Music

Add a comment By Dan

This year has been absolutely incredible when it comes to Music. We've been absolutely spoiled with far too much amazing music to keep up with. While dominated by several huge albums from the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift & Adele, there was still space for some smaller albums to shine. While it's tough to narrow down the list to only 10 albums we've given it our best shot and think the albums listed below all deserve at least one listen before the year is out.

Let's jump right into it and see what made the list!

10. Lana Del Rey – Honeymoon

We've got some great new albums dropping this week, so we've compiled a list of some of our most wanted!

1. Cvrches – Every Open Eye

[thumbnail=#18799411]

‘Every Open Eye’ is the follow up to the band’s breakthrough debut album, The Bones of What You Believe, which was released in September 2013 to widespread critical acclaim and went on to sell over 500,000 copies worldwide.

Sonically, Every Open Eye develops CHVRCHES’ signature style, juxtaposing the light and the dark, creating their own brand of twisted pop music that uniquely merges the organic with the electronic, moulding sounds and ideas forged over two years on the road into an electronic-pop record with a heart.

The Top Albums Releasing this Week!

It's been a quiet few weeks in terms of major music releases but it looks like the dry spell is finally over with some highly anticipated albums from Disturbed, Dr. Dre, Foals, Ghost and more due to drop this Friday!

So in no particular order, here are my Top Albums releasing this week!

Dr. Dre – Compton

I recall the first time I ever heard Dr. Dre on a track. It was 1999, I was 11 years old and han't yet discovered the wonders of Hip Hop. From the moment I heard “Forgot About Dre” I was hooked. Fast forward 16 or so years and Detox still isn't out. It was beginning to seem like the long awaited Dre album was the musical version of Big Foot.

In the first installment of our new weekly Thursday Throwback blog, we're going to be taking a stroll down memory lane and looking at some of the best songs and music videos of yester-year!

There's nothing quite like the feeling you get when listening to an old song you love, the way you somehow remember all the words, despite not having heard the song for quite some time. The way the melody takes that oh so familiar path yet still excites you after your hundredth listen.

The term “Musical Frisson” describes the chills and goosebumps you get when you hear a track that speaks to your heart and soul. The tracks below are some of my favourites that still give me the shivers to this day!

Let's get started!
