| American Football American Football (LP2) | 3.5 |
After listening through the album a few times its definitely different to the debut, which is
obviously going to happen since its been 17 years. Most songs do still have that AF vibe to them,
dont worry the trumpets are there, though few and far between. Some songs, especially Home Is
Where The Haunt Is do sound pretty much like Owen. The inclusion of ambient pads is very
welcome and differently accentuates certain songs. No instrumental songs which is a bummer
but, overall, excellent album with a lot of standout moments throughout. Its not on the same level
as the debut and thats perfectly fine. You done good AF. |

Stay With Me until the end of the album is fucking astounding. A bit of a rocky first half with some
great songs (Hurricane, The Long Defeat) but some uninteresting songs as well. Maybe those
songs might grow later on. |
| Frost* Falling Satellites | 4.0 |
| Katatonia The Fall of Hearts | 3.5 |
Fantastic production let down by some some lacklustre song writing that seems like a jam session
without much cohesion (see first 2 minutes of Takeover), this type of aimless wandering making
for longer songs leaves the listener simply bored. However there are some fantastic moments
sprinkled throughout. The more direct songs definitely steal the limelight. Perhaps Katatonia
might be better off making a more shorter album in the future that focuses on their strengths
rather than expansive nothingness. |

| The 1975 I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It | 3.5 |
| Textures Phenotype | 3.5 |
| Timeless is an absolute bitchin' song. Some bland moments here and there, better than Dualism IMO. |
