Things that are good: the mid-’90s Seattle Supersonics, the bit in Independence Day when you realise how fucking nuts Randy Quaid ended up being, and Atlanta metal Mastodon.
You can find out just how good I think they are in my feature review of their new album Emperor of Sand for Rolling Stone — in length — right here.
Hint: Go and listen/buy it right now.
Northlane are really good at making metalcore, and their fourth album Mesmer is no different. Read my review of it for Rolling Stone right here….
“The Haze is covered in an oily, sweaty sheen and underpinned by a riotous, sneering meth-punk energy…” read the rest of my review of the new Pulled Apart By Horses album, The Haze, for Rolling Stone right here.
I reviewed the new Circa Waves record over at Rolling Stone — I really dug their debut — check it out here.
TL;DR: Doesn’t quite hit the mark.
The Brooklyn Nets took Isaiah Whitehead at number 42 in the 2016 NBA draft (after a trade with Utah for the pick)… and I make the case how — despite a horrible -1.0 Win Share and brutal ESPN Real Plus-Minus of -3.71, ranking him 80th out of 89 qualifying NBA point guards — he’s made to be considered one of the NBA’s best rookie point guards. Check it out here.
