    The Expanding Flower Planet
    Certainly, though, Deradoorian has demonstrated here that she is a confident, mature and distinctive artist.
    • 76 Metascore

    The Demise Of Planet X
    The Demise Of Planet X feels like the most refined statement Sleaford Mods have made so far. Its production is tighter, its ideas clearer, and its impact sharper – it’s an album that gleams technically while documenting a world that very clearly does not.

    Void
    Scalping have produced 35 minutes of vehemence and vigour that has enough depth to repay repeat listens. If Slavestate was an industrial-dance crossover, this is more like a metal-techno crucifixion.
    • 79 Metascore

    Beyond
    Mascis' ear-bleeding guitar soloing is ever prevalent, but there's a dynamism in the music here that was missing in previous efforts.

    A Humdrum Star
    Overall, A Humdrum Star is GoGo Penguin’s most cohesive, pleasing record to date.
    • 75 Metascore

    Heza
    Generationals are far from the only band making chirpy, world-influenced indie-pop at the moment--but it has so much genuine charm, so expertly executed, that it’s impossible not to fall for.

    Sound & Color
    It’s a surprising, hugely satisfying trip from a transformed band.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Talahomi Way
    In Talahomi Way The High Llamas have produced another album far greater than the sum of its component parts. It is unlikely to create any major impact on the current musical landscape but it augments and improves it in its own special little way.

    Four Stars
    In an age where musicians are constantly looking toward a more futuristic sound to portray their craft, The Greenhornes are living proof that looking back is sometimes the best bet.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Wake Up The Nation
    Overall Wake Up The Nation is an impressive achievement which sees Weller's brand of psychedelic soul-rock revitalized. Retro has rarely sounded this fresh.

    Prins Thomas
    The vibe is overwhelmingly positive, not to mention a bit woozy - ideal to take the edge off a hard day and turn it into a good evening.
    • 79 Metascore

    Expect the Best
    Expect The Best is the most akin to Mazzy Star so far.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats
    Rateliff has managed to succeed in breathing life into the classic soul sound by opening himself up and remembering that it is possible to dance your blues away.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Another Day
    There’s a lot to be said for Fucked Up keeping it simple, they really inject their songs with palpable passion that simply pours out of the speakers.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Fate & Alcohol
    Ten tracks which are probably the distillation of what Japandroids are all about. It’s a noisy yet tuneful swansong, full of fierce guitar chords, pummelling drums and songs about seedy downtown bars and hard-partying women.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    All or Nothing
    Its genesis was borne of urgency, and that’s a feeling that permeates every aspect of an album that positively twitches with energy.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Severant
    More melancholic than mechanical, Severant is a testament to the strength of the human imagination.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Construction Sounds
    Schneider TM invites the listener to project their own meanings and sense on these intrusive sounds made beautiful.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Entering Heaven Alive
    It makes for a decent companion record to Fear Of The Dawn but also works perfectly well as a standalone album in its own right. Two decades on, Jack White’s creative fire shows no sign of dimming.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Duke of Burgundy OST
    Full of subtle moments of fragile beauty, this is a lush and sumptuous album. As soundtracks go, it is a very lovely one.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Big Sigh
    This might sound like hard work, but in Hackman’s hands, dark and troubling scenarios are anything but. It’s testament to the sheer brilliance of her songwriting that can address difficult issues and still manage to make them sound positive and hopeful.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Hey Everyone
    Dananananaykroyd are, on this album's evidence, a fine band.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    King Of Jeans
    It is this contrast between the mundanity of the everyday life, personal vanities and dissatisfactions of a bunch of self-styled "young adults" and the terrific roar and hyperbole of their dirty, dark riff-laden music that provides the neat twist in Pissed Jeans' tail and gives this album its extra frisson.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Overload
    Overload contains multitudes, and at times its lack of cohesion can be a bit unsettling. But it is also proof that Muldrow can excel at whatever style she touches on, and a great collection of songs.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Dangerous Visions
    The rock history books have not been as generous to Live Skull as to their contemporaries, but with luck this crazy melodic record will go some way to restoring them as kings and queens of the urban jungle.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Come Home To Mama
    As on most of the tracks, Wainwright sounds terrific, her voice swooping and hollering at times, and quietly understated at others. No matter the tone though, the emotion is always unmistakeable.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    We Are The Pipettes
    There's so much of this record that causes a big smile to split your face that it can't be described as anything other than a success.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Mantasy
    Whilst it isn't flawless, it's as accomplished as it is experimental and it seems to improve with each spin.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Devil You Know
    This is punk music delivered with a righteous feminine fury.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Abbar El Hamada
    Monoglot English speakers may have little idea what she’s singing about, but such is the passion and grace of her delivery, Brahim could be reciting the Milton Keynes telephone directory and few would object. The fact that she has an important message to share makes her performance, and this album, even more significant and impressive.
