Anne-Marie Speak Your Mind Album Review
Rating: 6/10
Favourite Tracks: Ciao Adios, Alarm, Then, Bad Girlfriend, 2002
Least Favourite Track: Trigger
On this review I will be reviewing an album released today on the 27th April 2018. It is the debut album by 'Anne-Marie' called "Speak Your Mind".
Anne-Marie also known as Anne Marie Rose Nicholson is a British singer songwriter who has been in the music scene since 2015 when she released her EP "Karate". Which was a first project released from her. It was an EP with only 4 tracks which is a good start to her career even though none of the songs on that EP were being played on commercial radio. In 2016 she released her debut single "Alarm" it became a single where fans started to discover Anne-Marie. When I first heard I was mind blown on how good that track is. I first discovered Anne-Marie back when she was backing vocalist for 'Rudimental'. She was featured in a 'Rudimental' tracks called "Rumour Mill". During last year she dominated the charts with singles "Ciao Adios", "Alarm", "Friends", "2002". I am not fan of mainstram music that much but I do like a couple of mainstream music. "Ciao Adios" is a great track love the drum tempo on mid chorus part. Discussing about her debut album after hearing this album what did I think of it? I thought it was an okay album it was decent. It was a decent album but one track I thought did not go well on the entire album. It includes a squeaky EDM sound that sounds like a baby about to cry. But overall the album is not that bad. The production team includes 'Steve Mac', 'Marshmello', 'MNEK', 'Amir Amor' and many more.
Favourite tracks starting with "Ciao Adios". It's a summer vibe. It's a track that makes you want to sing a lone with Anne. I love the drums on the mid chorus. "Alarm" which was her debut single I love her energy and momentum on this track defintley one of the strongest tracks on the album. "Then" is a decent track not quite the strongest but it's still decent I like the production that Steve Mac delivers on this track. "Bad Girlfriend" Love the EDM sounds on this track. It's a good track even though should be slightly better. "2002" Ed sheeran wrote the song for Anne-Marie it's a beautiful song. Loved 'Beanie's' guitar riffs. My least favourite track was a track called "Trigger" the squeaky EDM sound had to ruin the track. It sounded like a baby about to cry.
Overall I thought this album was okay it was decent. I would listen to it again if Im in the mood for Anne-Marie. It's a 6/10

XXXTENTACION ? Album Review
XXXTentacion ? Album Review
Rating: 2/10
Favourite Tracks: Moonlight, Hope
Least Favourite Track: Going Down!
On this review I will be reviewing the new album by 'XXXTentacion' The album was released on the 16th March 2018. It is the second album by 'XXXTentacion' called "?" (Question Mark).
Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy also known as 'XXXTentacion' is an American rapper singer and songwriter from Florida. Who has been in the scene for a quite while now. I am not a fan of him I think his music isn't that good he is a piece of shit which I don't understand why people like his music from a dreadful rapper. He is one of the youngest rappers in the game along with 'Lil Pump' and other rappers. Discussing more about 'XXXtentacion' his flows just doesn't make sense the way he raps just doesn't make sense. He starts as a rapper who likes he's about to cry and then becomes an aggressive rapper. WTF? I seriously do not understand why younger people like his music. I don't really have much say about him other than his music is not good. 'XXXtentacion' has released two albums "17" which is his debut album. I did not like his debut album I thought it was just pure bad flows. Which brings us to his second album "?". I thought it was another terrible album just like his debut nothing special just boring flows once again.
Favourite tracks on the album were "Moonlight" which was an okay track his flows still doesn't surprise me but the production was decent. "Hope" another decent track his flows again still doesn't surprise me but the production was more down tempo. My least favourite track was a track called "Going Down!" which was too aggressive and weird.
Overall this was a dreadful album I would not listen to it again. It's a 2/10.

