The veteran rockers’ 17th studio album isn’t likely to shake any cores, but it will put a smile on your face. Opening track, Erase, is super cool and lively. Music Jail, Pt. 1 & 2 is pretty quirky and abstract, and perhaps only for avid fans, while songs to listen out for are Madam, I … Continue reading
The menacing marsupials are at it again. Now well into the electro pop genre, Glitterbug guarantees the same techno beats that previous album, This Modern Glitch provided, but perhaps this needs more time to grow on you. Needless to say, there is a fever pitch that comes with these British brutes and the lyrical skill … Continue reading
