is not as feel good as some songs on his debut album: prepare to feel sad (0 more)
harrowing and beautiful in equal measures, this is one of my favourite second albums of all time. Ben Howard takes an incredibly dark direction in his second album, drawing upon some of the deeper, sadder, darker themes that had crept into his debut album but here confronts the darkness head on

A Superb Debut Album!
An excellent debut album from a very talented musician.

The songwriting on this album, done entirely by herself and her brother, is excellent, creating a dark, yet somehow relatable atmosphere throughout. Once I first heard the beat of "Bad Guy" I knew I wanted more, so I purchased this album and her 2017 EP "Don't Smile at Me".

The production on the album, also done by her brother is good, but the use of vocoding (not autotuning!) is used gratuitously throughout, especially on "Xanny", occasionally masking the singer's soft, excellent voice.

This debut novel was a weird and gruesome read that kept me its prisoner until the bitter end. I was completely enthralled with the portrayal of Lizzie Borden. The author's writing style was truly a delight and I look forward to more of her works.

A strange debut horror story for Guillermo del Toro. It has a certain charm to it, bringing a new idea to a vampire tale. Character driven rather than over the top shock and gore. Still it looks rather dated now due to the low budget.

Jordan Peele's debut film lives up to the hype that was poured upon this thriller, its deliciously wry in its execution and plays upon racism and paranoia equally as you feverishly attempt to decipher what is happening.
More tense than scary and should be seen.

It isn't often that a debut novel will get 5/5 stars from me, but when it does, I know I've found a new favorite author. My #bookreview of this book is on my blog here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2020/03/13/dialing-into-trouble/
