Album Reviews

Three Days Grace - Three Days Grace (2003)

  • Emo

  • Perfect Album

Their first album has no dud songs in it! The riffs slap, and the theme of the overall album is strong and super edgy.

It's only 44 minutes so give it a listen!

In The Court Of The Dragon - Trivium (2021)

  • Heavy Metal

  • Perfect Album

An absolutely fantastic album from one of modern metal's greats that brings together the best aspects of Trivium's earlier work. X sets a moody tone before things really kick off with the title track. Each song has its own unique identity and none feels like filler. Great vocals and drum work are a constant. My favourite track is Like A Sword Over Damocles, hitting hard with engaging riffs and melody, although the longer tracks also stand out as particularly good with masterful progression.

If I Left the Country - Self Help (2020)

  • Jangle pop

  • Psychadelic rock

I can really picture these guys blowing up... the musicianship is really up there, they have a uncooly-cool aesthetic, and their lyricism fronts a relatable and not at all overdone level of self-contempt.

I can't give it less than a 9/10
