    Denies The Day's Demise
    The disc is a dense, cerebral, sweated-over work of art.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Wolfmother
    Their strength lies in the fact that the threesome are capable rockers with conviction, and just enough irony to make it work.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    Shut Up I Am Dreaming
    Shut Up’s biggest downfall is it’s speed, or lack thereof. The songs lilt and twirl with Krug’s yelp, xylophones and processed guitars, but rarely does the pace exceed ballad-like levels.

    Drowaton
    Drowaton is as close to an orchestral pop masterpiece as you’re going to get.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    We The Vehicles
    While some tracks are absolutely reminiscent of these lads’ former bands... Maritime comes off most like Tahiti 80 or the Postal Service, crafting lofty, affable pop concerned with pristine beauty.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Under The Covers Vol. 1
    This is an album worthy of unpretentious adoration.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Curses
    Cash grab? Perhaps. Phoning it in? Maybe. Or maybe it’s their attempt to open up to a new crowd - but whatever it is it’s better left as an experiment.

    You In Reverse
    You In Reverse is equal parts subtlety and over self-indulgence, and its problems lie with the latter. More often than not, the stretched out jams seems to take up space rather than move the songs forward.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Garden Ruin
    Garden Ruin is good, but there are a bazillion alt-country Coors rockers who could pull this off, and coming from an outfit with such a remarkable past body of work it is a disappointment.

    You Are There
    Like an undergrad philosophy student, Mono would be much more likeable if they didn’t try to sound so deep all the time.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Some Echoes
    While it starts a bit slowly, Aloha’s fourth proper album is filled with signature pieces that are stunningly relentless.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Adventures In The Underground Journey To The Stars
    Even with a couple of clunkers, “Adventures in the Underground Journey to The Stars is without question South’s best effort to date simply because it has done more to command the listener’s attention.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Catastrophe Keeps Us Together
    Catastrophe Keeps Us Together is the most Rainer Maria has sounded like themselves since the Atlantic EP and is more daring than we could have hoped.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Loon
    The first must-listen record of the year.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ideal Lives
    Once through, we realize Ideal Lives does not feel unified, which is exactly what makes it so interesting but also so difficult to fully embrace.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Fishscale
    This will most likely be the best hip-hop album of the year as well as a contender for best overall album of the year.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Bring It Back
    This is rousing pop distilled down to its molecular structure, executed with confidence.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dying To Say This To You
    If you continually dig out your Go-Gos and 80s-era Blondie records to bask in the lip gloss-smacking sound, Dying To Say This To You is the modern recoat for you.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    When The Going Gets Dark
    When the Going Gets Dark taps into a new kind of power for Quasi, giving them the opportunity and ambition to skronk and smash.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Everything All The Time
    Everything All The Time runs not only on imagination but on determination – the mix of the two is what makes it exceptional.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Stars Of CCTV
    Archer and friends deserve praise for making an album so rooted in its locale so appealing to a wider audience due to the never-ending amount of catchy hooks and melodies on display on Stars Of CCTV.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Love Travels At Illegal Speeds
    Coxon clearly shows a mastery that comes from experience, and when he hits his groove it’s infectious.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Supernature
    As accomplished as Black Cherry was, Supernature completes the suspected evolution from the quasi-avant-garde stylings of old to intelligent, sophisticated pop music.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fab Four Suture
    Fab Four Suture is a solid, satisfying listen front to back.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Under A Billion Suns
    Its precision in sound and spirit can’t be denied; Under A Billion Suns is a triumphant, wild mess.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mr. Beast
    Mr. Beast is by far Mogwai’s most accessible album to date, teetering between epic hard rock and a melodic, driven vocal delivery.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Ballad Of The Broken Seas
    This is proof that Campbell made the right decision in leaving Belle And Sebastian.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Etiquette
    Like each of Owen Ashworth’s wondrous works before it, Etiquette is intimate, often sorrowful, bedroom glitch-pop, but here it is more substantial.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Exchange Session Vol. 1
    Like all free jazz albums, The Exchange Session, Vol. 1 should be approached with caution. It’s a great night-driving companion and opens up to the patient listener willing to give it more than one chance.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 78 Critic Score
    In A Space Outta Sound
    In my experience, there have been few albums such as In A Space Outta Sound that I have heard within the realm of electronica, where a musical palette was spread so broadly while still managing to sound like part of the same project.
