Godsmack Lighting Up the Sky
Godsmack deliver the kind of music that I enjoy the most and this is the blend of hard-rock-meets-metal. Despite the fiery and melodious vocals of Sully Erna, compositions as a whole are not memorable and choruses lack catchiness. The band has announced that no more albums will be recorded following Lightning Up the Sky. Recommendations: "Surrender", "What About Me", "Best of Times".		2.5

James Yummy
The last time I listened to an album from the Mancunian indie-rockers was back in 2014 with their album La Petit Mort. James always sounded like a band with well-worked lyrics but in Yummy they have taken it to the next level. The opener ?Is This Love? is an absolute James classic that contemplates the meaning of love with some delicate strings and rousing synths. The romance continues in the beautiful ?Better With You?, where love is the answer and it?s the only ingredient that people need. Celebrating the everyday, ?Life?s A Fucking Miracle? is as joyful and life-affirming as the title suggests. The track also encourages i		3.5

Archival Your Kingdom
Archival's sophomore release comes rather quickly given that Fear and Hate was released only a year before. The album has a similar character to the debut, as Ben Ragan is behind the mic and Nick Johnstonrorchestrating guitars and production. The virtuoso applies his characteristic guitar riffs here and there ('Proof', 'Growing Cold', Weightless') but in fairness, Your Kingdom is more a collaboration than a typical Johnston-esque release. A minor improvement is apparent but still, a lot of work needs to be done. Recommendations: "Chemicals", "The Only Way", "Seaside".		3.0

El Perro Hair Of
El Perro consists of former Radio Moscow members Parker Griggs (vocals, guitar) and Lonnie Blantonr(drums), who are supported by Shawn Davis (bass) and Holland Redd (guitar). Similar to his workrwith Radio Moscow, Parker is heavily influenced by Hendrix as Hair of is infused with constant psychedelic whah-whahs and garnished by bluesy guitar licks. No major differences or highlights in comparison to Moscow's work. Recommendations: "No Harm", "K.Mt.", "The Mould".		3.0

Staind Confessions Of The Fallen
Staind has been a band that I used to like a lot and Break the Cycle was one of my favorie albums back in the day. After some fruitless attempts which I accedentally listened to (The Illusion of Progress and Staind), even Lewis himself gave up. Fast forward to 2023 and 12 years after Lewis' escapade in country music, Staind returns to the nu metal style that made them famous in the very begining. I admit that Confessions of the Fallen caught me by surprise as it has the all the elements that made me like this band in the first place. It has the traditional heaviness in the riffs, the memorable choruses and 		3.5

Nick Johnston Child of Bliss
Child of Bliss is another great instrumental album by virtuoso guitarist Nick Johnston. Following two mediocre albums, he returns with a new escapade, mimicking the wonders of Remarkably Human. Anyone who is familiar with Johnston's work, he knows that he approaches his instrument rather differently from most guitar players and in essence, this is what makes him stand out. Rather than focusing on speedy guitar heroics, he is surfing so eloquently on the shores of progressive rock, blues and jazz in a melodic way with his lush chord progressions creating some memorable lead motifs. Nick plays all the guitar, keyboards and syn		4.0

Staind Dysfunction
Staind's debut album is a mediocre effort that contains lots of chunky nu-metal riffs and Aaron Lewis delivering in an angry tone his depressing lyrics. Recommendations: "Mudshovel", "Home".		2.5
