    Eclipse
    Frustratingly, a few of the songs on Eclipse really do hit that arena-pop bullseye, but stacked alongside so many other songs mining the same territory, they become irritating by association.

    The Day Is My Enemy
    This LP is as sterilized and recycled as the pop gunk that the band profess to loathe.
    • 64 Metascore

    In Guards We Trust
    The generalized lyrics shrouded in reverb protect Richie by rendering anything he sings as essentially useless.

    Recess
    Ultimately, the highlights here are still middling fare, and mostly, I just couldn’t wait for Recess to be over.

    I Am Not a Human Being II
    The music isn’t as good as it was, sure, but what’s truly maddening is his apparent indifference to his own decline.

    This Is What the Truth Feels Like
    There’s nothing even remotely inventive here.

    Jessica Rabbit
    This is a mess of an indie pop album, filled to the brim with ambient interludes and a taste for unnecessary drum machines, but a mess that longs to make sense of itself.

    Wilder Mind
    Wilder Mind, airless to the extreme, plods on, song after saccharine song. Melodies do abound. But they’re wearying, like the mundane hell of children’s tunes, blasted on repeat, throughout a long car trip.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 16 Critic Score
    Happy People
    A hodgepodge of bland, rehashed, vanilla indie-rock, scarred by woefully inept lyrics, and completely lacking any of the infectious melodies and choruses that bolstered their debut.

    G I R L
    The real embarrassment is that more than the work of his peers or his idols, mostly Pharrell’s just ripping off himself to seriously diminished returns.

    Xscape
    Though the revamps are distractingly overwrought (this project could have been called The 20/20 Xperience), Jackson’s voice, pure and fierce as ever, cuts straight through Timbaland and company’s more-is-more fireworks display.
