Ocean Drive — Lighthouse Family — W.A.C.#5

My Thoughts “1995! It’s the year…” That’s how I started this review but actually not an awful lot was happening. Diana’s interview with Martin Bashir was this year and Rose West was found guilty… Ok… What was going on in … Continue reading

Slip — Quicksand — W.A.C.#5

My Thoughts I still do music reviews, guys! Let’s dive straight in… Am I unfair to say The Offspring? Actually if I were to summarise, it’s The Offspring crossed with the incidental music of The League of Gentlemen that means that the writing knows how to … Continue reading

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury — The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy — W.A.C.#4

My thoughts Ah, back when I started this break I had to review this album in the wake of the British election and it was just politics everywhere – fun to chat about but looking at constant political under currents … Continue reading

Ez Reviews #4: Play – Moby

  I’m going to say before I start that I have a strange history with this album. I remember my father buying it on release. He had these huge Bluetooth headphones (when they were all the rage, remember?) and he’d … Continue reading

Violator — Depeche Mode — W.A.C.#4

My thoughts Depeche Mode enters the 90’s! Violator is truly electronic in sound and represents a step forward for the style. Personally, I don’t know quite how to describe the sound, it’s not so much moody as bleak; it feels like … Continue reading

Vulgar Display of Power — Pantera — W.A.C.#3

My thoughts Earlier this week I reviewed Out of the Silent Planet by King’s X. What interests me, from some wikipedia-ing and general info ferreting, is that this album is known as an emergence point for Groove Metal, which is basically Thrash … Continue reading

Innuendo — Queen — W.A.C.#3

Oh man this is hard… Queen’s 14th and final studio album. The last Queen album I did was in the 70’s. Freddie Mercury is dying. He has months left, they knew it and this is his swan song. 100% this … Continue reading

You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby — Fatboy Slim — W.A.C.#3

My thoughts If a think back to the late 90’s brings the visions of Brian Cox still in D.Ream, the anthem of New Labour and Tony Blair, Robbie Williams was establishing a solo career away from Take That and here emerged another … Continue reading

Sailing the Seas of Cheese — Primus — W.A.C.#2

My thoughts “Who gave you Primus!?” “Such a weird choice!” I am sitting over my keyboard, my hands mildly clawed, a smirk on my face and a feeling of sinister glee; the album is clever. Ambient creaking wood, and a … Continue reading

Riddle — Thomas Leeb — W.A.C.#1

My thoughts I think this was the first album that I really wasn’t expecting to get. We have here an artist, I daresay very few have heard of, spending time making an acoustic guitar sing. This is one of the … Continue reading
