Another year, another batch of incredible albums that desperately need ranking.

Album Year List (2023)
Swans – The Beggar
Remember when MJ told us that “this is it“? We all know that didn’t age well. Now the other Michael tells us the same thing on The Beggar. This is it for Michael Gira! Well, if it is, let’s hope this will age better. Continue reading
[Live Review] Uriah Heep, TivoliVredenburg Utrecht
Fifty-two years of Uriah Heep being very ‘eavy and very ‘umble means it’s time for a (magician’s) birthday party in TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht. We were there. Continue reading

[Live Review] Steve Hackett, TivoliVredenburg Utrecht
It’s weird to be back in a concert hall after more than two years of social distancing and lockdowns, that’s for sure, but we persevered thanks to mr. Steve Hackett and his band. Continue reading
Album Year List (2021)
Hey all! Did you hear about this pandemic going on? It’s another year of social distancing and lockdowns we’re about to end in the hope that 2022 will finally be better and bring some light at the end of that two-year tunnel. In the meantime, we’ve been doing what we do best and that’s sitting inside and listening to music. Old music, new music, you name it and we’ve listened to it. We also wrote some words about a couple of new records and, as we do every year, have compiled two lists of albums we think you should check out, which you can find below. Enjoy.
Album Year List (2020)
2020, in a lot of ways, was a massive clusterfuck of a year. As it gradually progressed, we were more and more trapped inside. Concerts and festivals were understandably cancelled or indefinitely postponed and with only one proper concert under our collective belts, we here at Sounds from the Dark Side have seen better, more productive and overall happier times. The upside, as always, is the same: at least we still have music. And because staying at home provides with a lot more time to actually sit down and listen to albums, we’ve extended this year’s album lists with an extra ten entries each, giving you even more stuff to check out. Here we go.
Album Year List (2019)
As 2019 comes to a close, so does the decade, and that means everybody’s not only looking back at the past year but the past ten. Contrarian as we are, we’re not going to do that here and just concentrate on what 2019 brought us in music. Also because ten years seems like a lot of work. So here we go, here’s what we enjoyed most this year.