Hinds I Don't Run Album Review
Hinds I Don't Run Album Review
Rating: 6/10
Favourite Tracks: The Club, Echoing My Name, I Feel Cold But I Feel More
Least Favourite Track: New For You
On this review I will be reviewing an album released on the 6th April 2018. It is the second studio album by the band 'Hinds' called "I Dont't Run".
Hinds are a Spanish indie rock band from Madrid formed back in 2011. Which consists of four members 'Carlota Cosials', 'Ana Garcia Perrote', 'Ade Martin', 'Amber Gimbergen'. 'Hinds' are a Indie rock, Garage rock, Garage pop band. I first discovered them back in 2016 when they released their debut album "Leave Me Alone". Which is a solid debut album. They are a few tracks that I enjoyed off their debut album such as "Fat Calmed Kiddos", "Easy", "Bamboo" and many more. Their debut album was described as cheerful casual lo-fi garage rock. It sounds like surf rock from the 60s. It has 'The Beach Boys' influence. It's very interesting from a band that comes from Spain and brings back the surf rock genre back to 2018. Discussing more about their sophomore album "I Don't Run". After hearing this album what did I think of it? Well it's another decent album. I thought it was okay it wasn't that bad. It's another garage rock record and surf rock as well. They kept their sounds on the next album. I love how their voices blend in on the tracks.
Favourite tracks on the album starting with "The Club". The intro of this track really captivated me makes me want to dance. "Echoing My Name" I love the surf vibes on this track. It really takes you back to the 60s. "I Feel Cold But I Feel More" another solid track defintley makes one of the strongest tracks on the album. My least favourite track was a track called "New For You" I thought this was kind of weird track.
Overall this album was okay I enjoyed the surf rock vibes. I will defintley listen to it again. It's a 6/10.

Thirty Seconds To Mars America Album Review
Thirty Seconds To Mars America Album Review
Rating: 1/10
Favourite Track: Remedy
Least Favourite Tracks: Dangerous Night, One Track Mind, Love Is Madness
On this review I will be reviewing an album released on the 6th April 2018. It's the fifth studio album by 'Thirty Seconds To Mars' called "America".
Thirty Seconds To Mars are an American alternative rock band from Los Angeles California. Jared Leto the famous actor is also a musician the lead singer in 'Thirty Seconds To Mars'. I have never really been a fan of the band but I have listened to them before and I like their early stuff when they first started. 'Thirty Seconds To Mars' have always been an alternative rock band but they have had punk influence. However since 2018 they have decided to do a Linkin Park and a Fall Out Boy by becoming a Pop EDM band. Let me discuss through all of their albums starting with "30 Seconds To Mars" the debut self-titled. This is a good debut album despite I am not to keen on progressive rock but it's a good debut. "A Beautiful Lie" I did not really enjoy it that much but they were some decent tracks on "A Beautiful Lie". "This Is War" another good album more progressive rock and more experimental. "Love, Lust, Faith And Dreams" quite underrated album but it's bit decent. I love how it included electronic rock and experimental. Which brings us to their fifth studio album "America" after hearing this album what did I think of it? WTF is this shit? They done what Linkin Park and Fall Out Boy done saying goodbye to their old sound and approaching a sound for young EDM listeners. This album is absolutely awful I dont know what Jared Leto was thinking. Once we approach December this album will make it into my Top 10 worst albums of 2018.
I only have one favourite track on the album which was a track called "Remedy". This is the only good track on the entire album. The only track that is not really EDM it's just a calmful folk. My least favourite tracks I have 3 least favourite "Dangerous Night" quite shocked that 'Zedd' produced this since I am a fan of 'Zedd's music but this track was atrocious to listen to. "One Track Mind" featuring 'ASAP Rocky'. Screeching weird EDM Sounds. "Love Is Madness" featuring "Halsey" I dont think Halsey is the best artist in the pop scene not a fan of her. This track is just your typical EDM sounds being repeated into a loop over and over again.
This was terrible. So far it's the worst album of 2018. I would not listen to this piece of shit ever again. It's a 1/10.

