Album Review – My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West

Kanye West couldn’t have come up with a more apt description of his latest record than the very title he gave it; My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is just that. Anyone familiar with Kanye’s Twitter feed will know just how erratic he can be. Tweets about his new diamond teeth run close to hour long [ READ MORE ]

Album Review – Progress by Take That

With the fastest selling tour in British history tucked firmly under the belts of the recently reformed five piece, you’d be forgiven for expecting an album harking back to their 90′s heyday. However with Progress, the band have released one of the most striking albums of the year. Lead single ‘The Flood’ is the closest [ READ MORE ]

Album Review – Loud by Rihanna

“Hey Mr DJ won’t you turn the music up?” When Rihanna released her debut album Music Of The Sun in 2005 she was 17 years old, and the album’s opening track ‘Pon De Replay’ was about a DJ not playing music loud enough.

Album Review – Nothing by N*E*R*D

After being supremely underwhelmed by N*E*R*D’s performance at Glastonbury Festival in 2009 and appalled at the band’s behaviour following the plug being pulled on them for running over their time slot, I approached their new album with trepidation. However that trepidation was unnecessary, as Nothing is N*E*R*D’s strongest album since In Search Of… . Lead [ READ MORE ]

With the X Factor only broadcasting on Saturday and Sunday nights, the rest of the week has become hopelessly boring with no contestants to judge, or judges to insult. Thank goodness then that production has rolled out on all number of X Factor related merchandise to keep us entertained while we wait for each week’s [ READ MORE ]
