Dale Lavine wrote a (not so favorable) review of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros’ new album, titled Here.
“Here feels as though the band has hit “the wall” that so many bands face while making their sophomore album – thus ending up with an album that lacks the same hooks and standout singles that made their first album so successful.”
Have you listened to the new album? What are your thoughts?
Our very own Ellen Capel gave Paloma Faith’s newest album — Fall to Grace — a glowing review, rating it 10 out of 10.
“Paloma’s stunningly upfront lyrics concerning love and loss surpass Adele’s overrated ‘Someone Like You’ by miles. In what seems to be a rough sea that spans the genres of female releases, ‘Fall to Grace’ is the diamond that is fit to stud musical royalty’s brow.”
Surpassing Adele’s stories about loss and love? If that isn’t a reason to at least give Fall to Grace a thorough listen, I don’t know what is.
Dale Lavine gives Imagine Dragons’ newest album Continued Silence a raving review, saying,
“The boom-snap-clap style of Imagine Dragons is heavily (but tastefully) used in this particular album and each song is most definitely a piece of art that deserves to be shelved in everyone’s musical library.”

“One of the main attractions to Spektor’s work is her way with lyrics – the almost childlike narrative viewpoint she adopts whilst tackling dark, cynical subject matter.”

Our own Ellen Capel wrote up an opinion piece regarding the possible reformation of The Smiths, saying:
“The Smiths could well go the same way and destroy their legacy as the indie music icons, though both Johnny and Morrissey are still excellent performance-wise, so is this a risk that they should be taking?”

Thanks for your patience.

“Despite only a small number of releases so far, the band have built a solid fanbase through the internet….”
Mark Riley wrote an absolutely fantastic opinion piece on the replacement and possible re-replacement of Velvet Revolver’s lead singer.
“For Velvet Revolver fans, April 1st 2008 came as a bit of a shock, when it was announced that singer, and former Stone Temple Pilots frontman, Scott Weiland had left the band.”
