Album Review: Jethro Tull - The Zealot Gene

Image
The Zealot Gene  is the 22nd full-length studio album by the British Progressive rock band, Jethro Tull,  Musically, the album is broken up with hard flute driven rockers with subtly intriguing melodies and hooks that seem to sneak up on you.   The mixing and production is impeccable. The sound quality is first-rate. The playing is great, the arrangements are very good, and Ian's vocals sound very good on these songs, which obviously don't stretch his vocal limitations. Great songs with great lyrics.  I   wasn't expecting much from this and was pleasantly surprised with this new release, While it won't remind many of vintage Tull, it's probably Ian's best work since the Aqualung  album.  For a band that has been working in one form or another for 50-plus years, this album is a late career gem. Much better than I ever thought it could be. I rate this album 8/10, Solid score.

Album Review: The Weeknd- Dawn FM

Dawn FM is the fifth studio full-length album by Canadian singer The Weeknd, it was released on January 7, 2022, Dawn Fm is the direct sequel to After Hours. For the occasion, The Weeknd supports his achievements by transcribing it in a concept as ambitious as interesting, which confirms his status of master of the Synthpop mainstream. Here we are, the famous introduction to announce the new year that we never get tired of. So I'll go straight to the point: happy new year to all, full of achievements and happiness. Finally, what could be better than to start the year with a kind of last-minute surprise,  as usual, there are some songs I absolutely love and others that are a miss for me. I  Haven’t stopped listening to this album since the day it was released, it truly is a masterpiece. Been following him for the past decade and I’m so proud of how far he’s come and evolved throughout every era. I rate this album 9/10 The Weeknd · Dawn FM
