Released: 22/05/2020 Genre: anything you want The 1975 have come a long, long way since their debut album a mere 7 years ago. The inoffensive synth-rock that dominated their self-titled LP was catchy and well-produced enough to earn a name for themselves, but ambitious is hardly the word to define it with. With each subsequent … Continue reading The 1975 – Notes on a Conditional Form Review
By Ákos Kulimár Released: 27/03/2020 Genre: Industrial, Avant-garde There hasn’t been a better opportunity for the Slovenian art collective Laibach than the already quite dystopian year 2020 to release their new interpretation of their first three records, which were produced in a rather dystopian world of Tito’s collective Yugoslavian dictatorship. Our world that seems to … Continue reading Laibach – Revisited Review
Megjelenés: 23.03.2020 Műfaj: Trap, hip-hop Krúbi két évvel ezelőtti berobbanása egy felüdülés volt a magyar rap sokszor joggal lesajnált színterén. Noha a műfaj világszerte népszerűbb mint valaha, és nagyjából az évtized közepe óta sorra termelte ki a nagyobbnál nagyobb egyéniségeit, nálunk az újvonalas rap egyedibb, izgalmasabb képviselőinek nem sikerült úgy leigázni a streamingoldalak playlistjeit mint … Continue reading Krúbi – Ösztönlény Kritika
Released: 09.04.2020 Genre: Symphonic metal Nightwish's success story comes from two main reasons: firstly, songwriter-keyboardist-bandleader Tuomas Holopainen's realization that female operatic vocals make European-style metal accessible to a previously unreached market (which mainly consists of teenage girls), and secondly, the fact that Holopainen is a legitimately innovative composer, who dared to take the concept of … Continue reading Nightwish – Human :II: Nature Review
Released: 20.03.2020 Genre: R&B, Synthpop There is this theory in popular culture called the 30-year nostalgia cycle. It says that approximately three decades is the time period after which the culture of a certain era becomes appreciated again. This, of course, is not set in stone: the cycle can shift anywhere between about 15 years … Continue reading The Weeknd – After Hours Review
Released: 21.02.2020 Genre: Hard Rock, Arena Rock "Rock is dead" - as many veteran artists and fans like to moan. It's certainly not in its best condition and looking at the current state of popular culture, it probably won't be as popular again as it was in its golden ages anytime soon. The reasons why … Continue reading H.E.A.T – H.E.A.T II Review
Released: 21.02.2020 Genre: Heavy Metal Throughout the 2010s, we saw an increasing member of legends from the golden ages of rock music pass away. While it's a sad phenomenon, it's inevitable, as these people weren't exactly famous for their straight-edge lifestyle and them reaching their late sixties and seventies was already a gift from life … Continue reading Ozzy Osbourne – Ordinary Man Review
Released: 02.14.2020 Genre: Psychedelic Pop High standards of previous work and long waiting times create high expectations - and if there's one band where this applies, it's Tame Impala. I don't like to throw around terms like "genius" too often, but the mastermind behind the project, Kevin Parker has certainly established himself as one with … Continue reading Tame Impala – The Slow Rush Review
Released: 07.02.2020 Genre: Pop Punk, Garage Rock The thing with pop punk is, it's not really a "grown-up" type of music. It usually works best when it deals with the relatable problems of adolescence, it's made by artists young enough to remember how it felt to be a rebellious teenager and it doesn't take itself … Continue reading Green Day – Father of all… Review
