    Dogs Eating Dogs [EP]
    DeLonge's forgettable chord progressions feel like an afterthought to lyrics that try too hard to fit into Blink's more morbid adult persona of late.

    POP ETC
    Rather than bursting forth with something new and unique, they wind up rehashing stale sounds and leaving the listener with an entirely unmemorable experience.

    Boys and Diamonds
    Boys and Diamonds ends up being hindered by the the same awkward, mock-ethnic yelps the duo seems to feel the need for on every other song they cut and the empty, tinny nonsense they seem to arrive at all too often as they attempt to craft memorable pop.

    Lulu
    Lulu is essentially a piece of shock art that's littered with vulgarity both lyrical and musical.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Fitz and the Tantrums
    Fitz and the Tantrums is an album that feels, by some bizarre paradox, like both a product of contemporary market forces and a depressing relic of an era of the music industry best forgotten.

    Harverd Dropout
    The Florida rapper’s limited strengths and many weaknesses become highly detectable on Harverd Dropout. Under Pump’s control, the album piles up songs without structure, lines without meaning, and hooks without melody; it’s utterly tasteless.

    Montage Of Heck: The Home Recordings
    Vinyl is not a good format for Montage of Heck, an album that requires a fair amount of skipping around just to qualify as tolerable. I’m using the word “album” loosely here, because this one fails as an album in almost every conceivable way, jettisoning any sense of unity or context in favor of positioning itself as an aural complement to Morgen’s documentary.

    To The Stars... Demos, Odds And Ends
    To the Stars… is a messy, frantic collection that suffers from a lack of focus and extremely poor sequencing.
    • 75 Metascore

    Government Plates
    The focus is less on total mayhem and more on creating droning dystopian soundscapes that MC Ride might occasionally hop on to yell over.

    High Life
    You can applaud them for chasing a creative high, but from two artists of their caliber, listeners should expect something better than High Life.

    Teeth Dreams
    From the sloppy production and uninspired arrangements to the fact that Tad Kubler hasn’t written a memorable guitar lead since 2008, Teeth Dreams sounds like the characters in its songs: past its prime and just trying to get by, but with the past creeping back in and not letting anyone forget it.

    Donker Mag
    Die Antwoord’s bombastic concerts and larger than life stage personas are not to be missed. However, this wild energy and devil may care attitude yield weaker dividends after being bottled and pasteurized in a studio that appears staffed by a cadre of rejected Saturday Night Live sketch writers.

    Immortalized
    With Immortalized, Disturbed don’t even try.
    • 57 Metascore

    No. 6 Collaborations Project
    On this record, he’s taking a stab at, well, every genre. It doesn’t pay off, though, because this effort results in a sense of emptiness, an abyss of authenticity or real feeling. And that’s the problem: Despite writing “emotional” ballads for a huge part of his career, none of us really have any idea who Ed Sheeran is.

    We Are Undone
    We Are Undone, masters the sinking feeling of sharing a sweaty car ride or claustrophobic interrogation room with the bad cop/existential mindfuck cop team of Marty Hart and Rust Cohle.
    • 55 Metascore

    Medicine
    Despite the occasional glimpse of colorful ingenuity, Medicine is an utterly sour experience.

    Are You Falling in Love?
    Unfortunately, "Besides You" is the only song really worth mentioning. Everything else is so awash in a wall of buzzing noises, you'd think you were at the World Cup and surrounded by vuvuzelas.

    Kids in the Street
    Kids in the Street is uninspired, '80s-laced material.

    Some Nights
    Skimming the top, fun. gets credit for its positive attitude and pocket full of catchy melodies, but on the whole, Some Nights remains forgettable.

    Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded
    While it's a whopping 19 tracks, half the album is nothing more than bargain-basement pop knockoffs of everyone from Beyoncé to Keri Hilson.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Fishin' for Woos
    Fishin' For Woos, the surprising 11th studio album from the band, lacks just about everything a record needs to be taken seriously.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Overlook
    Taylor's whispery, timid voice sounds restrained on nearly every track. Coupled with repetitive lyrics and monotonous rhythms, Overlook is a yawn-inducing piece.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Living Things
    Breaking down barriers is not the forte of Top 40 rock music, but when you can't tell the difference between a Linkin Park track and something produced by a plebeian confusing dance beats for real drums, something has to give.

    Angel Guts: Red Classroom
    The songs that are okay sound derivative; the songs that sound new are oozing messes that rough up everything that’s ever made Xiu Xiu work.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 16 Critic Score
    Sirens
    The most remarkable aspect of Sirens, aside from its general awfulness, is how unnecessary it all feels.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 10 Critic Score
    BAYTL
    Just another unnecessary, forgettable mixtape.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 0 Critic Score
    Revival
    Revival is the most pleasureless record he’s ever made, so stymied by his worst tendencies that like many other inept apologies from 2017 it only points out how much further he has to go rather than how far he’s come.
    • 53 Metascore

    Jesus Is King
    Jesus Is King is impersonal, repetitive, boring, and somehow too long at just 27 minutes. Some albums grow deeper with subsequent listens; Jesus Is King shrinks.
