After a few listens this is definitely an enjoyable risk they took. It?s different but still consistent. Score will probably go up cause I can?t think of a track I?d skip at the moment

I think this has a lot of bright highlights, and dull moments. Tonight, After Midnight, Winter Solstice, Artefact, and Identical are fantastic. The rest is pretty forgettable. Solid 3.5

The hype is real. It?s super catchy, and each listen gets better and better. It?s just an easy pop album that happily gets
stuck in your head

I'm having fun with it. It's not earth shattering like their debut but it's still a solid record. Probably will forget about it in a week but still

Phoenix (FRA) Ti Amo3.0
Love the 80's/VHS vibe throughout. Lyrics are plain and boring, but Phoenix is more about their sound anyways

On first listen, probably one of the best experimental electronic records I've heard in a while. Very different. Very strange. Very diverse

Beacon was my fav. Tourist history was a bit overrated imo. This is nice direction but it's hard to get into. Album
definitely has its moments but has a lot of flat areas. Invincible, Ordinary and Lavender stood out for me

Ra Ra Riot Need Your Light3.5
Perfect blend of their electronic push and their old roots. Much more polished than Beta Love. Known these guys since day one and they've had really bad luck with critics and reception, so hopefully this will bring them back up. 'I Need Your Light', 'Water', 'Suckers', and 'Every Time I'm Ready to Hug' are the ones that really stand out for me.

Give these guys a listen. Saw them live twice and they put up a really great show, no matter the turn out. Great sound and amazing personality. Definitely worth a listen
