The One about Metric – Formentera (2022) (Digital Version)

“Formentera” is an album that fans who appreciated the last three albums will come to enjoy.  But fans of Metric who appreciate their often changing musical style, will love “Formentera”.  I absolutely enjoyed this album and it continues to be on my playlist months after Read More …

The One about Country Comfort – The Very Best of Country Comfort & Billy Kaui (1996) (Digital Version)

You do get a good number of tracks which showcase Country Comfort’s music from the ’70s on “The Very Best of Country Comfort & Billy Kaui”, but you also get the comeback of Billy Kaui.  But if anything, you do get something a bit different Read More …

The One about Suede – Autofiction (2022) (Digital Version)

Suede’s “Autofiction” is a little more personal, but musically it’s one of the more outstanding albums.  In fact, if I can use the word “harmonious”, I found that the entire band were in sync and harmonious and that’s not something all bands can accomplish.  This Read More …

I do believe that “The Head in the Door” was the album that would elevate the band to popularity among the alternative (or gothic) rock music fans of the early to mid-80s. While their 1982 album “Pornography” would become more brighter and radio-friendly (for alternative Read More …

The One about Depeche Mode – Sounds of the Universe (Deluxe Edition) (2009/2016)

“Sounds of the Universe” was no doubt an album that brought me back and to remind myself as a fan that you just have to go with the flow and appreciate what the band has to deliver.  Especially as I grown along with the group Read More …
