    Room(s)
    A dizzying tapestry of rave, Chicago footwork, jungle, hip-hop and soulful pop. [Aug. 2011, p. 104]

    Galactic Melt
    The soundtrack to an imaginary sci-fi flick about a robot astronaut... Smart, rather moving, proggy, psych-electronica. [Aug. 2011, p. 104]

    Dedication
    The pervading mood of Dedication is oppressive and borderline paranoid, but it makes for wonderfully innovative, state-of-the-art urban electronica. [Aug. 2011, p. 104]

    Blanck Mass
    Blissed-out analogue synths, the swell and drone of ambient rock and epic, beatless, drawn-out melodies characterize the debut. [Aug. 2011, p. 104]

    We Must Become the Pitiless Censors of Ourselves
    If the original Assault on Precinct 13 soundtrack had been made by a time-shifted Let's Dance Bowie, you'd be most-way there. [Aug. 2011, p. 104]

    Big Talk
    Drum-heavy powerpop is more comfortable in bleached denim and white trainers, about three decades too late for assured heavy rotation on MTV.

    Ninth
    His most conventional and, frankly, dull [album] pursuing a plodding take on alt rock, in the uninteresting middle ground between early U2 and Stiltskin, with occasional dashes of doom-lite. [Aug. 2011, p. 101]

    I Want That You Are Always Happy
    A collection of songs which rings with the same deeply felt, universal truths of Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago and Ryan Adam's Heartbreaker. Chillingly authentic. [Aug. 2011, p. 100]

    Player Piano
    It's out with the neon-fugged, reverb-soaked beats of 2009's Seek Magic and in with straight-up, catchy tunes. [Aug. 2011, p. 100]

    Rave On Buddy Holly
    Perhaps not as many musical genres are represented as might have been but it's still a good reminder of just how many styles Holly's music crossed and influenced, if not invented. [Aug. 2011, p. 99]

    Panic of Girls
    The best tracks on Panic of Girls have some edge and bite... though the all-points-of-the-compass eclecticism makes [it] sound somewhat disjointed and schizophrenic. [Aug. 2011, pg. 99]

    Kmag Yoyo (& Other American Stories)
    Another damn good album from the Texan, as convincing on songs of country heartache as on roadhouse swagger. [Aug. 2011, p. 97]

    Good News
    At times on this impressive debut Dan Willson's alter ego attains the celestial lustre of that holy grail of lapsed evangelical folk nouveau, the first Palace Brothers album. [March 2010]

    Tago Mago [40th Anniversary Edition]
    Collective, improvisational, Krautrock gigantism for inner space odysseys.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Castlemania
    Sixteen short, sharp blasts of garage pop, Castlemania addles Dwyer's catchy, wryly dippy ditties with mind-melding mellotron blasts and acid-fried clarinet and flute additions. [Aug. 2011, p. 96]

    Torches
    Scratch beneath the glossy surface of Torches and beneath the gurgles, stutters and hands-aloft choruses lies an album with a disappointing lack of substance. [Aug. 2011, p. 94]

    Drums Between the Bells
    In louder and busier sections it's easy to lose the text and there's no melody as consolation. [Aug. 2011, p. 94]
