| Caligula's Horse In Contact |
| My first contact with Caligula's Horse leaves no space for wrong impressions. They certainly rbelong to that part of the current progressive metal with great musicianship, slick production and roverall extravagance. The problem with most of these bands, is whether or not there's any meat to rbe found. For every Haken out there there are hundreds of copy cats with half the shine. rCaligula's Horse is not the case. I've found myself taken aback from the great riffs and themes. rThere are many moods explored here, from the Leprous-like Graves with the frantic saxophone, to rthe mellow ballad with 'Capulet', admittedly one of my favourite tracks off this. I've learnt to rappreciate Jim Grey's delicate voice from his other band, Arcane, and this time I feel like he routshines himself, in an album where every player strives to outshine the other. rrOf course, the album's story is characterised by the fair amount of cheese that burdens many prog ralbums nowadays. Especially the track 'Inertia and the Writing on the Wall', while containing some rgreat imagery, leaves the listener wondering, and the possibility of it being completely void of any specific purpose makes it sound awkward. However, the album is one of the best prog albums rI've heard this year and the modern-prog lover should definitely give it a spin. |

| Weyes Blood Titanic Rising |
| Weyes Blood's Titanic Rising takes the listener to a blissful cloud of strings and airy vocals, glimmering piano keys and slumbery drumming. The compositions reminiscent of older pop ballads in the same vein as ABBA and The Beatles, with modern production and indie aesthetic, interwoven with the sensitivity of singer/songwriter. The songs are lush and blooming, never particularly changing pace or face, but functioning as a safe haven, both in melody and lyrics. In rainy days, or hazy summer noons, have this album playing. |

| Amenra Mass VI |
Approaching AmenRa's music more as an artistic statement rather than a product seems unavoidable.
The band's appeal stems greatly from the fact that it works as a therapeutic experience, both in
their cathartic compositions, and on their gatherings that we call "live performances". It's
one of the few instances that the image is not an advertising gimmick or an aesthetic hollow of
substance, but it works dialectically with the lyrics, the stage presence and of course, the
music itself. The band calls for empathy in their masses, the sharing of pain and a communal walk
on the trodden path to catharsis, granting them the status of the "church" they have chosen for
themselves, only this time you will find no apprasial to a higher being, but simply to the
transcendent experience of being human. |

| Ben Howard I Forget Where We Were |
| Nothing new, nothing innovative, nothing smarter than your average singer/songwriter album, but this is just catchy and memorable and everything flows perfectly (excluding the stinker Time is Dancing, which I utterly detest). It's got the warm feeling of familiarity and genuine expression, the songs are actually strong and never overstay their welcome and the album never loses momentum in its span, with enough variety of sounds to remain interesting. One of the best albums in the genre and apparently, one of Ben Howard's crowning achievements. rEdit: my rating is no. 420 ayyyyy lmaoooooo |

Having only recently given a chance to Sunbather and finding it not quite up my alley, I was
hesitant that New Bermuda would be a challenging listen as well. On the contrary, I found it way
more accessible than its predecessor, without feeling that the band's sound had been watered down
since their sophomore album, but had only matured. Leaving aside the stylistic preferences of the
genre, the compositions were actually genious, and I found there were many genre-crossings, in a
manner I didn't expect from a black-gaze album. Little nuances and intricacies await for you to
pick up, but this is not an album that lives off subtle details, but rather on build ups and
releases, and remains suspenceful and interesting throughout. It is an album that welcomes you to
discover what's hidden inside, but also may be one of the best entry points for the band's work as
a whole. |

What is to be said is that it's a bit generic at times and needs time to delve into the tracks, mainly because there's too much going on. Last track is excellent and the vocals do it justice. Expect more from these guys. |

| Fleet Foxes Helplessness Blues |
| With undeniable creativity lushing over each song, rich vocal harmonies and a certain feel of nostalgia, this little piece of art has won the hearts of many - me included. The tribute to folk and American music that is Helplessness Blues is a solemn trip across a country I have never been to, and to a culture I've only known through more or less stereotypical projections. In the end, even for someone who's not into this genre of music, the apparent sense of honesty poured into this, the weightless feeling of choir singing and the gentle strumming of guitars over simple rhythmic patters, this album proves to be a safe place above all. A place where we can ponder upon life's purpose and our place in the world, without for once feeling attacked. |

I don't think it can reach Bilateral, but they're different in a manner. Strongly recommended. It must be a 4, but I'll let time decide.rEdit: time did its job just fine and gave this album a 4.

