Great Week of Albums

[JohnWayne23 5,227]

This week was a great week of album releases. 

It's been a while since I've enjoyed multiple albums released in one week and this week i had three!

 

DREAMCAR - Dreamcar

The three bandmates from No Doubt came together with the lead singer of AFI and created a masterpiece. This album is a throwback to late 00's Hollister/Abercrombie-esque music (you know, that alternative music they played there around that time) mixed with an 80's sound that sounds current. The sound deviates from the traditional No Doubt sound, but you can totally hear No Doubt influences in the instrumentals. The lead singer's voice is AMAZING. I'm totally here for this album because Gwen Stefani is supportive of it, so i'm supportive of this effort. 

Fav tracks:

Kill For Candy

Born To Lie

On The Charts

 

 

 

 

Harry Styles - Harry Styles

For a guy apart of a total commercially driven boy band (I mean one album a year?). Money over quality. But now, Harry has totally taken the reigns in his solo career and has chosen art and talent. The album sounds nothing like albums of his contemporaries, but perhaps that's the best part about it? Harry clearly let's his influences, influence this album. The 70s/80s/90s sounds of his British predecessors can be heard throughout the album. 

Fav tracks:

Sign of the Times

Only Angel

Carolina

Kiwi

 

 

 

 

Paramore - After Laughter

I'm really a fan of this slightly new direction Paramore took. It's so "summer"y and fun. Parts of the album make me feel like I'm laying on the beach with a Caribbean band playing by me.

Fav tracks:

Hard Times

Told You So

Tell Me How (a rainy day song to cry to)

I have only heard Harry styles out of the 3 but I have to say that I completely adore this album already, it's just so good and I never expected this quality out of Harry. Sign of the times was great but I was scared that it would end up being a boring album which is completely not the case 

[Pray4FameGa 3,141]

I personally finds HS a bit hit and miss but it does have some great moments.

I love ever since New York.

After Laughter is already one of my favourite albums of the year so far

[Irrelevant 20,282]

HS and AL are all half half for me (not into these types of music), but they're so much better than the other stuff in the industry rn so I support them completely

 I've heard it and I think it's a quality album, but at times it could get boring. Somehow I feel it lacks something. The little moments from songs are great but some songs could've been pushed further and have bigger and bolder choruses.

I couldn't agree more, I have those three on repeat since I downloaded them.

I love how cohesive AL's sound and visuals are, it just fit togeher very well and it sounds amazing, big change since ST but still very Paramore-esque imo

Since I heard Sign of the Times I've been so obsessed with Harry, the album was all I've expected and wanted to hear, remembers me of good old Bowie

DREAMCAR took me by surprise, I actually didn't know about the band but I heard the album and I liked it so much, I love 80s inspired music

[Anderson123 38,502]

Woah Dreamcar sounds like a great collaboration album. No Doubt and Davey Havok from AFI, that's something I did not expect. I'll give it a listen now.

[Spock 20,290]

You're forgetting the most important one

[hausoffame 388]

All 3 albums are top notch!

[XXXXX 4,775]

Harry is just amazing

I downloaded the whole album and can't stop playing it

And KP4 could be released tomorrow This year is going to be great for music
