    Review: Troye Sivan, ‘TRXYE’

    There is little to nitpick about on ‘TRXYE’. Teen artist Troye Sivan has delivered an EP that truly separates his artistic lane from others.

    Tank, Stronger | Album Review

    Throughout the course of his sixth album ‘Stronger,’ Tank (Durrell Babbs) showcases his strengths and flaws alike. ‘Stronger’ has its moments nonetheless.

    Godsmack Delivers Solid, If Unexceptional Effort On ‘1000hp’

    Veteran metal band Godsmack delivers a solid, if unexceptional effort with its latest album, ‘1000hp’. Good, ‘1000hp’ doesn’t qualify as great.