Loski Call Me Loose Mixtape Review
Loski Call Me Loose Mixtape Review
Rating: 8/10
Favourite Tracks: Money And Beef, Broad Day, Call Me Loose, Teddy Bruckshot, Cool Kid, Forrest Gump,
Least Favourite Track: Shower Man
On this review I will be reviewing a Mixtape released on the 13th April 2018. It is the highly anticipated Mixtape from 'Loski' called "Call Me Loose".
The Mixtape we have all been waiting for is finally here. Loski is a rapper from South London Kennington (Harlem). Who has been trending for the last year since he has been released from prison back in June 2017. 'Loski' has been one of the most talked about artists in the drill music scene. He has been releasing some cool hard bangers such as "Teddy Bruckshot", "Cool Kid", "Call Me Loose" and many more. I do not listen to drill that much but I do like mostly artists such as 'Loski', 'Harlem Spartans', and '67'. I am more of a grime fan than a drill. Drill has always been the genre that has engaged more and more young listeners they have even inspire some young listeners in order to release their own tracks. When I was growing up pirate radio and grime music was becoming a trend. Dizzee Rascal one of my favourite grime artists of all time along with Wiley are the founders of grime music they will always be legends. I miss the good days of grime. It's a shame that not that many young people listen more to grime since they listen more to drill. I am not saying drill music is bad it's good but I just prefer grime. Discussing more about 'Loski' he has been one of the most trending artists to come out of the drill scene along with Skengdo AM, SL, 67, 410, and many more. I am very pleased that Loski announced his debut mixtape since he is my favourite artist from the drill scene. Originally the mixtape was supposed to be released in February it was delayed and now it's finally here. After hearing this mixtape what are my thoughts? This is absolutely amazing this mixtape is on fire. This is so far the best Mixtape of 2018. The bangers on this track are just too good. Loski is a genius.
My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Money And Beef" Loski does not disappoint on this track. His flows are just too good the video of the track was quite funny that one of the members had a spartan helmet on his head. The production is alright. "Broad Day" most of the fans favourite on the mixtape. This one is proper hard I feel like this should have been released before the mixtape. I would swap with call me loose. The production was dope I love how it's so hardcore that it makes you want to rap along. "Call Me Loose" this one is decent I love the part when he says "My brothers call me Loose". "Teddy Bruckshot" my personal favourite the comeback track when he was released from prison. "Talking on my name get touch" This track is so hard. It's the best one on the mixtape. The production is dope. "Cool Kid" this was a different approach since it was not really a drill vibe but it's still a cool track. "Forrest Gump" this version is so much better than the leaked version. The leaked version had difficulty problems with the pitch of Loski's singing. I enjoyed the vibe it makes me want to rave to this dope track. My least favourite track was a track called "Shower Man" it had bit too much autotune it's an alright track but not quite as strong as the others.
Overall I can say it was worth the wait. I enjoyed the mixtape. I would listen to it again. It's an 8/10.

Young Fathers Cocoa Sugar Album Review
Young Fathers Cocoa Sugar Album Review
Rating: 7/10
Favourite Tracks: See How, In My View, Turn, Lord, Border Girl, Toy
Least Favourite Track: Wire
On this review I will be reviewing the new album by 'Young Fathers' which was released on the 9th March 2018. It is the third studio album by the Scottish Hip Hop group 'Young Fathers' called "Cocoa Sugar".
Young Fathers are a Scottish hip hop group which consists of three members. 'Alloysious Massaquoi', 'Kayus Bankole', 'G Hastings'. I have been fan of 'Young Fathers' since I heard the track "Get Up" back in 2014 from their debut album "Dead". They have a mercury music prize under their belts with their debut album "Dead". At the time during the 2014 mercury music prize. I did not expect them to win it. Since I thought 'FKA Twigs' would win it. "Dead" is an alright album with some decent tracks. The group has released three studio albums and two mixtapes. I have listened to all of their projects quite impressed actually with their work. Starting with their mixtapes "Tape One" was their first mixtape released back in 2011. This mixtape is decent I love how experimental it is. It's hardcore hip hop on the first tape. "Tape Two" was their second mixtape released back in 2013. I much prefer their second mixtape than the first one. I love the build up and the songwriting on "Tape Two". It also has some R&B on "Tape Two". Moving on to their studio albums. "Dead" which is their debut album released in 2014. It's a good debut album with some good tracks. The track "Get Up is a great track defintley their best track overall. "White Men Are Black Men Too" which is their second studio album. I enjoyed their second album quite a lot it's a strong album. I loved the tracks "Feasting", "Sirens", "Old Rock N Roll". And now we move on to their third album "Cocoa Sugar" after hearing this album what did I think of it? Another great album from the group I enjoyed this album. I knew this album would be good. I love how it's experimental once again and I love how the track "Lord" references as Gospel. It's a good album defintley recommend checking it out if you have not heard of them.
My favourite tracks on the album starting with "See How" I love the suspense of the intro. It's a great track I love the lyrics on this track it's a shame it's only a short track. "In My View" it's one of the tracks that I sing a long to. The production is excellent it sounds a bit like indie pop into hip hop. "Turn" it's another decent track quite underrated too. "Lord" it's a beautiful gospel track. It's such an uplifting emotional track. "Border Girl" it's a catchy track with interesting lyrics. The production goes well with this track. It sounds like a 90s R&B track. It sounds bit like 'Montell Jordan'. "Toy" it sounds bit like their first album from one of their tracks. I love how the production is so fast since after all they are an experimental group. My least favourite track was a track called "Wire" the track did not amaze me it sounds weird. It's one of the weakest on the album.
Overall I thought this album was good quite enjoyed it. 'Young Fathers' never disappoint when it comes to releasing albums. I will defintley listen to it again. It's a 7/10.

