The venerable Uk indie-rock titans second comeback album, is sadly not as interesting as their first Anthems for Doomed Youth, but despite flirting perilously close with land-fill indie, has its more vital moments and it's still good to have them back.

Director Matthew Vaughn seems to inhabit this middle ground between Guy Ritchie and Zack Snyder, for better or worse.

1. Beyoncé Is the most overrated recording artist this century, an average two bit hack put together in a laboratory and the blandest mass produced corporate product since the Big Mac

One of this years major Oscar contenders is, I'm sorry, a massive let down. Two very different parallel films, that don't work together, shoved into one.

The return of Schoolboy Q heralds back to an era of rap, that saw long form projects that were high art and not just gaming streaming charts, and his best work yet, one of the albums of the year.

The near excellent second album from the UK post-punk alumni is self aware to a fault.
