It’s truly a fun listen with lots of cool collabs and many vibey lyrics that reference late nights in Hollywood, cool party girls, mistakes in love and out of love and of course “The One”. It’s the album to me that most bridges the gap between the Songs About Jane fans and the fans that discovered them via Pop radio. Maroon 5’s Red Pill Blues is there most musically diverse album. But for me the track “Aurelia” is the standout beautiful, haunting, calming all with the AFI’s core rock values. “Feed from the Floor” has got a great New Wave 80’s vibe and the lyrics are a great juxtaposition to it. Davey’s vocals are peak especially on tracks like “Still A Stranger”, “White Offerings” & “Dumb Kids” (both songs bring back to mind their early punk days so well) & “Dark Snow”. Something that hangs about throughout the album though not overwhelming as it was on Burials. The Blood Album is no different besides the fact that it’s the bands best work to date. Each record is so different while still keeping the core elements of AFI. But my point is that’s art, that’s creativity, that’s AFI and what I love most about AFI. I can safely the band has put out several releases each completely unlike the other it might make your head spin. Having been a fan for a long time now (since the tail end of DECEMBERUNDERGROUND). If you like rock music then this is a great bet. But Josh’s voice is what really pushes it over the edge, it’s raw and different than a lot out there. Mondo had a radio hit with “Shine” which is a beautiful song about never giving up on ones dreams. Namely on the title track, “Come With Me” and “Chemical Dream”.

To describe the album is hard but it’s rock at its core, soulful with its vibe and intention with many unique samples interspersed throughout the album. I loved the music so I was anxious to hear his debut ironically titled “Plastic Soul”.

After discovering him on Bastille’s Wild Wild World tour earlier this year. What’s a Mondo Cozmo? Well, it’s really the stage name of Joshua Ostrander (Eastern Conference Champions) but with this and long hard work, of course, he’s finally struck gold. Overall it’s a great road trip record and beautiful ode to rock of the 60s and 70s without being dated. Which leads me to say that Niall is definitely one to see live. But softer songs like “Paper Houses” and the title track are the crowd faves. My favorite influence though is that of his home Country (Ireland) in songs like “On My Own”. Flicker has combined the best of both worlds from “This Town” and “Slow Hands”. So upon hearing the entirety of Flicker I caught those influences immediately, especially on songs like “On The Loose” and “Seeing Blind” which a beautiful duet with Country artist Maren Morris. When Niall released “Slow Hands” I could start to see the direction of where I think Flicker where could go. It was a nice enough song but I loved the video more as it drove home the song for me more. Going way back to when his first single “This Town” was released I was still unsure about the direction Niall was taking his solo work. So let’s get started …Īlso, one thing to remember is that the list is not in order despite it being numbered for ease of reading. So being a massive music fan I had to name other albums I loved as well. So it made narrowing down the list to just ten very difficult but alas I did it. This for me was a brilliant year for music. ?
