    Model
    While ‘Model’ might just be the fourth installment for them, it’s clear that growing up together has allowed the members to fully play in on each other’s best qualities, resulting in a no-skips record.

    Apar
    While Delorean captured the spirit of summer with 2010’s Subiza, now they’re aiming to nail the soundtrack to the end of it.

    Estara
    This album was crafted amid relative calm, and this peacefulness is present in every track.

    iii
    It remains a fun and enjoyable pop record, even if its creators do seem more reluctant than ever to venture from their well established comfort zones.

    Five Easy Hot Dogs
    ‘Five Easy Hot Dogs’ isn’t going to win DeMarco any more fans, nor will it distract from his past triumphs. ... This instrumental offering will, like most of his tunes, act as great company for those who just wanna lay back and disconnect from it all.

    Vapor City Archives
    Not quite as developed or controlled as its parent album, ‘Vapor City Archives’ underlines the sheer creative nous running through Machinedrum right now.

    Comedown Machine
    They’ve returned with their most thought provoking, strange and sexiest record yet.

    on to better things
    There are moments where Dior shows his undoubted potential and those moments save this album from being completely mediocre, unfortunately, those moments don’t come anywhere near often enough.

    Love at the Bottom of the Sea
    The lyrics are as sharp and malevolent as they've been in ages.

    Father of All…
    Green Day have delivered possibly their most immediate album this century and an album that, despite its short length, grows more rewarding with repeat listens.

    Otherness
    It’s immediately likeable, but loses distinctiveness later on.

    V for Vaselines
    Interspersed among the cheerful speed anthems are pretty, delicate moments that highlight the enduring songwriting bond that prevails between Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee.

    Truth Is a Beautiful Thing
    This is a beautiful album that’s as absorbing as it is emotionally affecting.

    Gloria
    It’s anthemic, eclectic and is a powerhouse of a record that feels like they are having more fun and giving a more ‘zero fucks’ attitude than ever before and we are here for it!
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Free Your Mind
    Perhaps less instantly gratifying than the shimmering ‘Zonoscope’, Free Your Mind is nevertheless a great time that provides additional rewards for those willing to disentangle its layered arrangements.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Innocence Reaches
    While Innocence Reaches won’t go down as their best, it’s refreshing to see that Kevin Barnes and Co. are continuing to reinvent themselves with some of their most anthemic, accessible, and socially pertinent singles to date.

    May You Marry Rich
    Where previous Colourmusic albums were spiky, unpredictable things, this set often feels content just to wallow in an amorphous sonic soup.

    Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky
    Bursting with promise, OK are more than their name suggests.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    G I R L
    Pharrell isn’t raising the game on G I R L--it’s a thoughtful, imaginative unit-shifter with some sincere themes running through it. But “different”? Not quite.
    • 67 Metascore

    Starboy
    It may showcase a cleaner sound, both in lyrical content and production, but its value for money at eighteen tracks comes at the cost of coherence.

    High Life
    While not entirely successful, this set’s spontaneity is its greatest strength.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Close to Home
    An album that is often slight, and occasionally cartoonish. There’s a lingering feeling that not only can UK rap do a lot better, but so can Aitch.

    Vertigo
    This is a pop album with built-in replay value, a work of real depth.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Fall-Off
    ‘The Fall-Off’ feels like his masterpiece, a classic right off the bat.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    EVE
    Whilst previous albums were energetic and exuberant in scope, Eve largely lacks the duo’s trademark vigour and moments of originality.

    It's Alive
    Throwaway fun, for sure, but throwaway all the same.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Real Life
    Lyrically fascinating, charmingly vulnerable and compulsively danceable--this is how to do a debut.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Limitless
    The misstep is in the execution, resulting in sound that bears little resemblance to their previous efforts. At best, Limitless is an overly ambitious re-invention. At worst, it’s a terribly misjudged collection.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    No Mind No Money
    No Mind No Money is one of those records which has the potential to evoke mass sing-a-long’s but is versatile enough to still be enjoyed in less boisterous settings--all whilst radiating a captivating warmth and comfort which ultimately will keep you coming back for more.

    No Sign Of Weakness
    A jungle of genres, which includes an impressive throng of featured artists, from the moody and sultry ‘Ta Ta Ta’ which sees the somewhat controversial Travis Scott dip into focus, and infectious country bop ‘Change Your Mind’ which ushers in the likes of Shaboozey, to Rolling Stones rock icon Mick Jagger.
