My Top 20 Albums of 2018 2018 was the best year in music that I’ve experienced so far. So many incredible artists released so many fantastic albums and I made it my goal to listen to as many of them as possible. Obviously, I couldn’t listen to all of them but I did my best. … Continue reading Best Albums of 2018
In 2017 I went through a stage of trying to listen to every single new artist that appeared on the New Music tab on the NME website. From there I found many different and exciting musicians. Tom Misch, Courts, Nilufer Yanya and Hana Vu are all people I’ve found through NME (I would recommend the … Continue reading Tash Sultana – Flow State (2018)
OutKast is probably within my top 10 musical acts of all time and they thoroughly deserve it. A career spanning over 12 years, 6 albums and not a single weak or bad album. They produced two of the most respected and talented MCs in the entirety or Hip-Hop history, one of which who is repeatedly … Continue reading OutKast – Southernplaylisticadillacmusik (1994)
Anyone who has being paying attention will have noticed that the hiatus between each Gorillaz album is often fairly big. Between each release, the fandom is left wondering what the band is gonna look, sound and act like. But in 2018 something strange happened...we got another album. Only one year on from Humanz, we were … Continue reading Gorillaz -The Now Now (2018)
Humanz (2017) 2016 was a crazy year. The US Election, Brexit, countless beloved celebrities dropping like flies and in 2017 we were all still trying to get our heads round what had just happened. However one 2016’s most shocking events (the election of Donald Trump as the American President) spawned the basis of one of … Continue reading Gorillaz -Humanz (2017)
The Fall (2011) First things first, I do not hate The Fall. In actuality, I’m kind of in awe of it. An entire album made on the road (using an iPad): that’s quite impressive. If any other band had made this album then it would have been hailed as a huge achievement. But, unfortunately, the … Continue reading Gorillaz -The Fall (2011)
Demon Days was and still is the best selling and most critically acclaimed Gorillaz album and yet somehow it is not my favourite album in the Gorillaz discography. Now, Plastic Beach doesn’t have as many hits as what Demon Days did, and the theme of pollution and man's effect on the planet is not quite … Continue reading Gorillaz -Plastic Beach (2010)
9/11 was undoubtedly one of the most horrific and catastrophic events in the early 2000’s. Its effects could be seen across the world and still affect us today. Demon Days in many ways reflects the destruction and loss in faith in humanity that came with 9/11. Songs like All Alone, O’ Green World and Every … Continue reading Gorillaz -Demon Days (2005)
Gorillaz (2001) Released in 2001, Gorillaz was the world's first look into the genius of Gorillaz and, quite frankly, there is no reason on earth why I have any right to like this album as much as I do. Many of the songs are so experimental, so like nothing I’d ever heard before and so … Continue reading Gorillaz -Gorillaz (2001)
First off, I have no credentials what-so-ever. I didn't do GCSE Music, I don't play an instrument and I can't sing. Any and all artists I talk about have infinitely more talent than I do. But I do love music. Its one of the few things I can say I am wholly passionate about and … Continue reading Introduction To My Blog
