    Wham! Bang! Pow! Let's Rock Out!
    The last three Art Brut albums gradually moved away from the energy and enthusiasm of Bang Bang Rock & Roll, but with Wham! Bang! Pow! Let’s Rock Out they sound like a band having more fun than ever before. All three of those exclamation marks are entirely justified.

    Supervision
    Supervision is at times frustrating – an avoidable misstep here, an overindulgence there. But it also contains some of La Roux’s best music to date, music that’s witty, danceable and endearing all in one.

    Opposites
    The double album is a difficult thing to pull off, but considering the anticipation before the release of Biffy Clyro’s sixth LP, the trio have done a fine job.

    Goodnight Unknown
    This is simply a collection of well-crafted songs, honestly and simply arranged and delivered, and as such very much worth a listen.

    Weathervanes
    As a whole, Weathervanes is a largely successful and ambitious trip into uncharted territory for the band, and despite its somewhat saccharine sheen, the album wears well with multiple listens and creates a spooky, dreamlike economy of its own.

    Lenses
    Ultimately, Lenses is a masterly album and Soft Metals’ brand of inventive, ghostly electro is a welcome break from the flood of brainless EDM that’s cluttering up airwaves and dancefloors everywhere at the moment.

    MAYA
    It's less digestible but it's tauter, more metallic and yes, industrial.

    19
    It may not be particuarly original or challenging, but there's enough positive signs here to bode extremely well for the future. The sound of 2008? And beyond, we'd imagine.

    Confection
    Due to the short duration of many of these tracks, it all feels a bit lightweight and insubstantial.

    Songs for the Ravens
    In the end the record greatly exceeds its perceived strengths, building and out-doing itself over its 40 minutes.

    America Give Up
    Howler, when at their best, produce simple, but infectious, dirty rock music that oozes confidence and a nonchalant swagger.

    West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum
    It's the sound of past and future uniting to good effect--and Kasabian's strongest statement yet that they're in this for the long haul.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Head First
    There are a couple of occasions when Goldfrapp's new relaxed attitude shades into lazy songwriting: Dreaming and Hunt are bland. But overall Head First is skilful pop designed for adults.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Wavvves
    The next obstacle for Wavves will be deciding whether to ditch the bedroom and work in an actual studio, but for now these lo-fi pop gems are more than enough to be getting on with.

    Songs And Other Things
    The dynamic has more in common with Verlaine's best (known) work, even if the drama isn't as fully realised.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Mythomania
    Mythomania is overdriven, with sparks flying from the bolts in its neck and fruit machine cherries lining up in its vacant eye sockets. But it sounds perfect somehow.

    Sort Of Revolution
    It's the finest of Fink's songwriting albums to date, building on the promise shown in Biscuits For Breakfast with a confident assurance of his talent and in what he has to say.

    Ellipse
    If you're a fan of her previous work, or even just like some good old-fashioned, earnestly well-crafted songs, then this is an honourable addition to the genre.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ivory Tower
    The feeling remains, however, that Ivory Tower the album will be at its most effective when the visuals come in to play. Many of its instrumentals lack an essential element of either melody or art, so it's safe to assume they will come to life better on screen.

    Palace
    With much to commend them and their sound, Chapel Club may not have the newest or freshest set of ideas on the block, but the inner confidence coursing through their veins suggests they are open to invention and greater emotion on future records.

    Welcome Reality
    Welcome Reality gets it half right--this is a decent debut which more than lives up to the hype, but is so mind-blowingly out-there that any suggestion that it resembles 'reality' ought to launch a Trading Standards investigation.

    Covered
    Covered had the makings of something great, but ends up sounding far more uneven than it should have.
    • 68 Metascore

    No Compass Will Find Home
    No Compass Will Find Home is yet another curious listen from Merz.
    • 68 Metascore

    Naomi
    Not without fault, the album is a solid, cohesive work--and sign of The Cave Singers’ electrifying potential.
    • 68 Metascore

    Cut Your Teeth
    Fans of her debut may be a bit bemused, but this is a new direction that could lead to great things.

    Language
    By the end of the heartfelt Touched By You MNEK has truly made his mark with this ambitious masterwork of an album. After years in the background, he’s proved that he’s the full package.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Sorry I'm Late
    If not all of this debut lands too firmly at times, there’s still enough evidence on Sorry I’m Late that people will soon remember Mae Muller for more than that Eurovision disappointment.

    Four
    It turns out to be the best thing they've ever done--yes, even better than Silent Alarm.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Not Too Late
    This collection of quaint, feel-good numbers is not going to set the world alight, but it offers something warm and comforting to come home to.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    New Chain
    New Chain is unmistakably chillwave, undeniably fashionable within the American music scene right now, but doesn't half make you yearn for a bit of sunshine.
