    Best of Times
    My Sad Captains do have an unfortunate tendency of allowing their subtle, crafted melodies to occasionally lose focus and meander.

    Planet Earth
    Overall, Planet Earth is a competent collection of songs that are certainly too good to be given away free.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    El Rey
    Gedge and Albini is a match made in heaven, and El Rey is an excellent follow-up to one of their finest works together.

    X
    X is more filler than killer.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Let There Be Morning
    Let There Be Morning may be all too familiar to some, but with its driving guitars, catchy choruses and infectious melodies, this solid effort ensures that the band is set to become a household name.

    Without Feathers
    It's not quite the tour de force they seem to be capable of.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Omni
    If the world wants to point at the band's best album it's easily Planet of Ice, but if we're in the business of recognizing a group's ethos, Omni stands as the prime example of what Minus The Bear want to achieve.

    Different Gear, Still Speeding
    Full of derision that the less talented one out of Oasis is going to be found out on his own? You won't be dissuaded.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Crush Songs
    Songs come and go, often built on little more than O’s voice and the brushed strum of an acoustic guitar, seemingly competing to see which can retreat furthest into the shadows.

    Greedy Baby
    A slight whiff of missed opportunity perhaps, but this is by no means a stinker.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Blueprint 3
    While not as groundbreaking as the first Blueprint was, this is nonetheless a strong record, its A-list guests and production tempered nicely by the inclusion of in-the-now collaborators of the order of Young Jeezy and Empire Of The Sun front man Luke Steele.

    Transfixiation
    With Transfixiation now becoming the band’s fourth album, the formula of overwhelming noise was becoming perhaps a little too familiar. There are still elements of their early guise present, but the need for change is clearly reducing the decibel levels.

    A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation
    The album, like their live set, is shot through with fun, infectious wit and a desire to create perfect pop while not taking themselves too seriously.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    In the Grace of Your Love
    The collection of 11 tracks are both majestic and effortless--qualities that give the album a feeling of natural progression, perhaps bettering what's gone before.

    Kiss Land
    Despite Kiss Land being The Weeknd’s major label debut release, what was once a breath of fresh air now sounds rather played out.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Quarters
    Quarters is such an inventive, smartly composed album that complaining about its lack of emotional clout feels like nitpicking rather than the exposure of a serious flaw.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Await Barbarians
    It may not be an album you’ll come back to again and again, but it shows off a refreshingly different side to Alexis Taylor.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Success
    There might be a song here entitled Failing At Fun Since 1981, but this album is stupidly good fun and, on top of it all, an unmitigated success.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Two Trains
    It may have taken some time to arrive but Two Trains is a strong personal statement that should find wider appreciation.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Headroom
    It’s an undeniably pleasant background to a warm summer’s day. But, like the output of many of the chillwave notables it resembles, once Headroom has finished playing, precious few details remain lodged in the brain.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Join Hands
    Ultimately, Join Hands gives a decent impression of Congratulations’ sound, even if it becomes a bit too much over the course of an album. However, there’s enough songwriting prowess demonstrated here to hint that there may be even better things in the future from Congratulations.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Hard Candy
    Overall, Hard Candy lacks subtlety and is overworked and overproduced.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Rockstar
    Rockstar is, at heart, a well meaning, fun spirited album. It just pushes the joke just too far. There’s still time for her to make a great rock record, but this isn’t it.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Wanderlust
    Sophie Ellis-Bextor has just abandoned her electropop comfort blanket for a smothering duvet of clichés and ineffectual romanticism.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Konk
    It will no doubt be the soundtrack of the summer for many people, but the lack of originality, warmth and soul may well leave some feeling rather underwhelmed.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    L.A.X.
    Perhaps one of the telling strengths of LAX is that despite all star guest appearances from the likes of Ludacris, Travis Barker, Nas and the aforementioned Ice Cube it is very much The Game's album.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    From the Hills Below the City
    Yet despite its flaws, this is still an impressively confident debut from a band that sound far older than their years.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Native
    While Tedder can on occasion craft lyrics that strike the perfect balance between simplicity and grandiosity, he flounders a bit too often on Native.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Avril Lavigne
    As a collection of songs, this eponymous effort goes a long way to restore the singer to her rightful place as purveyor of some of the most carefree, feelgood pop around.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Shake the Shudder
    You’ll gather from this that Shake The Shudder is very much business as usual from !!!, though there is extra spice to their modern disco this time around, an all-inclusive party that gives the middle finger to those who dare to stand in its way. It is a wholly affirmative illustration of music’s unifying power.