Kylie Minogue Golden Album Review
Kylie Minogue Golden Album Review
Rating: 4/10
Favourite Tracks: Sincerely Yours, Music's Too Sad Without You
Least Favourite Track: Dancing
On this review I will be reviewing an album released on the 6th April 2018. It is the fourteenth studio album by Kylie Minogue called "Golden".
Kylie Minogue is an Australian pop artist who used to be a big popstar when she used to be on the charts dominating. Her biggest singles are "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", "Spinning Around", "The Locomotion" and many more. I have never really been a fan of her music however I do like a couple of her songs such as "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", "Spinning Around", "Love At First Sight" and many more. She is not my favourite female artist I just think her music is not as good as it used to be. She's like Madonna both artists still think they are relevant to today's music which at the end both are irrelevant. During the time of Kylie's career she has released some good albums some average albums and a bad album. If I had to pick a favourite 'Kylie' album it would be "Fever" This album she was more experimental with a bit of Pop electronic to it. Discussing more about the album "Golden" what did I think of it? I think you know the answer already this album was shit. This album is a car crash. First it starts as Country then pop then experimental and then country then back to pop. I did not like the idea of her album to be country pop. I actually thought it would be another experimental album. This album is not good at all. Her old albums are so much better. This album is like a crossover of Dolly Parton. I just feel this album was not for me.
My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Sincerely Yours" it's a beautiful song I do not know why she did not release this as the single instead of "Dancing". Beautiful song about love it's definitely the strongest on the entire album. "Music's Too Sad Without You" another emotional track on the album again why didn't she release this as a bloody single. My least favourite track "Dancing" the production was awful with a squeaky high pitch noise.
I did not enjoy this album it was not for me. I just think her old albums are much better than "Golden". I respect everyone's opinions if they liked it but it was not for me. It's a 4/10

Discussing more about the album "Golden" what did I think of it? I think you know the answer already this album was shit. This album is a car crash. First it starts as Country then pop then experimental and then country then back to pop. I did not like the idea of her album to be country pop. I actually thought it would be another experimental album. This album is not good at all. Her old albums are so much better. This album is like a crossover of Dolly Parton. I just feel this album was not for me.
My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Sincerely Yours" it's a beautiful song I do not know why she did not release this as the single instead of "Dancing". Beautiful song about love it's definitely the strongest on the entire album. "Music's Too Sad Without You" another emotional track on the album again why didn't she release this as a bloody single. My least favourite track "Dancing" the production was awful with a squeaky high pitch noise.
I did not enjoy this album it was not for me. I just think her old albums are much better than "Golden". I respect everyone's opinions if they liked it but it was not for me. It's a 4/10
Superorganism Self-Titled Album Review

Favourite Tracks: Everybody Wants To Be Famous, Nobody Cares, Something For Your M.I.N.D., The Prawn Song
Least Favourite Track: Reflections On The Screen
On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released on the 2nd March 2018. It's the self-titled debut album by 'Superorganism'.
Superorganism are a group from London with members from different parts of the world. They are one of the most highly anticipated bands of 2018 so far. They began releasing singles such as "Something For Your Mind", "Everybody Wants To Be Famous". I first discovered them from a TV performance on the Jools Holland show 'Later With Jools Holland'. They performed "Something For Your M.I.N.D.". I was mind-blown with how excellent they are. They are like 'Brockhampton' but with Indie-pop instead of rap. This band is one of the most talked bands of 2018. The lead singer 'Orono Noguchi' is the youngest in the band at only 18 years old while the rest of the members are in their mid 20s. The band has not really released that many projects since they are a new band. After hearing their debut album what did I think of it? I thought it was a good debut album. I had a positive feeling that this album was going to be good. I enjoyed the sounds and the synthesizers that this band creates. It's like a mixture of 'The Avalanches' and 'Gorillaz'. I really enjoy listening to this band. I want to wish them all the best for the future and hoping more albums to be released along the way.
My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Everybody Wants To Be Famous". This track is freaking amazing. The synthesizers and the sequencer is amazing. It feels like your in the jungle with these mystery sounds. "Nobody Cares" another great track love the backing vocals of the other band members. It's quite an underrated track on the album due to the great piano synthesizer on this track. "Something For Your M.I.N.D." What an enjoyable track. My overall favourite on the album. I love the chorus part when they sing 'Something For Your M.I.N.D. Mind Mind. I loved how they use a sample of the track to make it sound even better it definitely sounds better with the backing vocals. It sounds like a tropical disco funky track. "The Prawn Song" it's quite a cool track with interesting high low pitch sounds. My least favourite track was a track called "Reflections On The Screen" It was quite weird thought the production was weak.
Overall I enjoyed this album I thought it was good album. I will definitely listen to it again. It's a 7/10.

