This is a clear sign Ishmael and co. are completely out of ideas. There are 2 interludes so we really only get 8 tracks. Of the
8 nothing in particular stands out nor does anything to push the creative envelope or expand the genre like they did with
just about every track on 2011's Black Up. To put simply this is a boring, uninspired, assemblage of bad tracks put
together by a group that caught lightening in a bottle 9 years ago. 2/5 |
| The Strokes The New Abnormal | 3.0 |
coming in right at 45 minutes, this is really the strokes doing what they do best. concise, groovy, well written tunes. Julian
is really on point in just about every track. one of the pitfalls of their recent works is the tendency for the vocals and
melodies to drag on and put you to sleep. though the tracks here are extremely catchy throughout and showcase a great
blend of unique guitar and synth work that keep you engaged from start to finish. a very surprising follow up to their worst
album. easily a 3.8/5. |
| Fearing Shadow | 3.5 |
Yet another triumphant release from the artistically-fertile confines of the Bay Area. A refreshingly dark record that
successfully traverses the bounds of post punk and shoe gaze. it's a loner's album yet there is something so warm about
the sonic landscape the melodies-and especially the vocals-create. picture a blend of nick cave and joy division. What will
undoubtedly prove to be an undercover gem of 2020, Shadow really hits home during this dark and lonely hour, yet
also breathes a sense of hope that we are all experiencing these feelings together in one way or another. Standout track-
