    Ta-Dah
    What remains is a band conflicted about how to stretch and how far to stray from a winning formula, between living up to expectations and confounding them.

    Dreamt For Light Years In The Belly Of A Mountain
    Thematically and structurally, this record is Linkous comfortably being Linkous.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Knives Don't Have Your Back
    She may not excel on her solo album the way she has with Broken Social Scene or Metric, but it's still a rainy-day listen.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Human Animal
    The most impressive part of this album is that, throughout its entire tuneless, dissonant thirty-three-minute duration, Human Animal is rarely boring; it's filled with cool sounds.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Release Therapy
    Luda has officially entered his "transition stage" as an artist. I hope it will produce better records than this uneven offering.
    • 80 Metascore

    Okonokos [Live]
    Couple the immaculate playing with a contagious, everlasting energy, and you have a true representation of My Morning Jacket on top of its game.

    Tired Of Hanging Around
    One of the most likeable albums of the year.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Outsider
    The Outsider shouldn't be framed as the second coming of a masterpiece but as a stepping-stone.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Darkel
    What Darkel does offer is more of a good thing: songs that sound like the follow-up to Moon Safari, if Air weren't so progressive.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Awoo
    The album is more polished and accessible than the band's previous work and other childlike plinky pop like Danielson.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Ben Kweller
    It seems to me that this album has already been made countless times by countless bands.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Letting Go
    The Letting Go benefits as much from diversity as from Valgeir Sigurosson's recording.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Dutchess
    Fergie is talented enough to compete with the likes of Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera, but the material on The Dutchess won't take her to those heights.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Food & Liquor
    Food & Liquor is the best hip-hop album of 2006.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Super Extra Gravity
    The Cardigans probably still won't shake the one-hit-wonder reputation... but Super Extra Gravity proves that the group deserves more respect than that.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Return To Cookie Mountain
    Return to Cookie Mountain makes Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes look almost silly by comparison.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Amputechture
    It's sad to see a band that touts itself as experimental sounding like a watered-down, unfocused version of its younger self.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Crazy Itch Radio
    Infectious, progressive, immediate dance music.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    So This Is Goodbye
    So This Is Goodbye displays an impressive maturation on the part of Junior Boys leading man Jamie Greenspan.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Pieces Of The People We Love
    The Rapture has made a safe record.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    FutureSex / LoveSounds
    Timberlake's second solo record is dark and dirty to begin and smooth and sexy to finish. With only a few awkward cameo tracks to damage its reputation, this is going to be the soundtrack of the next few months.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass
    I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass is the statement of a band insistent on showing the world it is not quite through being relevant.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Into The Blue Again
    Into the Blue Again is not essential, but its beauty is familiar and intimate.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Magic Potion
    Nothing new.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Get Yr Blood Sucked Out
    The members of Viva Voce accomplish a catchy cohesiveness that's at its best when they allow their songs to stray.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Air Force
    The Air Force goes beyond music that you play to clear out a party; it's the album you play to let your invitees know that you actually hate them.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Meadow
    Meadow features Buckner's most focused work in years.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Blood Mountain
    When the members of Mastodon decided to make an audiophile's wet dream of a metal album, they abandoned the vein-bulging spontaneity of their former selves.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    B'Day
    B'Day is a joyous uptempo album full of vibrant vocals, fierce production, and boundless energy. The only complaint is that it's over too soon.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Yellow House
    The attention to detail, the avoidance of crisp production, the resonance of the instruments and voices all contribute to the depth of the music and its ability to penetrate through to the listener in an almost raw and pure state.
