Chiddy Bang – The Preview

Artist: Chiddy Bang

Album: The Preview

Label: Capitol/EMI

Release Date: 1 October 2010

Rating: 6/10

I do really enjoy Chiddy Bang’s The Preview and I think it deserves all the commercial success it should. However, it doesn’t quite do it for me. Bizarrely I enjoy it for the reasons I didn’t think I would, and I dislike it for the reasons I should like it! I like the album because of the simple idea of sampling really popular tracks and just adding some rap vocals, it’s so simple and doing an entire album like it is pure gold. However, their attempt at originality by adding the vocals over the tracks seems to take away from something that’s already so good! Full review and video after the jump…

Royksopp – Senior

Artist: Royksopp

Album: Senior

Release Date: 10 September 2010

Label: Virgin/EMI

Rating: 7/10

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I was contemplating on listening to Senior. I knew it wasn’t going to be anything like Junior,  I’d been informed it was a much darker album that was less ‘pop-friendly.’ That’s exactly what I found, an album that is an amazing journey through different sounds, but at the same time pretty difficult to access. The album is instrumental only and most of the tracks lack an identifiable beat, often drifting into peaceful ambient music. I did really enjoy, and do recommend taking the journey. Full interview is after the jump…
