| And they did it again, another classic. I was afraid they might turn down a notch quality wise this time, or just make the same album again (which wouldn't be too bad), but they managed to maintain their level while adding something new in the mix.. well done sirs.r(5) |

They have a formula, it's a good formula and they do it right, but it's time to think about
shaking the things up and dont extend it so much, an hour and 6 minutes for something so
homogenic in it's core seems a stretch. Great album nonetheless.

| Arcade Fire Everything Now | 2.5 |
Definitely their worst efort to date. Still have some great tracks (PYMOM, WDDL) and some
renjoyable ones (Electric Blue, s/t(although this one get's fastidious after a while)).. Some
filler and then... chemistry (don't dig that one at all.. so uninspired and repetitive.. it drags
for what feels like eternity on its 3:34 duration). WDDL prevents this from being average.
Hopefuly is their worst album ever..
(2.7) |
| Manchester Orchestra A Black Mile to the Surface | 5.0 |
A grower.. on first listen, due to being so fluid from song to song, although I enjoyed it, it caused the impression that all was a big enjoyable blur. After you let it sink in and get the hang of it, it's full of superb songs and the wholeness of the album just makes it better.
It may become a 5 in time, who knows? A 4.5 at the moment.
Edit : well, it's a 5. |
| Public Service Broadcasting Every Valley | 3.0 |

| Royal Blood How Did We Get So Dark? | 3.0 |

later.

| alt-J Relaxer | 3.5 |
| It's another great album. If it wasn't for a misstep called 'Hit me with your Snare' (which isn't rbad 'per se' but feels too out of place in the album) it could reach slightly higher ratings. Two rof my favorite tracks of the year on this: 3ww and adeline; you should check them out even if ryou aren't too keen on alt-j, but i'm not telling what to do.r(3.9) |

| Ho99o9 United States Of Horror | 3.0 |

| Kasabian For Crying Out Loud | 3.0 |
| This is above average..After Velociraptor! i was excited to see where they were heading with their sound but 48:13 was a real shitshow. This is better.. some nice tunes (Ill Ray, Comeback kid) |
| At the Drive-In in•ter a•li•a | 4.0 |
A great return album. If you were expecting that the band who helped change the game back in the
day would return after 17 years and change the game again, then prepare for disapointment. If you
are only looking for a new set of great post-hardcore tracks to enjoy, then you are in for a
treat. (3.9) |
| Slowdive Slowdive (LP) | 4.5 |
Getting the news that Slowdive were back was, by its own, reason to rejoice, and if to that we add a new album, the expectations skyrocketed, at least for me, being Souvlaki one of my favorite albums. High expectations are hard too meet though, and it's always risky to come back 20 years later. Happily, Slowdived did met the expectations and gave us a superb record, full of walls of sound, dream-pop textures and space rock riffs. A AOTY contender.

| Kendrick Lamar DAMN. | 4.0 |
| It's Kendrick being Kendrick and releasing another quality album, although at first it seems to lack the wholeness from the previous two releases, and the beats are a less structured and textured, which can be a con or pro depending on the listener taste (a con for me, not a major con but a con nonetheless).r(4,1) |

| Father John Misty Pure Comedy | 4.0 |
This is just too monotonous for such a long time duration, although it's not bad it tends to be boring.
EDIT: And after that, if you let it, it grows on you.. except leaving LA, that one is intended to be listened once.

| Future Islands The Far Field | 4.0 |
| They play their past strengths in new directions here, making a super solid album. It takes a few runs to appreciate the richness of textures the tunes have, with the risk of sounding a little samey at first listen.r(4.3) |
| The Smith Street Band More Scared of You Than You Are of Me | 4.0 |
Some great tunes, and a solid album overall, although not reaching as high as their previous effort. The raw and honest voice and lyrics are a standout as usual with this band.

It's a beautiful, calm and heartwarming album. A charming trip between the falling in and the falling out of love and the growth associated with that.

| Darkest Hour Godless Prophets and the Migrant Flora | 3.5 |
'Knife in the Safe Room' it's a kick in the front door that sets the mood for the album, what a
energetic banger. The riffs are on point on this one. A little more melodic parts like on Deliver
Us(but that is a matter of taste really) and it could be a step higher. Great great album tho.

| Minus the Bear VOIDS | 3.0 |
The album is composed mostly by 'filler' songs (Minus the Bear 'filler' isn't bad per
se) . Not terrible but kinda bland. (3) |

| Teen Daze Themes For Dying Earth | 3.5 |
This is nice and soothing. If you are in need for relaxing and beautiful tunes this may be the
album for you pal. A solid (3.4) Cheers |
| The Menzingers After the Party | 3.5 |
| Hooks for days, heartfelt lyrics, good melody.. excellent album. And a grower too, as it didn't grab me immediately. r(3.5) |
| Sampha Process | 3.5 |
| Cloud Nothings Life Without Sound | 2.5 |
An average album, not terrible but with nothing memorable.. it's a shame after Here and Nowhere
Else. |