Why it's Good: Mastodon trace the best characteristics of each album (except of, maybe, Remission)
and blend them all together. Combined with a great theme, inspired by life's bitter taste, the
music actually manages to touch a sensitive chord, without sacrificing one bit of modern Mastodon
dynamic.
Where it lacks: apart from awkward track order and the unusual abrupt ending of a number of songs,
this really has nothing to envy from past Mastodon albums. And while some may have a problem with
the lyrics, I find them to be on the same level as before: you loved them on previous offenigs?
you'll love them again this time. |

| To no-one's surprise, PoS release a new album that sounds yet again different. Of course it's melodramatic, of course Daniel is in the spot-light, of course it's progressive - the core is the same (and not breached this time, mind you). And thankfully, it's one of the truly progressive albums of the year, which is evident by the rap-leaning t/t, the heavy procession of guitars, synth-ladden compositions and sound effects, which are not strange to progressive metal, but in no way are considered the classic formula. Make no mistake, though, strange polyrythms, unconventional song structures and long compositions are still there, so it's truly an album that will please most fans. Apart from the devisive cover art (hello Blacksad, didn't expect to see you here), the only complain would be the simplicity of some of the lyrics, which gives an uneven result. It's nice that Daniel can support his content, however (in various interviews he explains thoroughly his thinking), and it's good to see that penning lyrics is not on auto-pilot, as is the case for many bands of the genre. |

| This small collection of songs creates an indipendent and satisfying entity that shows Steven Wilson's ability to write moody songs (like the Postcard-y Happiness III, the mellow Year of Plague and the noir Sunday Rain Sets In) but also more agressive tunes, like the magnum opus My Book of Regrets, that finds SW rearranging some of his ideas into something new and beautiful. Vermillioncore is a jazzy intrumental with psychedelic influences and is bound to make the listener move his body in the rhythm. The EP closes with a new version of Don't Hate Me, where SW sings a duet with Ninet Tayeb, who we first listened on Hand.Cannot.Erase. This addition to Steven Wilson's catalogue is certainly a worthy one and works perfectly as a small treat to make the waiting for his next offering a little more bearable. |

While I wasn't excited to spin this after I learned a thing or two about the band's roots in Peste
Noir, I have to admit that it's quite a nice album. I would have preferred if the production
wasn't so dry, but I understand it's a conscious choice. I guess, if I wasn't aware of their
worldview, I would be even more into this. Solar Song is amazing, tho. |

Why it's good: A much needed revival for the band after two mediocre and ultimately disappointing
releases. Steven Wilson's unexpected return is felt as he is now as present as he used to be. The
album's theme is about ''the ocean and the circle of life''. The first half might seem a bit
lukewarm, but from 'October' onwards it is the Blackfield we always loved. Songs like the latter,
'Sorrys', 'Life is an Ocean' and 'From 44 to 48' are Blackfield classics and others are
experimentations, such as 'Lonely Soul' that doesn't quite fit the style, but is definitely a
noteworthy addition.
Where it lacks: The dim and sad tone of Blackfield is not that present. Songs tend to be mellower
and happier, with more string arrangements than before. The music fits the album cover's colours
perfectly. It's warmer and brighter, missing the x factor the band is known for. The fillers are
obvious and there's also 'Undercover Heart', whith a vocal delivery I personally detest. Add some
quirky lyrics and you have the cons of 'Blackfield V'. |

| Caligula's Horse Rise Radiant |
| In Contact is a very difficult album to follow and we should even praise CH for not even dipping in quality, as can be the case for bands after releasing personal milestones. Rise Radiant is an album that finds CH in an inspirational plateau, harvesting the fruits of their career so far and continuing expansion on their sound as it has been shaped so far. It is one amazing release for 2020, but for a band of such level we can only wait for more. |

| Callar Noise's sophomore album shouts quality, from the production and sound mixing, to the amazing cover album and, well, the music itself. rThe style these Italians play is a mix of alternative and progressive rock, sometimes fishing influences from '70s groups and sometimes drawing inspiration from more recent bands, such as Porcupine Tree (e.g. in the amazing t/t) or Phideaux. True to their country's prog-rock legacy, their compositions are more on the melodic side, with outbursts of heavyness, but never exceeding the limit, with symphonic layering here and there. It's an overlooked little gem and a fine addition to all proggers' libraries. r |

| Cult of Luna Vertikal |
| From the beutiful, trans-inducing intro, to the various bursts and rhythmic plays, Vertikal is a magnificent album that encapsulates all things we expect from Cult of Luna, and still remains fresh as an artistic statement. Claustrophobia is the axis for CoL's music, and this is yet another example of their style. The belly of the album is the 18-minute long ''Vicarious Redemption'', that unfolds as a dancing drapery fall amidst a storm and by the end of it, you are left so amased, you don't realize 20 minute have flown by. |

