplay with the band’s musicianship and for first
half gets it right. It’s a strange misnomer in their catalogue as yet again, they’ve created an album that sounds nothing
like Woodstock or Evil Friends, and that must also be commended. But it just feels like a concept record that should
have gone all the way with its message rather than giving us a side B version of it. Double album next time, boys? |

| I?m stunned. Genuinely cannot believe how shockingly quantised and weak the production is alongside with some of Billy?s worst riffs and guitar interplay. I was skeptical about the concept, the dreadful spelling of the word ?Autumn?, the plodding, meandering nonsense that was Cyr and I am so devastated to report that all of my fears have come true. Zero grit, zero sense of urgency and thrill that made Siamese Dream and, yes, even Machina such phenomenal records. The synth pop influences is so disparate from Billy?s vocals and everything just sounds so sanitised and bland. The song ?Hooray!? may very well be Billy?s worst song yet. Jimmy Chamberlain is totally wasted on this record, so is James, so is Billy?s songwriting ability. It begs the question: why? Where is the quality control? I?ve defended the Pumpkins many times and still declare them my favourite band?up until Oh So Shiny. I?ve officially jumped the bandwagon and it crushes me to see a truly incredible band fall so hard. |

Dreadful. Has all the idiosyncrasies and personality of flour. Also, to sound like Imagine Dragons nearly right off
the bat? It’s a desperate sounding record. Stay away. |
