    Sam Baker's Album
    The result is a woozily involving mood piece that encompasses everything from the shimmering heat of daytime ('Lifesized Stuffed Animal', where music box chimes rub up against disoriented square wave bass) to the dead of night, caught in the lairy drunken lurch of 'Kitties'.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Family and Friends
    When the album stops playing the temptation to categorize Family and Friends as a literate Streets project or Buck 65 with a flair for topic sentences is irresistible. Only one song exceeds the five-minute mark, though, and most are just over two minutes, so boredom isn't a problem.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Bermuda Drain
    Bermuda Drain is, from the off, a massive step forward for Prurient.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Family Sign
    The Family Sign commits a few of hip hop's cardinal sins and doesn't provide nearly enough justification for doing so.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Organ Music Not Vibraphone Like I'd Hoped
    While the album is by no means a disappointment, one can't help but long for the return of a less inhibited Krug, free of – albeit self-imposed – limitations.
    • 93 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Life's Rich Pageant
    Life's Rich Pageant rather sweetly gathers the emotions and carries them back to the time.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Two-Way Mirror
    One immediately clear difference between Two Way Mirror and previous Crystal Antlers work is the fact the band, led by vocalist and bass player Jonny Bell, have improved immeasurably as musicians.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Famous First Words
    Yet for all their bluster of writing anthems for a new generation and saving guitar music, the reality is little more than a damp squib.
