Pink Floyd- Dark Side of the Moon album review
Bring Me The Horizon- Sempiternal album review by
Alternative Press
“Bring
Me The Horizon have not built up a fanbase by playing it safe, and Sempiternal marks
their most striking—and fearless—evolution to date. From the skittering
electronics dominating the opener “Can You Feel My Heart” to the frail croon of
Oli Sykes on “And The Snakes Start To Sing,” BMTH both impress and inspire at
every turn. There’s plenty of metallic crunch to sate diehard moshers, and the
spiteful anthem “Anti-vist” is pure hatred unleashed. However, the predominant
mood on Sempiternal is a melancholic combination of regret and
cautious hope, and blending this with ruthless riffs and widescreen drama makes
the feeling behind this all the more potent. “Sleepwalking,” “Go To Hell For
Heaven’s Sake” and “Seen It All Before” edge just ahead of the pack, but every
track wields an anthemic chorus laced with ethereal grace and fist-in-the-air
exhilaration. Sykes’ increased vocal range also proves a formidable addition to
their arsenal, coalescing with the expanded sonic palette for a more intimate,
cohesive and engaging collection.”

Death Cab for Cutie- Plans album
review by Jen Procop at Anti Music
“The new death cab for cutie
CD Plans is a lot like buying a new pair of shoes. Bright, Shiney
and in need of a few days to get use to the feel. Plans, the first
album released on the mega Atlantic label is a much more glossy and ultra
produced offering then their previous albums. Everything feels different, right
from the moment you open the CD and see the photography and reproduction, but
don't fret, try it on and almost immediately, it begins to feel familiar.
Gibbard and the rest of the DCFC have never sounded
better musically as their arrangements are tighter and cleaner on this release.
The Cd has a little less longing and a bit more pop delivery but underneath
that shiney coating lurks a whole lot of substance. Nothing is lacking in their
deep and thoughtful lyrics and "poetry to song" for which they have
become famous. This is definitely not a "sell out" Cd as some
suggest- tracks like "What Sarah Said", "Soul Meets Body"
and "Marching Band of Manhattan" are as thoughtful as any Death Cab
you have in your collection.
Every band has that
one album that seems to define them and the brilliant
"Transatlaticism" will be the benchmark for everything that Death Cab
does in the future.Plans is not that album but new is good and this
CD definitely shows growth and maturity. Wear it in and soon enough your
new Plans will feel just as comfortable as your favorite old
pair of shoes that you'll never throw out. ”
Shiny Toy
Guns- III album review by Mesfin Fekadu at HUFFPOST
“From its
opening track, the runaway love jam “Somewhere to Hide”, to its closing number,
the piano tune “Take Me Back to Where I Was,” Shiny Toy Guns delivers a
flawless collection of tunes on its third album, “III”. The beats throughout
are flavored with dance, rock and synth-pop sounds enhanced by vocals by Chad
Petree and Carah Faye, who has rejoined the Los Angeles quartet after leaving
the band and missing out on 2008 album “Season of Poision.”
Her voice – light and satisfying – blends magically with Petree’s
on songs like “Waiting Alone” and the outstanding “Carrie.” Faye also brings on
the swag on the rock-charged “Speaking Japanese” and “Fading Listening,” with
its summertime hip-hop beat. Her return is much appreciated – and much needed,
helping make “III” one of 2012’s best.”
Bad Reviews
Taylor
Swift- Red album review by user “Kuchii09” at Metacritic
“Huge fan at
first but this is just awful. From the very bland acoustic/country tracks that
have been done by anyone else and Taylor herself sounds redone, rehashed,
reductive. No just no. Some standard tracks like Red, State of Grace, and Begin
again save the album from trash. But everything else is just worth puking over
but it looks like someone already did.”Miley Cyrus- Bangerz album review by user "Skydog" at Metacritic
I actually can't stand Miley as a person, but I gave the album a chance. Some of the songs were just "okay" but others are so bad they sound like something anyone with Fruity Studios could make!
People giving this a 10 are definitely trolls.
