Is The Wheel of Time Sexist? – Review
And we're back in Randland! And this time Elliot is talking about a topic that stalks the series in every forum and comment section... Is The Wheel of Time sexist? Looking into both sides of the argument, Elliot discusses the ways in which the TV show should address the...
Adapting The Wheel of Time for TV – Review
If you thought Elliot’s first journey through Randland was too brief, brace yourself for a far more detailed (spoiler filled) trip to the world of The Wheel of Time. Our resident film student talks us through the process of bringing a book to life on screen, and how to...
KSI’s Dissimulation brings YouTube trap to the mainstream
Being a YouTuber before turning to music used to be a career choice that was ripe for ridicule. Thanks to new wave industry acts such as KSI, Joji, and Quadeca, the rules are finally changing. It wasn’t all that long ago when Olajide Olatunji, better known as KSI, was making...
Little Simz ‘Drop 6’ – Review
One of London’s best artists is back with a quick EP to keep us going during lockdown, and it’s another solid entry in an already strong discography. Little Simz is up there with the best of them when it comes to UK rap and grime. Her last album ‘GREY Area’...
Machine Gun Kelly drops ‘Bloody Valentine’ – Review
This new single is a departure from his typical hip hop aesthetic, one that brings guttural pop punk production reminiscent of early noughties Blink 182 albums. You’d be forgiven for only knowing who Machine Gun Kelly is due to that Eminem diss track ‘Rap Devil’ he dropped in 2018. He’s...
The Weeknd ‘After Hours’ – Review
The Weeknd brings his usual dark, moody R&B style to his newest record, and it’s more consistent than nearly all of his previous efforts. You could easily argue that The Weeknd is perhaps the biggest pop star of the last ten years. He’s kept up a consistently stellar track record when it comes to big, chart-topping albums and singles, and has remained the soundtrack to many a social media trend...
‘Control’ | Gaming – Review
After both sinking some serious hours into the game, Jamie and Charlie are here to break down all facets of Remedy Entertainment’s highly touted title Control. The distinct lack of fan fair and marketing may have let this one slide under your radar at launch, but this nerdy pair (who maxed the game fyi) will hopefully give you all the answers you’re looking for. Spoiler: It’s weird as hell. Be...
Green Day ‘Father Of All…’ – Review
The punk band’s fifteenth record is a hollow, dated affair that says a whole bunch of nothing in its brief run time. You have to feel sorry for Green Day. It’s been sixteen years since they dropped American Idiot, a politically charged rock opera that transformed them from a chill out trio to the voice of a jaded and disenfranchised youth confused at their own government. Since that album it’s clear that...
Mac Miller ‘Circles’ – Review
The would-be 28-year-old rapper’s posthumous release is a tentative, delicate ensemble of rich storytelling, that’s as much about inner peace as it is turmoil. Mac Miller’s story is one I think about often. It ends in tragedy and an untimely passing, obviously, but it’s also a shining example of how resilient evolution and talent can reinvent an artist. Within a few short years, a young, white, frat-rap teenager, who seemed unlikely...
