Rated 8/10

Solid, nothing new but does what it does exceptionally

Rated 8/10

If Bruce Springsteen teamed up with Big Country, it would sound something like this. I say that in a nice way, because it works. They sound like a band that would be good to watch live.

Rated 2/10

Still the worst gig I've ever been to, bored beyond belief...

How is this on the list? ಠ⁠︵⁠ಠ

Rated 10/10

Back when i wrote the Yellow review, I thought i wasn't going to get any albums after 2005 since that's when the book came out but i didn't think about the different editions that went up to 2021 so i was surprised to see this album here.
And my oh my is it great, If i could use one word to describe this album, it would be "comfy" since this album is so relaxing especially with the opener (Under The Pressure) and the closer (In Reverse). I feel that some people may be put off by the long length of this album but if you can put that aside, you will be in for one of the most comfy and relaxing albums ever.
Best Song: Under The Pressure
Worst Song: Lost In The Dream

Rated 10/10

I like these guys. They're even better with Lucius though!

Rated 8/10

Levyn nimen mukaisesti unenomaista ja kaiken kaikkiaan hienoa nyky-indietä. 4/5

Rated 6/10

This album is already in my regular rotation only because it’s a recent album I like, it’s good and I agree it should be on the list, but of albums Iv enjoyed in the last few years it’s just a bit samey for it to be more than a 3 star album. It’s not one I openly recommend to people.

Rated 8/10

This album is a solid midtempo soft alt. I really liked An Ocean In Between The Waves. The songs stretch out for days, so its easy to zone out in the middle of something. Eyes To The Wind has big Bruce meets Bob energy. In fact that is a nice summation of the whole album. I don't really dig the Americana sound but sure its nice.

Rated 6/10

kind of a one dimensional album. But it was fine

Rated 6/10

HL: "Under the Pressure", "An Ocean in Between the Waves", "Burning"

2nd WoD album I've heard, after 2021's "I Don't Live Here Anymore". I appreciate the spacey psychedelic elements in this one (they complement the album cover too), but IMO the newer album has slightly better songs.
3.5

Rated 2/10

The first song was okay. For two minutes. Then the next song was okay, for one minute. It didn't recover after that until the end of the last song, which I wasn't really enjoying after the four minutes I had to get through first. He sounded like Bob Dylan, but they music was just straight boring, and at times not good.

Rated 8/10

I love this album. I think it feels very much like classic rock in the vein of Springsteen, but mixes in enough modern indie rock influences to keep it interesting for me.

Rated 6/10

This is what I wish Jakob Dylan and The Wallflowers sounded like.

Rated 8/10

First time hearing this album and I really enjoyed it. Some of the songs may be a bit long, but overall it's very enjoyable. Sort of a throwback rock album, which is rare to hear from newer music!
