Green Day: Saviors. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10

Life’s a riot when the world is in flames, for the urge to rebel and beat down the doors of every major institution, to ransack and remove from the super-rich the means of influence is what boils the blood, and yet we must be wary of those we proclaim as saviours, as the angels of mercy who act with the grin and the sleight of hand and offer us words and possible actions, whilst not actually providing the sustenance of existence in the new world they have planned out in the back of their minds.

Alice Di Micele: Interpretations Vol 1. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

We must be resolute in our pursuit of being unique, even in the way we are guided by the voices of others, we must at all costs seek to stamp our own authority on what came before with matchless rarity, a dominating flavour that should be seen to all who observe as an exceptionality, as explosive as uncommon as a star entering its supernova stage just as we happen to look to the heavens.

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes: Dark Rainbow. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Somewhere over the rainbow there stands a pot of gold, but beware you don’t follow the wrong natural marvel in the sky, be cautious of the colours that slowly fade to black, because what is more valuable than an ingot taken from a pot and guarded by some unearthly creature, is the vessel released once you follow the Dark Rainbow, the one that Dorothy Gale herself would have had a finer time in awe of; especially if she had the opportunity to be thrust into the path of Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes’ new and generously sublime offering, Dark Rainbow.

Dot Dash: 16 Again. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

In the midst of the eternal grumble by those who didn’t make the most of their youth, to be 16 Again is an emotional declaration that we can mostly all agree with as we look to the moments where our mistakes are magnified, and our missed opportunities regretted to the point of exhaustion.

Fran Ashcroft: The Songs That Never Were. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

All that never was alludes us, not because it hasn’t been acknowledged, but because it has been carefully constructed so it might allude us, never making itself clear until we are ready to have our souls rocked by the revelation and the passion that strides into our lives with confidence and no illusion.

The Miserable Rich: Overcome. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Until it happens to us, we can never be sure how we would triumph or yield to that which we seek to make approaches to in restoring a friendship that had been allowed to falter, or one that had been broken by time; how we Overcome our own dystopian grievances and turn back the clock in order to move forward is very much up to the presence of empathy and how your soul requires peace and adventure with those who understand you better than anyone else in the world.

False Tracks: Hymn For Terror. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The pulpit is always on hand for the false declaration raised to the dark skies from the shaking fist and the determined growl of the priest more in tune with trembling the souls of the unenlightened than it is for soothing words from those whose words are placed with care before the crowd and urging the truth to be dispensed as they sing Hymns For Terror and odes and to human joy.

Ignis Absconditus: Golden Horses Of A Dying Future. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The pained, the melancholic, and the theatrical have many heroes, it is the gift of feeling empathy that sees such fighters of a resistance to the boldly beige and the fawning styles of the dull routine which assures a kind of victory for the moral supporters of expression.

For freedom to express desire and wit, to choose understanding pain rather than riding over it roughshod because it makes you feel uncomfortable, we must utilise empathy as a truth, that it not the same as sympathy, but a separate and living beast which sniffs out the cruel and fiercely underdeveloped.

Gillian Fleetwood: Together With Yourself At Sea Level. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Art is not the demolition of history, it is the pleasure of being in its company, of presenting different sides, a viewpoint which might other wise go unnoticed, or even unheard, it is the ability to see the perspective from neither above nor below, but at one with the piece, as if you were able to visualise existence Together With Yourself At Sea Level.

DYMYTRY: Five Angry Men. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The angry men, and women, are the main reason why our planet is on the edge of constant conflict, environmental disaster, and the tipping point of nuclear annihilation. It is no secret that the large egos and the owners of the heated hearts with nowhere to vent their bigotry, their illusions of grander, the self-possessed leaders who see with hate, are the ones to whom we shall blame when the fuel burns and becomes a fire tornado consuming all.