He's creative, distinctive, memorable, jazzy and folky. His first EP shows his capabilities, though do not deliver as much as Bilo 2.0 and 3.0. That being said, his debut work is by no means a bad or even a ''just-good'' piece of art, it's damn fine music. Well done DMM. Keep doing whatever the heck you're doing! |

| While the musicianship is excellent and the melodies are pretty well written, I believe the singer doesn't fit quite much in the whole project. His voice reminds a bit too much of Hetfield and that is a mismatch for the whole Riverside sound they want to achieve. Other than that, it's a very enjoyable album! |

| A very chill album, where JT return to form. Relaxing tracks, interesting guitar work and Ian's well known flute, creating an -if not satisfying- adequate album. Tracks like Budhapest, Farm on the Freeway and Said She Was A Dancer stake out for being really good, and Steel Monkey also catches our attention for all the wrong reasons. Yet, JT, on their 16th album, show they still have some aces up their sleeve. |

| Immunity is an album that lives up to its name. The cathartic, ritualistic and maybe even monotonous passages definitely bring to mind a process of healing. When so many listeners find in this album a sense of place and safety, I can't rate it solely on a compositional level, which in any way can't add up to the general atmosphere of the album. Another case when the sum is bigger that its parts. If you want to take a taste of the album, check ''Open Eye Signal'' and ''Immunity'' |

| M83 Hurry Up, We're Dreaming |
| While everybody loves an 80's worship, myself included, I felt a bit overwhelmed by ''Hurry Up, We're Dreaming''. For someone who started kneeling out of the metalhead closed-mindedness not that long ago, this album is a proof that pop albums can actually be described as behemoths, as heavy, as masterpieces. However, every time I need to take a deep breath before diving into this seemingly unending ocean of synths. But it's not unending, it's 22 songs long. Trimmed down, I could see this become an odd favourite, but until I start making sense of this glorious mess, it remains a promise for latter days. |

| Motorpsycho The Tower |
Motorpsycho have managed to pull through even with the major line-up changes. The Tower
is a massive album with great melodies and ideas, that takes its time to discover each and every
corner in the room before closing the door behind. After their phenomenal Here Be Monsters, they
return to a more signature sound and jam furiously in what can be one of the most satisfying
albums of the year, while also paying homage to their heroes and influences. Don't forget that the
album is complimented by one of the best looking album covers of 2017. r
Where it lacks: The sheer amount of its time (75 minutes) makes it clear that no matter how
enjoyable it is, it can be very demanding. It never gets actually tiring or boring, but there is a
bunch of moments where the fat could be trimmed down. For instance, A Pacific Sonata, clocking at
around 15', is neither that varied, nor much adventurous to justify the duration. The album is
really talkative and I bet the fans are anything but disappointed, but hopefully their next album
will be more channeled.Don't get me wrong though, this is definitely not an album to avoid. |

| Giving it a second chance after almost 2.5ing it. Musical dexterity aside, there are many rooms and corridors to explore in this album, which almost never disappoints in dynamics and stunning moments. Production helps elevate an already amazing result, an art piece filled with inspired ideas and detailed flourishes. Can prove to be tiresome for many, as it works best if listened from start to finish (as a dream sequence, the way the band intended), and individual tracks aren't as satisfactory. |

| Okay, I am not sure whether this is better than Heritagte or not. I enjoy it a lot but I believe Heritage was more diverse than this one. Maybe 5 listens are not yet enough (they were a little bit hasty tbh). It's definately the most different thing they've ever composed and it's definitely not a bad album. But, it lacks the sense of coherence and unity, and I find there are some fillers. |

| After a serious health problem, PoS's mastermind Daniel G. has returned. Before starting working officially on their new material, they create a nice copilation of old songs (including two 'new' ones), that works pretty good as a warm up. They cover previous material, softening their sound and adding a nice jazzy and bluesy vibe, crafting a hearty release that keeps us busy until their next studio album. |

What if the Cockroach King was actually a real cockroach-human crossover? Haken explore this idea
in a two album span, starting from Vector and ending (probably) with Virus. In this thriller
story, we find Haken on their most heavy, with rhythms coming to the forefront. The sound the
opted for is more modern, less melodic and definitely reflects the refined production of the genre
in 2020. Unfortunately, this side of Haken, albeit enjoyable and entertaining, doesn't add up to
something greater than the sum of its parts. Virus doesn't really stand on its own. I don't have
any problem with this face of Haken, but honestly, it pales in comparison to their versatility on
previous albums, like The Mountain and Affinity. Check out: Canary Yellow, Invasion, Messiah
Complex. |

