Ennaria - Manifesto (2026)


MANIFESTO is a loud and aggressively modern mix of hyperpop, digicore, hardstyle and alternative metal. Ennaria clearly has a strong identity, and the album’s best tracks combine distorted production, catchy hooks and heavier breakdowns with real confidence.

The problem is that almost everything is pushed to the maximum. The production is constantly compressed, the vocals are exaggerated and the songs rarely offer enough contrast or breathing room. What initially sounds exciting soon becomes repetitive and tiring, while some lyrics and stylistic choices feel more calculated than authentic.

There are a few memorable moments and plenty of energy, but the album relies too heavily on volume, attitude and digital chaos. MANIFESTO shows potential, yet it still feels immature, inconsistent and difficult to enjoy as a complete record.

Pros
Strong and immediately recognisable identity
Energetic production with several catchy hooks
Effective fusion of hyperpop and heavier sounds

Cons
Repetitive and exhausting across a full album
Forced vocal delivery and weak lyrics
More attitude than substance

Bring Me The Horizon - Count Your Blessings | Repented (2026)

Image
I appreciate what this re-recording accomplishes because it finally gives these songs the sound they always deserved. The production is bigger, the performances are sharper, and the riffs hit with far more authority than they did on the original release. The youthful aggression is still there, but it's delivered with much greater precision. Where it loses me is in the writing itself. Most of the songs are built around the same formula of fast riffs, blast beats and breakdowns, and after a while they begin to blur together. The constant intensity creates excitement in the short term, but it also leaves very little room for tension, contrast or memorable climaxes. Instead of building toward defining moments, the album often feels like one long sustained assault. I also miss a stronger emotional dimension. The anger is authentic, but it rarely evolves into something deeper or more affecting. That makes the record easy to admire for its energy and execution, yet harder to connect wit...

Oddleaf - Where Ideal and Denial Collide (2024)

Image
Oddleaf’s debut album, Where Ideal and Denial Collide , is a fresh entry in progressive rock, combining lush, symphonic elements with retro influences from bands like Camel and Renaissance. The album, produced and recorded with exceptional attention to sonic detail, explores themes of environmentalism and human disconnection from nature, creating a rich narrative across its six tracks. Musically, the album mixes haunting flute lines, Mellotron textures, and dynamic shifts between electric and acoustic instrumentation, with standout vocals from Adeline Gurtner that are both emotive and ethereal. Tracks like “Life” and “Back in Time” balance infectious, vintage-inspired melodies with introspective lyrics, giving the album a timeless yet urgent feel. This blend of pastoral and dark themes marks Where Ideal and Denial Collide as a promising and inventive contribution to the prog scene​ The PROG Mind   Prog Rock Central   Prog Rock Central .
