From one of my favourite album covers to one of the worst, it’s very, erm, ‘graphic design is my passion’.

As a completely self produced album, and old in git in the same sense as others such as No Phun Intended, it matches up well. There’s clearly a few audio errors and the vocals are patchy in areas but behind its flaws lie some absolute gems. The album kickstarts with Silver, a pop punk style banger with a catchy chorus, which sets sights high for the rest of the album.



Not everything matches up however, Bones of 92 and I Was Hiding Under Your Porch Because I Love You are songs that have the patchiest vocals and the actual songs, to me, don’t make up for it.

The album ends (well, except for the acoustic and demo versions stuck onto the end) on Fantastic, which pardon the pun, is a Fantastic way to end the album. It’s the only other song that really gets on the same level as Silver.



On the whole it’s a decent album, theres blatant rookie mistakes on the production but it’s nothing too hard to listen to when you look past those.

The queen of singing in cursive has arrived

But, on a serious note, I really appreciated this album from Halsey. This was the first I heard from her, besides the ****ty DJ collabs (closer is tragic, don’t @ me), and wow what a shock. I had no idea she created this well crafted, almost conceptual, alternative music. The album starts of with Castle, a song that I really love for its sound.



The album has some real bangers though, like Hold Me Down, Roman Holiday (with Josh Dun’s gorgeous live drums ) and Strange Love.







But most importantly, this album has possibly my favourite Halsey song of all time, Colors. I love the sound, I love the lyrics, I love the visuals, and I really connected with it the first time I got to listen. I can always go back to it and still jam like I did the first time, and that’s something for me that’s rare to find in a song.





One of the drawbacks for me though, is that it’s a pretty lengthy album at 16 songs. That isn’t always a bad thing, but if you’re gonna serve a 16 song album then everything on it needs to have a purpose and I find with some of these tracks they either just don’t belong on the album or just simply aren’t needed.

The OPH albums from Bastille are something really special to me, I love seeing the collaborations they form with other artists, and their unique take on covers. Right at the start of the album we have Bite Down, featuring HAIM. This is such a beautiful arrangement, their voices mesh so well together and it’s just so easy to bop to.



There’s so many other great collaborations on this album, including MNEK’s work on bad_news and Axe to Grind with Tyde and Rationale.





The album doesn’t slow down towards the end either. Some of my favourite songs are in the rear end, Lizzo’s rap verse on Torn Apart Pt II and the closing track Remains, with Skunk Anansie and Rag ‘n’ Bone Man. The latter was a track I had little home, as I’m not keep on either collaborator, but it ended up as one of my favourites as I just find it beautiful to listen to.

This was my introduction to P!ATD, and at the time, I really did love this album. It was exactly the sound I was vibing with at that age, it was fun to listen to, and my friends also loved it. But as I’ve discovered with most Panic albums, they just get very old, very quickly. This album still has some of my favourite Panic songs of all time on it, especially Hallelujah which is a pure BOP!



I also love the old school, almost crooner sound spun with a modern twist in songs like Death of a Bachelor and Impossible Year, it’s a style that really suits Brendon’s voice and showcases why he really is one of the best male vocalists of our generation.





Now although I would say he is one of the best vocalists from our generation, with the power in his voice and the range that he possesses, he is not the best songwriter and it’s a flaw that lets him down in many of the songs imo. If the actual songs he made were just a little better, he really would be unstoppable.

The collaboration between Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus, and All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth is nothing short of incredible, honestly. They have voices that blend together so uniquely, they have production that sets every song alight, and songs that you can really bop to.

Their first outing as a duo was in 2019, and it’s a decent first EP, but not their best work. The star of the album is very much the titular track Strange Love, it has really nice vocals, I vibe with the lyrics and I am obsessed with the production.



Although I vibe with some of the other tracks such as Drug, Adrenaline and Lucy, they all seem just a little overshadowed by the titular track to me.

One of the things that attracted me to Super Whatevr was the tone of Skyler McKee’s voice, it’s just so unique and I love listening to it. Personally I don’t think he truly found the exact sound that suited him until their latest endeavour (Don’t You Wanna Be Glad), but the offering from Never Nothing is a good listen nevertheless.

Some tracks are good but don’t ever seem to reach any kind of peak or climax, which is a shame as there’s a lot of potential, but some of my favourites are examples of songs done well. These include subtle love song Kathrin with a K, and old school pop song Cops on Motorcycles.





Other highlights on the album include the fastpaced banger Misquote, the simplistic Telelelevision and disappointingly short 8:51AM (Saturday Morning Congestion Blues).

Oops not RileyH fumed again

Look, it’s another Panic! album that I do really like, I just liked it more when I first heard it. This too, just got stale quickly. That being said, this album does have some of the best Panic! songs to date, special mentions there to the opener This Is Gospel, Miss Jackson (feat. Lolo) and Girls/Girls/Boys - a song that everyone assumed was about bisexuals but turns out to be about a threesome







Not much else to say about this one, a cute listen but meh.

I like this album, it’s not too memorable for me but imo it’s much improvement on their debut, and it’s a nice listen. Once again, I really enjoy the Opener, this time it’s Motion Sickness.



Other than that, there’s plenty of other enjoyable tracks. These include Happy Judgement Day, The Grand Delusion, In Bloom, Don’t Wait and Wish You Were Here.











Not an album I revisit much, but when I do it’s an enjoyable listen.