Honestly guys, I just can get into this. Musically it's indeed excellent a 4.5/5. I'd much prefer
this in an instrumental version. But it's the other astpects of this I can't embrace. The
hyperbbolic approach in style is too much for me, thematically (I won't say lyrically, I don't
understand a word) it's a bit... odd? Vampires and French revolution, and Medieval Times and
Renaissance... The band's view on them is so fairytale-ish that I can't take them seriously. Heck,
I can't take Epica seriously most of the times now, and I believe these fellas have more cheese in
their music. Vocals are tolerable I guess, I will attribute my suspension in the fact that I'm not
familiar with the language. rHowever, in all honesty, I'd give this a 3, maybe a 3.5 for the
excellent music. |

| Before I conclude to a 3, I want to be fair. I am a bit disappointed. This could have been rexcellent, if only. Floor's vocal abilities are known. Why doesn't she uses them? We have a rreally long disc here, 1h and 18m. If some songs were dismissed, this could have been much rtighter. Of course there are awsome parts, as the opener (much power metal stuff in this) rand the last two songs. On the one hand, the opus in the end is the highlight, on the other rhand, I can't stop thinking how much better it could have been, if some of the narrating was romitted. I find the animal sounds pretty cool, but this is just a shadow of the majestic rthing it COULD HAVE BEEN! Still, maybe it's a grower. Till another opinion surfaces...3.5. |

| A nice item from Greece's rock music during the 70s. Unfortunately the band burnt out too quickly, because of allegations of rape. Some songs on here reminiscent of other bands of the time, such as Renaissance and Mamas and Papas. It flirts with many styles, at times it's more pop, at others it's more rock, with a general sense of flower-power and there's even a folk inspired song on here (Children's Stage). If language is not a serious barrier for you, it's a nice album for summer days. |

| The sense of continuity, cohesion and unity is back. Opeth made an album with a concept, not a rcollection of tunes, like PC was. The production is mediocre and damp, but the weird mix makes the ralbum sound more serious and heavy. Because it is heavy, and the production is not the ronly reason for it. Songs like The Wilde Flowers, Chrysalis and Strange Brew are excellently rwritten, and The Seventh Sojourn gives a very warm and moody (ha!) vibe. Songs like Will O' The rWisp, A Fleeting Glance and Era don't click as much, and I wouldn't mind if they were missing. As rfor the rest of the songs, Persephone I & II work great as bookends, and Sorceress II is the best rof the two ballads, with interesting sound effects. It's a new face, yet again, for Opeth, darker rthan PC and heavier than Heritage. Is it worth it? Only time can tell for sure, but for now it's a rvery entertaining album that has all the elements new Opeth have to show and a fan could want. |

| Bookends are the highlight on this album, despite their sparking differencies. Price's debut is decent not only because it shows a great ability to craft RnB atmosphere, but also because it's the product of a single person and it doesn't sound like it. While the album loses steam towards the end, So Blue is actually an attention grabber due to its bass riff. |

Utterly disappointed. Thought this was going to be better than their previous Hold Your Fire.
Instead, the band creates a bland, ''happy go lucky'' lp, with little to offer. The only songs I
found tolerable were Scars and Available Light, maybe even The Pass. These three, with the help of
some tremendous bass lines, save this album from falling into mediocrity. |

| Beautiful yes, but lacking any character. I can see and feel the emotion poured over this, but in the end I can't connect. Many songs on here could be used as soundtrack to any american break-up movie montage scene (is that even correct syntax, who knows?). Second half of the album sees a step up in qualiy, which grants this as a pleasurable album, but other than that, this wasn't the indie-pop album I was looking for. |

| It doesn't do it for me, even though I can sense what's the point of the music. I wouldn't return to it, and although it was a little over half an hour, I was waiting for it to end. I'd rate it lower, but don't want to give a negative rating since I don't feel like I ''get'' the genre. |

| The singer sings with undeniable passion. That alone seems to give the lyrics a deeper emotional depth than meets the eye, because they're too on the nose, or at least sound more preachy than emotionally expressive. Some songs are bangers (the opening two tracks stomp hard), and would be great in certain environments to highlight the mood, but I doubt I found anything specific to hold on to, from a musical standpoint. Production-wise, this is masterfully mixed. Enjoyable, yet a bit bland. 2.8/5 |
