Albums released this week

Here's a selection of the best and worst albums released this week. My ears will bleed so yours don't have to.

The Prodigy - Invaders must die.
I'm so excited for the release of this album that I'm going to tell you straight away that it is going to be biased. The single named after the album "Invaders must die" is full of energy and reminds me or earlier prodigy and also pendulum. I'm hoping they decide on Benicassim festival this year as this will be on of the bands to catch over the summer. This is an awesome album which is going to be an essential party album for the Summer and also a great gateway band for those people not really into electronic music. - 4/5

Beirut - March of the Zapotech
Hero to the skinny jeans indie set and rightfully so. One of the most experimental guys out there at the moment and on the first half of this album he travels to South America and has a 19 piece band behind him and the results are brilliant. La Llorona remind me of something straight out of a black and white italian film. A word for this album is epic. - 4/5

Emmy The Great - First love
Emmy the great should be something I love. Smart and makes catchy indie yet arty enough to be cool pop songs with deep lyrics about how vulnerable she is with lots of arty metaphors. I just find this album boring and with the lyrics about unplanned pregnancy and death it seems at some points like she is trying to hard. There are good tracks on it like "Absentee" but this album doesn't do it for me.
3/5
