    Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally
    While his charisma and star power remain undimmed, too much of this record is – pun intended – style over substance.

    Tomorrow's Hits
    The Men have clearly reached the level where they can turn their hand to anything and, once again, it has worked a treat.

    Ventriloquizzing
    Ventriloquizzing is a real night time album, and should be enjoyed as such--just don't expect an abundance of melodic pop hooks and you'll return for repeat prescriptions.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Curve of the Earth
    With a natural ebb and flow, Curve Of The Earth is both a new departure for the Mystery Jets and their most consistent and rewarding album yet.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Tired of Tomorrow
    Tired Of Tomorrow presents with a clearer, crisper sound than its predecessor. To call it clean would be neatening it up too much, but for better or worse it does feel sleeker.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Love Letters
    Love Letters is great. There’s potential here, and it feels like it had the ability to be a nigh-on perfect record, but for reasons obscured--probably the brick-subtle lo-fi-ness--it feels unfinished. It’s like a final draft.

    Clinging to a Dream
    While there may be a few wrong turns on Clinging To A Dream, Simeon is still creating vibrant, challenging and exciting music.

    V
    They are sketches--nothing more, nothing less. But it all changes on the final, aptly-named, track Opulent Decline.

    Eggs
    Somehow, all this variety works well more often than not.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Pala
    It seems Pala is Friendly Fires' successful attempt to translate their positivity-injected carnival live performances into a record. In the process, it just so happens they've delivered what deserves to be the soundtrack to the summer.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Lines Redacted
    In the face of personal and public devastations, the friends have avoided inertia and constructed a garish and cathartically atonal album that unbelievably manages to avoid catastrophe.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Tao of the Dead
    A genre defining release and a welcome return to boundary surfing music.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Delicacies
    Delicacies lacks the pop craftsmanship and euphoric electro of Attack and the singular outstanding tracks of Temporary Pleasures, never attempting to introduce vocals to supplement their evident ability to create an intriguing techno dance track.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Pussy's Dead
    Twelve years may have been time to labour too much over some ideas, but there are core moments to this that show an intelligent and important band still stretching the parameters of what’s possible for a rock outfit.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Desperate Ground
    Though undeniably powerful, Desperate Ground does become a bit monotonous due to the lack of variety of mood and change in pace.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The BQE
    The BQE is a lushly extravagant score that merges quite easily into Sufjan's grand catalogue. All who lend an ear to his opus will look upon the titular thoroughfare with a kinder eye, even if that view does not have the benefit of reminiscence.

    4
    We should be happy that a superstar is still committed to delivering quality LPs in an environment that frowns upon such commercially unwarranted traditions, but we should be especially grateful that that superstar is Beyoncé.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Velocifero
    The softness of Helen Marnie's voice against the rocky, stark landscape of Velocifero gives Ladytron its edge (something that doesn't work as well with the two tracks sung by Miro Aroyo in her Bulgarian tongue), but overall, it's never really enough.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ten Days
    ten days finds him in a state of flux, running through a variety of styles, and while the results aren’t perfect it’s certainly his most interesting album yet.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Body Music
    As with many debuts, AlunaGeorge’s album has remarkable highs but is tempered by a few weaker moments.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Blue
    While Blue’s electropop soundscapes are hardly a great move forwards from their first two projects, there are genuinely majestic emotional moments to savour here.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Age of Fracture
    The movement towards synth pop is arguably a risky one, especially considering how congested that particular market is already. Yet, Cymbals show enough promise on The Age Of Fracture to suggest that they are in it for the long haul.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Distant Relatives
    They've made an album that is bold and commendable, and nothing like as preachy as it might have been.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    In the Hollows
    Baldwin is probably destined to remain a cult concern, but this is beautifully crafted chamber pop that deserves to find a wider audience.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Love is Dead
    Love Is Dead is not a terrible album and it certainly has its moments, but it’s not as engaging or interesting as its predecessors.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Black Sands
    It is a hugely impressive piece of work, and subsequent listens will reveal further layers and melodies you missed first time around. Don't delay the induction a minute longer.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Russian Wilds
    As such, those looking for an eerily familiar--and often brilliant--throwback to the sounds of 1972, please enquire within.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Wolf's Law
    It’s a confused collection of songs, but there are enough gems here to suggest that they’ll come good soon enough.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hey Ma
    Setting out their stall with the strength and affirmation of the birth song 'Bubbles,' seemingly inspired by the arrival of Booth's first son, James gather themselves with an impressively solid stature.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    New Material
    As it is, New Material is now their fourth release. It may be the most consistent of the lot, but it isn’t the strongest. That accolade, for now, goes to their previous record purely because of the variety of textures and tones. But it’s exciting to see what comes next.
