Review: Perfect Pussy – Say Yes to Love
What they were doing to that poor pussy we may never know, but she sounds so pained that that is best kept a secret.
Wait. What do you mean that the grumbling bass wasn’t to represent purring? Or the constant screeches of feedback every few seconds weren’t their attempt at making their guitars ‘meow’? She is screaming about cats, right…?

Review: Nina Persson – Animal Heart
A track may be entitled ‘The Grand Destruction Game’, yet it, nor any of its fellow tracks are particularly grand, nor destructive, and are far more relaxing than they are much fun. Persson may sing about titular animal hearts “thudding like a kick drum”, and screaming about the “bump-bump of the bass in a passing car”, but rarely implements them herself.

Review: Muse – The 2nd Law
‘Big Freeze’ borrows its name from one of the potential ultimate fates of the universe. Everything will continue to expand infinitely to such a grand, unimaginable scale, only for the energy to run out. It’s an analogy that couldn’t be more perfect for this album.

Album Review: Bloc Party – Four
Several tracks don’t bother with verses, choruses and time signatures, creating jumbles usually reserved for prog-rockers, but condensed into sub-four minute chunks. They have a lot of fury to shake off, and they clearly have no time for principles.
