Wire: Mind Hive Review

This kind of took long and kind of didn’t. It took longer than I hoped, but most of it came together over a few lazy hours. I knocked out a whole lot of notes one day last week, then scrapped … Continue reading

Owen Rabbit: Live at Record Crate 27/01/2017

I’m looking upon some of this and it makes me think of some of the stuff I wrote in 2006 and 2007. That’s stuff that I should look over sooner rather than later, but I’m pretty sure there were live … Continue reading

Good Old War: Broken Into Better Shape Review

This was the fifth album review I wrote for Cool Try. I think that at the time I was pretty happy with what I wrote. Looking at it now makes me realise that it is far, far too short. The … Continue reading

Screamfeeder: Pop Guilt Review

I thought I shared this review here when I wrote it in 2017, but that appears to have not been the case. I feel this review is a little on the short side. For my review attempts, three-hundred words is … Continue reading

Omahara: Upsilamba Review

I had to think about whether I was going to share this review here or wait a while. When it comes to sharing what I’ve written, it has a lot to do with whether I purchased what the review is … Continue reading

Envy: The Fallen Crimson Review

Once more a review that took far, far too long to complete. What I originally had was mostly complete. I ended up rewriting most of it, though not intentionally. It was a stressful process, though considering most of the review … Continue reading

Born Lion: Final Words Review

I can’t remember at all what this sounds like. I also can’t remember reviewing the album. It’s kind of odd as there are a bunch where I’ve seen the review I’ve written and gone “Oh, I remember covering that”, but … Continue reading

…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead: X: The Godless Void and Other Stories Review

This review took far too long. I’d started it in early February and now here we are. Most of this came together yesterday and this morning. I’d written a number of really rough paragraphs and started reworking those. Aside form … Continue reading

The Lulu Raes: All our Parents are Divorced Review

Another review far too short. This one really reads too much like a long blurb, I think. There are quite a few of these reviews I wrote for Cool Try where I can’t remember the sound of the release I … Continue reading

Wild Honey: Wild Honey Review

Another review from the Cool Try days. This one is too short. I touched on things I wanted to, but those things needed significant expanding upon. Once more this is a review that reads far too much like dot points. … Continue reading