Brian Wilson Presents Smile Album Review
Brian Wilson Presents Smile Album Review
Rating: 10/10
Favourite Tracks: Heroes And Villains, Cabin Essence,Surf's Up, Vega-Tables, On A Holiday, Good Vibrations
Least Favourite Track: N/A
Today's review I will be reviewing an album released 14 years ago. It's a classic review by the legend himself Mr Brian Wilson with his sixth studio album "Smile".
Mr Brian Douglas Wilson is an American Singer/Songwriter and record producer. Who you may know as a member of the 60s group 'The Beach Boys'. Brian has had a great career during the 60s. 'The Beach Boys' were one of the most pleasurable acts of the 1960s. The 60s had awesome musicians/bands coming through such as 'Jimi Hendrix', 'The Rolling Stones', 'The Beatles', 'Pink Floyd', 'Bob Dylan', 'Joan Baez', 'Neil Young' and of course 'The Beach Boys'. During the 60s these great artists with their great music were being played. But their was one band that was so different to others and that was 'The Beach Boys' When 'The Beach Boys' first started their sound was surfing safari music. They were a surf band before they became Rock and Pop. When I go back and hear their debut album 'Surfin Safari' I feel like I am chilling in Hawaii drinking a tropical drink whilst listening to the debut. Their debut album is a good debut album with Garage surf. During those years the band released some underrated albums until 'Pet Sounds' came along in 1966. 'Pet Sounds' is one of my favourite albums from the 60s along with Bob Dylan's 'Blonde On Blonde' and Neil Young's second studio album 'Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere'. Brian Wilson's production on 'Pet Sounds' is truly amazing it was a new sound from the band despite during those years of the surf sound. I love the song 'Wouldn't It Be Nice' I play it all the time when I listen to the Beach Boys it's such an amazing song. Discussing about Brian's solo career now. Brian has released 11 studio albums. I have only heard 4/11 albums from Brian. Since hearing "Brian Wilson Presents Smile" what did I think of it? Well to start I have heard this album before back in the end of 2016. I thought this album was Brian's best work. I can't believe that it was originally supposed to be the band's album following up to 'Pet Sounds'. Years later it became Brian's sixth studio album.
My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Heroes And Villains" it's a great track love Brian's songwriting on the track. It's a great tune. "Cabin Essence" it feels like a happy 60s song. It sounds like it was from 60s. "Surf's Up" originally this track was a 60s recording which later was released on the 'Smile' album. It's an interesting track I enjoyed the piano melody along with the trumpet it really does match together. I loved the harmony on this joyful track. "Vega-tables" sounds a bit like a rock n roll 50s track. Quite enjoyed this one. "On A Holiday" love the sounds on this track it's sounds bit like a cartoon song it's quite enjoyable. "Good Vibrations" the all-time classic Beach boys. This is superb. This track is amazing I love the production on this amazing track. No least favourites.
This album is a classic and it will always be. Defintley will listen to it again. It's a 10/10.

