Dodo's Album Reviews

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing Radiohead's sophomore release, The Bends. After the disappointment that was their debut, we find considerable evolution in this album. Much more memorable hooks and better moments. However, that can't be said about the opener Planet Telex, with some very annoying vocals, a bland sounding rock instrumental and little to no progression, leading to the four minute length of this track being rather forced. Same with the title track, with a very forgettable instrumental and barely audible vocals. But after those two, we get into the good stuff with High And Dry. The easy going instrumental, the soft vocals, they all culminate to create a nice, yet mellow song. But the saddest song on here has to be Fake Plastic Trees. A similiar instrumental to the previous track, but the vocal performance really sets it apart. We also find a more energetic section in the middle, later returning to the melancholy of the rest of the ...

  Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, we are reviewing Queen's final album, Made In Heaven. This is a "posthumous" album of sorts, because it was released 4 years after Freddie's death, thus the band's death as well. But somehow, the group managed to make an entire album out of recordings Freddie made while he was still alive. Let's see how that turned out... We open on It's A Beautiful Day, a short piano driven song. Not that special, but was a decent opener. Next we have the title track, which is actually a remake of a song off of Freddie's solo album. And I must say, this version is miles better than the original version. It sounds so much better with a guitar. Let Me Live was a mediocre song. Roger Taylor sings on here as well, but it really just pulls the song down. It also drags on for way too long. Mother Love is a bit more of a mellower song, with vocals from Brian May. The guitar on here sounds incredibly nice, and it creates a gor...

Greetings, everyone! How are y'all doing? I hope you're all doing great. Anyways, today we will be talking about the highly experimental Aphex Twin album, "...I Care Because You Do". This album, leaving aside it's cover lol, was quite a handful and left me with a weird taste in my mouth. The music was all over the place and the beats we're messy. Let's get a bit more in depth, shall we? The first song, Acrid Avid Jam Shred, was a pretty nice start to the album, giving off a hip-hop type beat, with a fuzzy synth melody alongside it. It was very noise-rich and had some weird sound effects here and there, but was overall a good song. The Waxen Pith had a very nostalgic vibe for some reason, but at the same, felt very melancholic, like something was coming to a close, like moving out of town, leaving your friends behind, seeing all the places you've been to fade away. I don't know, it just felt very sad and is one of my favourite songs o the album. Wax...
