REVIEW: Röyksopp – Senior

The album ‘Senior’ is Norwegian duo Röyksopp’s sequel to last year’s ‘Junior’ release. Anyone at least a bit familiar with their work will love this compilation of down-beat and warm electronica.

NEWS: Hundreds at Queen’s protest against Browne review
Tuesday, October 19th, 2010
Hundreds of Queen’s students today protested against the recent Browne review at Mandela Hall and outside the university. Student representatives from NUS-USI and the Students’ Union initiated the Union General Meeting at noon and asked students to back their motion to reject Lord Browne’s proposals. NUS-USI President Ciarnan Helferty called not only on students but on families as well to outright reject any proposal to increase tuition charges at Northern Ireland universities.

REVIEW: Weezer – Hurley
Sunday, October 17th, 2010
You may know Weezer from one of their breakout hits; ‘Beverly Hills’, ‘Buddy Holly’ or even ‘Pork and Beans’ which pokes fun at internet culture. Apart from these few singles, the band has only really made it big in the States. Can their latest album ‘Hurley’ do any better over here?

REVIEW: The Other Guys
Sunday, October 17th, 2010
Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg star as two less than respected New York Police detectives who couldn’t be any more mismatched, but decide to team up to clean up the streets – with some hilarious results. However, although it sounds like the writers have came up with comedy gold unfortunately this is not the case. In a recent review of the film, the London magazine Time Out praised ‘The Other Guys’ as being a contender for comedy of the year. If this is the case, don’t expect the next four months to deliver another ‘Hangover’ or ‘Knocked Up,’ as Adam McKay, director of cult comedy classic ‘Anchorman,’ brings us an ultimately disappointing film with gags more silly than funny and a limited amount of original dialogue.

REVIEW: Serj Tankian – Imperfect Harmonies
Sunday, October 17th, 2010
For one of modern metal’s leading lights, the decision to depart from his comfort zone and dive into the world of electrical and orchestral accompaniments would represent a bold step in the development in their music. However, for Serj Tankian, the paradox in the album’s title Imperfect Harmonies is not just a clever figure of speech, but representative of the two very different strands of music which run throughout the album, but never truly gel together to surpass, or indeed match any of Tankian’s earlier works.
