Read Poets Society

   To continue with the lists of December, here's something a little different to what is normally on this blog. For those who don't know I'm also a massive movie nerd, so please let me know if you like what you're reading here and if you'd like to see more of this on this blog. 10) A Cure For Wellness (Dir. Gore Verbinski, MA15+)    A wonderfully weird return to horror from Gore Verbinski that certainly has its flaws, but if you're willing to suspend your disbelief A Cure For Wellness will surprise, disturb and thrill. Jason Isaacs goes full villain in the way only Jason Isaacs does, and Dane DeHaan (who hasn't blown me away in the past) really surprised me with his solid performance of a morally reprehensible but deeply scarred investment banker. Not only that, but it's absolutely gorgeous to look at, making the scenes of horror stick with you even longer. 9) Manchester By The Sea (Dir. Kenneth Lonergan, MA15+)    Huge fan of both Casey Affle

   Can someone please tell me where the hell December went? Like, seriously, what happened? But here we are, and so to wrap up the year I've put together a few more lists for you to enjoy, tear apart, disagree with or have your vulnerable opinions validated by, including my 15 least favourite albums of the year. If any of your favourites happen to appear on this list and you are sadly offended or annoyed, please remember that you are still a unique snowflake and your opinion matters more than mine. Seriously, if you really like any of these records, I care as little as you should because that's the great thing about music - it's subjective! And, you know, it is still possible to survive with others having differing opinions. Just clench your teeth and get through it, you'll be alright. 15) Ed Sheeran -  ÷     If you cast your mind back to when I reviewed the newest Ed Sheeran album, you'll remember that while I didn't particularly care for it there were a n

   2017 has been a year that his delivered in spades, and with that comes a number of albums that were incredibly disappointing - and for a number of reasons. Whatever those reasons were, each of these albums fell spectacularly short of my expectations, and I'm here to drop them into the limelight for you. Being As An Ocean - Waiting For Morning To Come    I've waited and waited for this album to click with me, for me to finally  get  what is going on with this fourth album from Being As An Ocean, and unfortunately I'm still just as baffled and disappointed now as I was when it finally dropped after a couple of months in the ether. If you do understand what I was meant to get out of this record please comment below because I'd love to figure it out. The band that I fell in love with on  Dear G-d...  is almost entirely eradicated on  Waiting For Morning To Come , replaced with pretentious piano interludes and songs played in reverse. There are a handful of great son

These are all killer tracks, if you haven't hear any of them definitely give them a shot! 30) "Who Dat Boy" by Tyler, The Creator (from Flower Boy ) 29) "Price of Living" by Ecca Vandal (from Ecca Vandal ) 28) "Out Of Mana" by Brand New (from Science Fiction ) 27) "It Will Always Be My Fault" by Justice For The Damned (from Dragged Through The Dirt ) 26) "Between White Space" by Perspectives (from Stay For Those Who Care ) 25) "Colourwave" by Northlane (from Mesmer ) 24) "I Should See Memphis" by Fleet Foxes (from Crack-Up ) 23) "Doomsday" by Architects (single) 22) "Caution" by Tiny Moving Parts (single) 21) "Hard Times" by Paramore (from After Laughter ) 20) "HUMBLE." by Kendrick Lamar (from DAMN. ) 19) "Off the Cuff" by The Ongoing Concept (from Places ) 18) "Forever" by Code Orange (from Forever ) 17) "In Bloom"
