Well written songs, musically good with smooth vocals. (1 more)
Influence parallels can be heard, U2, Coldplay and maybe a bit of Muse? All makes for good tunes though.
One Republic's debut album.
  
Tales From The Backseat  by The Academic
Tales From The Backseat by The Academic
2018 | Alternative, Indie, Rock
A solid debut packed with indie rock thrills...
The debut album from Irish four-piece The Academic is brimming with energy and potential. The band, singer Craig Fitzgerald, drummer Dean Gavin, and brothers Matt and Stephen Murtagh, guitar and bass respectively, have been building up a following across the Irish Sea since forming as teenagers in 2013.

"This debut from Kiley Reid is outstanding in its wisdom, clarity, and nuance. I loved it the second I started it, and I can’t stop telling people about it since. It’s that good."

Oct 15, 2017
Two finalists for the National Book Awards appear on this week’s New York Times list: Frank Bidart’s collected poems, “Half-Light,” and Carmen Maria Machado’s debut collection of stories, “Her Body and Other Parties.”

We’re nearing the season for ghost stories — or in some cases un-ghost stories and cautionary tales about what happens when we try too hard to put our history behind us.

"This one is a gem—smart, funny, and just what a debut collection should be. Also, of every story I know of that’s narrated by a dog (really), “My Humans,” is the joyous best."

Mike Portnoy recommended Eraserhead (1977) in Movies (curated)

 
Eraserhead (1977)
Eraserhead (1977)
1977 | Drama, Horror

"""Two great milestones for Lynch: his debut masterpiece and his most recent masterpiece. Eraserhead is the truest representation of a dream (or nightmare) I’ve ever seen put to film. Lynch’s debut was one of the ultimate midnight cult films of its time, and the Criterion package also includes all of his early short films. Mulholland Dr. is Lynch at his best, combining Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks into a hypnotic mystery that only gets better (and makes sense) with multiple viewings."""
