Editor’s Recommendation:
The xx have recently released their third studio album “I See You” and, as expected, it’s fantastic. For those unfamiliar with The xx, they’re an indie pop band that has previously focused on mellow music and a vocal duo.
The third album is a mix of their atmospheric style and some more upbeat music. “I See You” has been great to shuffle through and listen to on every occasion, the music feels made to fit into almost any daily situation.
The first single, “On Hold,” released a few months ago and featured a much different upbeat style while reliant on the vocals of the band’s previous albums.
I recommend checking it out. “I See You” is an enjoyable and inviting album.
Editor’s Disparagement:
I’ve had every Playstation system since the original, so when a classic game gets re-released, the nostalgia is exciting. Lately though, companies have been
cashing in on the nostalgia and giving consumers less than quality products.
“Marvel Ultimate Alliance” and the sequel were rebooted on Playstation 4. This was exciting until I saw that the game cost $50 and the quality wasn’t improved in any way.
This is just one example of the constant overpricing and letdowns of rebooted games, a growing trend in video games that I’m fed up with.
