I love a lot of this, to be honest. It sounds like Linkin Park, with a new singer, and I'll always have a soft spot for them. She's really great. The live performance of Emptiness Machine, when Emily was introduced, will define this album for me. The lesser tracks aren't so important.

I think maybe one of those albums that I appreciate more than enjoy. Don't love his slightly spoken style. But some of the instrumentation is stunning.

A fun listen. Heartfelt hardcore, of some sort.

Still an unbelievably alluring sound though, but slightly disappointing I think given their high standard. Saw them live following its release, and the louder moments hit a lot harder, but it hasn't massively increased my enjoyment of it.

Enjoyable pop rock, but I'm not sure properly memorable for me.

I don't love it, but Starburster has got under my skin and I think it's maybe more enjoyable than previous albums of theirs.

I enjoyed this a lot more after a Switched on Pop episode with him. Not my thing, but enjoyed sticking it on. Seems like a cool authentic guy.

Unfortunately one of those bands that I think will possibly never connect as well as they did the first time. The debut remains a clear favourite. Maybe a matter of timing.

Lo-fi scrappy indie, probably not returning to it (?) but fun.

Enjoyable if slightly repetitive. Sometimes a bit jarring but not in a bad way. Opener with Sharon Van Etten is great.

Really fun instrumental high-paced indie rock from metal guitarists. Good fun. Almost sounds like it belongs in a video game.
