Maps We Can Create3.5
A good album for a alternative, upcoming band. This album was in the running for the mercury prize award and it's very creative and exciting . Although quite a poppy and sometimes unusual album, 'we can create' and the band as a whole provide an easy listening experience. James Chapman started this band when he only had a sixteen track recorder and now i think their latest release has shown how far he has come with his music. I think he's constructed his songwriting and the structures for indivual songs really well.

I saw them live at reading and all the abstract sounds from the album were somehow created on stage. My cousin is also in the live band as a drummer so in a sense im quite biased.

My only critism is that the album isn't very well put together a few different songs which don't really combine with each other. To the sky is definatley the stand out track on 'we can create'.

Piebald We Are the Only Friends We Have4.5
i haven't heard the whole album yet however the eight or nine songs that i have listened to are easily constructed, and easy to listen to. Travis Shettel produces a range of sarcastic and almost comical lyrics. However he also knows when to tone down, and become a little more serious.
American hearts is the stand out song for me on the album and fear and loathing on cape cod is a wonderfully constructed track consisting of piano, acoustic melodies, and then upbeat, poppy guitar.
From the songs ive heard off the album it definatley deserves a 4.5
Johnny Truant The Repercussions of a Badly Planned Suicide4.5
Along with Architects Johnny Truant are the saviours of the UK metal scene at the moment. Hopefully this band are diversing all the attention from shit UK bands such as bullet for my valentine, bring me the horizon and other generic metalcore bands.
