Richard Marx, Limitless. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There is every reason to enjoy the feeling of the broken heart that has been delivered with sincerity by the artist, and unlike real life where the pain lingers in your soul for what can be the longest time and can which devour you till there is nothing but a shell residing in human form, when it is felt in the connection between art and human existence, it comes with the knowledge that heart will mend, that it will grow and appreciate what was put before them.

Green Day, Father Of All… Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * *

The life and death of the party are twin elements in which the voyeur is drawn to, across all aspects of art, these two chains of interpretation can always be seen hogging the limelight, jostling for attention as the crowds gather to witness exuberance dance with melancholy and the animated conversation thrive between the energetic soul and the downward spiral of the unravelling passion.

Inside No.9: Death Be Not Proud. Television Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Steve Pemberton, Reece Shearsmith, Jenna Coleman, Kadiff Kirwan.

It is not always about who we let into our lives that should be of a concern, it ought to be those we refuse to let go of that would surely be the most troubling; the presence in the room that we cannot somehow live without, such is the fear of letting go that occasionally we find troubled souls and the homes they have made, are nothing more than shrines to ones to whom that refuse to leave.

The cult of celebrity is such that when an opportunity presents itself in which you can manipulate it to your own advantage and yet when found to be lying to the public, you can arrange an interview which whitewashes your sins and transgressions and the whole world will still love you. The ordinary citizen suffers under the weight of their choice and the sufferance of demonisation by their friends and loved ones, the celebrity weathers the storm and be applauded for their honesty, even in the face of murder.

My Dying Bride, Tired Of Tears. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

We should be declaring that we are sick of being sick from the rooftops, and demanding that those that make up the one percent elite listen when we shout that we are Tired Of Tears and that we should be able to believe just that little bit more in the power of humanity, that we can endure the worst nightmares that come our way and that those rains that fall from the eyes are only released when we have joy and the memory of beauty in our minds.
