Advantages: A solid and varied recording - I can't wait for the album
Disadvantages: Lyrics are a little "young" even for the band

The 1975 have been making music of one kind or another since 2002 when they were still at school. Now in their mid 20s they have only been able to call themselves recording artists in their current name in the past 12 months. In that short time the 1975 h ... Read review

As this shows, an unnecessary track by track account doesn't always make for the best review. by kevin121

Advantages: a good selection of tracks from across the whole decade, mixed like you are in a club
Disadvantages: quite a few unfamilar tracks on disc 2, style is a bit mismatched for me.

Anthems 90s is a compilation put together by the Ministry of Sound and featuring dance music from the 1990s. The set consists of 3 CDs from different eras within the decade, and is an eclectic mix giving a real flavour of how dance music progressed throug ... Read review

Advantages: unique style

I first saw James Blake at Glastonbury and I bought his self titled album James Blake. His style is incomparable, it’s intense and with high pitched vocals and thunderous backing drums. I cannot think of a band or artist to compare him to; although if you ... Read review

Advantages: Good variation and strong lyrics.
Disadvantages: Just a couple of difficult tracks for me.

While I’m always on the lookout for new music, quite a number of the albums I discover are along the same style I played in the 1980s. The same cannot be said for grime rapper Devlin. Despite him being very unlikely to focus his music and song content for ... Read review

Hello! First of all can I just say that I have been off this for a few years now but i am back so I apologise if the review is a little rusty, but we will give it a go anyway. A lot of you might not be sure about what 'Dubstep' is first of all so let me ... Read review

Advantages: excellent mix of orchestral film score with an electronica updating
Disadvantages: could have formed a more cohesive whole

Film scores are my absolute favourite genre of music, and not just because I can listen to them in the background without distracting myself from work/study with words (and my tendency to try and sing along! ;)). A good film score conjures emotions of all ... Read review

Background Frisco forms part of the much-loved North London Grime crew, Boy Better Know. However, with such an array of stars in the squad (with the likes of Skepta, JME and Jammer also in the team) he often finds himself in the background at times. ... Read review

the reason for my low rating is because you have basically described each track, I could listen to it and find out for myself what they sound like, you haven't said you're opinion on each track. by SallyJohnson
