Suede – Bloodsports
After ten years, legendary Brit-rock band Suede bring us a truly beautiful and emotionally gripping album.
Sucker Punch OST
Most of the time, films use music to fill in awkward gaps in dialogue, or for random mash-up scenes that are meant to pull on your emotional heart strings. Sucker Punch used the music to tell the story
Studio Apartment – Nihon no Uta
Nihon no Uta’s got introductions and interludes that connect the whole album together as if they really were a whole. However, musically, these songs and collaborations couldn’t be more far apart from each other.
Strokes, The – Angles
Not only does Angles have the feel of their first album, but it also has the same vibe Julian Casablancas’ solo album featured, as well as new wave synth-pop, and even bossa chords on a couple of songs.
Stefanie Sun – It’s Time
I have to admit that I underestimated Stefanie Sun’s talent. Eleven albums after her debut, she returns with the long awaited It’s Time, four years after Against the Light.
SS501 – Destination
The South Korean quintet comes back with a darker concept but hardly a darker sound. I am blown away as to how well produced this mini is. I don’t think that SS501 have sounded as perfect and balanced as they do in Destination.
Spice Girls – Spice
The beginning of an epicness that not many people were quite ready for… or have really gotten over.
Spacecowboy – Extremely
Space Cowboy gifts music fans one a gorgeous example of form and storytelling with Extremely.