Cardi B Invasion Of Privacy Album Review
Cardi B Invasion Of Privacy Album Review
Rating: 5/10
Favourite Tracks: Bodak Yellow, Be Careful, Ring, I Do
Least Favourite Track: I Like It
I will be reviewing the debut album by 'Cardi B' released today called "Invasion Of Privacy".
Cardi B also known as 'Belcalis Almanzar' is an American rapper from Bronx New York. She became an internet celebrity through Instagram. She also became a celebrity from a show called Love & Hip Hop. I have never seen the show but I have seen a couple of video clips from the show all I can say is that she is crazy and wild. Cardi B has been featured in 'Migos' tracks such as 'Motorsport' which I did not like. It's sounds like she is the fourth member of the trap group 'Migos'. As you may not know I dislike 'Migos' I think that they are uncreative and untalented. I do not see the hype for 'Migos' they are so irritating, Discussing about 'Cardi B' she has released 2 mixtapes and her debut album. I haven't heard her two mixtapes but I have heard couple of songs from therm where as I have listened to her full album today. After hearing her debut album what did I think? As I knew from the start this album did not surprise me. I just thought it was the same old Cardi B as in "Bodak Yellow". I was impressed with some of the tracks on this album such as "I Do" featuring 'SZA'. As a fan of 'SZA' I did not expect her to feature on Cardi b's album. I was impressed with both they done a good job together. I feel like she should have released "I Do" as a single instead of "Bartier Cardi".
My favourite songs on the album starting with "Bodak Yellow" the summer smashing hit from 2017. One of the best songs of 2017 that was mentioned on my list. This song is a great song. I love how the production is so catchy it makes you want to sing along with her verses. "Be Careful" was a surprising track. I did not expect 'Cardi B' to release a song so different. I quite like it actually. It's a warning for Offset after he's been accused of cheating. "Ring" is a decent track it's alright not the strongest but it's decent. "I Do" My overall favourite on the album featuring the beautiful amazing talented "SZA". I love this track it's a strong track from both good artists. Love SZA verse on this track. I also love Cardi B verse on this track. My least favourite track was a track called "I Like It". I think it's a rip off to another track called "I Like It Like That" by 'Pete Rodriguez'. Can't believe they ripped of that song WTF!
Overall the album is average. I probably won't listen to it again only my favourite songs I will listen to. It's a 5/10.

Oasis Definitely Maybe Album Review
Oasis Definitely Maybe Album Review (100th Review)
Rating: 10/10
Favourite Tracks: Rock N Roll Star, Live Forever, Columbia, Supersonic, Cigarettes & Alcohol
Least Favourite Track: N/A
On this review for the 100th review on my album review blog. I will be reviewing Oasis debut album "Definitely Maybe".
Oasis were a Brit-pop rock n roll band from Manchester. I don't often listen to them that much but I love the first two albums "Definitely Maybe", "What's The Story Morning Glory" (My personal favourite). Oasis have always been one of the best band to come from the Manchester music scene. 'Oasis' and 'The Smiths' are two of the bands from the Manchester scene that are one of the best. During the 90s 'Oasis' has been described as the new Beatles. Discussing more about the band. It was about two brothers 'Liam Gallagher', 'Noel Gallagher' who dominated the 90s scene with their Rock N Roll music. They truly dominated the charts. The band has released 7 studio albums. I only like 3 albums from them the rest I thought was too average not quite strong as the first two. The only 'Oasis' albums I liked were "Definitely Maybe", "Whats's The Story Morning Glory", and "Don't Believe The Truth". These are the only 3 that I listen to more the rest I didn't enjoy it as these 3. Oasis have inspired so many bands today such as "Arctic Monkeys", "Kasabian" and many more. Discussing about "Definitely Maybe" this album shocked the rock scene on how brilliant and well produced this albums is. I like Liam's vocals on this album truly identifies as a true rockstar with those rock n roll vocals. Liam was mostly responsible for singing whereas Noel was the songwriter and the guitar player. He was also a backup vocalist for the track "Live Forever" But on the next album Noel had to do most of the singing. This album defintley gets me going when Im feeling the rock mood. It's obviously a masterpiece I would defintley recommend checking it out if you have not heard of it. This is the album that kicked off their careers by becoming an important figure for British music in the 90s.
My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Rock N Roll Star" I love how the guitar opens up the track. It's a decent song decent opener but it still sounds decent with Liam's vocals. "Live Forever" I would like to congratulate this song as it won Best British Song voted by Radio X Listeners. The track is amazing it's a joyful song that makes you want to sing a long. This song defintley makes it top my top 10 favourite Oasis songs. "Columbia" I thought this track was quite underrated I feel like this should have been one of singles to be released before the album release. "Supersonic" Oasis debut single. It's a cool song Liam's lyrics is very interesting as referes to "Supersonic" as a train. "Cigarettes & Alcohol" the track fuses with Indie rock and heavy rock. It's a decent track not as strong as the others but it still decent. No least favourite tracks on the album.
I enjoyed reviewing Oasis "Defintley Maybe" for my 100th review. It's a masterpiece it will always be an important album for Oasis fans. Defintley will listen to it again and again. It's a 10/10.
