ALBUM REVIEW: CHVRCHES - LOVE IS DEAD  Yes, i'm late to reviewing this album. But hey, better late than never right? Either way, Chvrches are a Synth-Pop group hailling from Glasgow Scotland, They have released their debut album in 2013 titled ''The Bones of What You Believe In'', a great slice of some well produced Synth-Pop with some tight melodies & grooves, and could easilly be called one of the best albums of 2013. 2 years later they released ''Every Open Eye'', which i thought was even better and is probably one of the best Pop albums of the decade, and easily the best of 2015. And now (Couple months ago), they released their new ''Love is Dead'', how did it go? Sigh... I'm convlicted. Seriously, i was pretty worried about this album. Not to say that the album is bad, it's definitley not bad at all. But, i don't think this album was all that memorable for some parts, and that's pretty dissapointing. But

THE BEST ALBUMS/SONGS OF THE MIDYEAR - 2018 Wow! We are already halfway through the year, man time is flying so fast. Either way, Today we are counting down the best albums & songs from the first half of 2018. And while 2018 hasn't exactly been a great year in music (esspecially for Billboard) but i still had to make some painfull cuts for my albums list for example, Parquet Courts, Evidence, Ghost, Caitlyn Smith, JPEGMAFIA, Anna von Hauswolff, Judas Priest, Screaming Females, & Lauren Ruth Ward. All of these artists have released albums that i thought were great this year but just missed the cut, but they still have a shot for my top 30 favorite albums of 2018 at the end of the year because tastes change.  And now let's go to the list, but before that, i would like to shoutout some songs from albums that didn't make the list, but still deserve a shoutout because they're awesome: BØRNS - I Don't Want U Back (From the Album: Blue Madonna) Ron Ga

ALBUM REVIEW: 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER - YOUNGBLOOD I think 5SOS are a pretty decent band, but this album is awful. It reminds me of what Weezer did on their last album (which was in my opinion one of worst albums of 2017) and somehow worse moments. The vocals of Luke Hemmings sound really REALLY bad in some of the songs and sometimes it does not fit with the production, especially on the title track where he is doing these vocal shouts which do not fit in for me, it just sounds annoying. And while there are some good songs on here, but they are not enough to make the album better than awfull. Either way, this is a big step down for 5SOS, and it's also one of the most unlistenable Pop albums i've heard this year. In other words, i'd skip it. Best Songs: 'More', 'Want You Back' Worst Songs: 'Youngblood', 'If Walls Could Talk', 'Valentine', 'Why Won't You Love Me', 'Moving Along', 'Better Man', '

                                MINI   REVIEWS :  Welcome to Mini Reviews, these reviews are short reviews of albums. Alright guys so let's go.                THE WEEKND - MY DEAR MELANCHOLY. Now here is an EP that everyone has already forgotten about, i'm not a fan of The Weeknd, but this is still pretty boring and underwhelming. Best Songs: 'Hurt You' ft. Gesaffelstein, 'Wasted Times' Worst Song: 'Try Me' Rating: 5/10                        CHARLIE PUTH - VOICENOTES. Hey! This is actually a decent album, It's got some good grooves & melodies, but there are some low points on the album. So overall, decent album Charlie, this is an improvement.

Boyz II Men, 'Somebody Told Me', 'Slow It Down', 'Empty Cups', 'Attention' Worst Song: 'BOY' Rating: 6/10                      FRANK TURNER
