    AM
    All of these stylistic inspirations make AM an invigorating experience.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Sequel to the Prequel
    some of Doherty’s lyrics are very... peculiar.... But even the weird lyrics merely add charm to this impressive return.

    Later...When the TV Turns To Static
    Despite some angsty missteps, the reverb-soaked ‘Neon Bedroom’ confirms that the band’s talent for transforming the ordinary into the epic remains.

    John Wizards
    There’s a lot to like about this summer soundtrack packed to the left of your luggage.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The 1975
    It’s a great pop record with plenty of depth (a rare thing) that will prove divisive.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Trap Lord
    Trap Lord is an impressive outing for Ferg and another win for A$AP Mob.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Third Eye Centre
    Even at its worst this hotchpotch collection is pleasant fare.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Push/Pull
    Beautifully crafted, eccentric and disturbing, but essential pop all the same.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Aerotropolis
    The end result is immensely listenable, and so goddamn fun.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Invasion of Love
    This is a debut with lots to love, abundant in experimentation and overall pop accessibility--and not many comparable collections can claim those qualities.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Engravings
    This is mood-manifesting music of exceptional quality, experimental electronic fare of substance and, crucially, heart.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Prince Avalanche [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
    It feels unanchored and tremulous, without EITS’s signature drums--but it’s still beautiful.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Blue Gardens
    It’s a potentially fulsome harvest E.M.M.A. has planted.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Doris
    Earl Sweatshirt is telling truths rather than forging fantasy, and Doris is a disturbed and penetrating journey into the mind of the boy that came back from Samoa.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    & Also With You
    What might be the most understated and confident album of the summer.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    6 Feet Beneath the Moon
    British music fans should gaze upon King Krule with great pride. Under immense expectation, he has managed to become the product of his far-flung influences, rather than a pastiche of any.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Drop
    It all adds up to a set of hallucinogenic songs that sound like they were spat out of another dimension. A truly special record from a band you need to keep your eye on.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Versions
    Refined, and dangerously decadent.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Flourish // Perish
    A rewarding evolution for the band.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Drenge
    The thrashing energy does relent somewhat towards the end, yet this remains an impressive introductory manifesto.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Absolute Zero
    There are moments of schmaltz, but these Little Green Cars exude a lorry-load of charm.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Where You Stand
    New fans will not be won, but the initiated will be delighted.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Shadow of Heaven
    Expect to be challenged, provoked, and amazed by this near-heavenly debut.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Loud City Song
    Although it takes more than a couple of listens for Loud City Song to feel like a cohesive album, the reward once you do is well worth the outlay.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action
    it’s evident enough that Franz Ferdinand are masters at crafting stylish, guitar-driven anthems. Right Thoughts affirms this expertise, and is a very danceable fourth LP.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An Object
    A gradual evolution, then, and all the better for it.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dark Eyes
    Dark Eyes suggests they have the potential to be massive, if they can just work that out.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Crimes of Passion
    San Diego’s Crocodiles have absolutely nailed album number four.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Nepenthe
    A special album from a special artist, Nepenthe is, indeed, an album that leaves thoughts of others absent as it plays out its otherworldly dance.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Big TV
    Despite said retro parallel, White Lies do sound like a band firmly in the present, utilising electronic samples with classic valve-driven guitar chords to accompany the trademark baritone of McVeigh.
