    How Far Away
    Putting aside some of those rough edges, however, the record is a more than adequate diversion until Real Estate return with LP3.

    In Waves
    What's disheartening about In Waves is its lack of a clear identity; the band seem to be targeting too much at once.
    • 72 Metascore

    Mary's Voice
    It's the aural equivalent of a dusty old attic, rife with sounds that evoke memories of earlier times.
    • 70 Metascore

    Anything In Return
    While Anything in Return might be the most consistent of any of his records up to this point, it lacks the punch to break through.

    Son of Rogues Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys
    Son of Rogues Gallery merits a couple of hours of anyone’s time. Just don’t expect to put it all on repeat. The tracks you do will be worth it.

    Perils from the Sea
    Perils‘ biggest strength is also its biggest weakness: even at its best, it merely recalls the strengths of its individual players, instead of charting its own course.

    Born Sinner
    Allusions to apples are all across the 16 self-produced tracks, along with glimpses of snakes, countless temptations, and the feeling that Cole knows too much for his own good.

    Songs from the Vanished Frontier
    Though they don’t jar in any way, it’s easy to get the sense that lyrics aren’t the first thing that Cohen considers when constructing a song. It’s more that they glide over and drift in and out of the music without forcing you to stop to examine them.

    Blondes
    Blondes need to hone themselves-become harder, better, faster, stronger-if they wish to become memorable, to stand out in listeners' minds as something tangible and unique.

    The Lives Inside the Lines in Your Hand
    Most songs comfortably fit into a category I maybe unfairly have in my head called “As heard on The O.C.”

    A Quiet Darkness
    Two downtempo instrumentals do little to elevate their surroundings, and the album’s longer tracks reiterate more than they evolve. Still, Houses accomplish their aim of filling an hour with a cinematic, transportive music--a perfect soundtrack to milling about the end times.

    Glowing Mouth
    Glowing Mouth illustrates Wilson's impressive, technically precise vocal diversity, if not necessarily his range.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Hi Beams
    As evidenced by their remixes, the instrumental tracks here, and some of the pithier vocals, Javelin are high-caliber producers; their lyrics and melodies just haven’t matched that intensity.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ode to Sentience
    Ode To Sentience, while it's far from being a radical departure, has plenty of surprises.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    People, Hell and Angels
    People, Hell and Angel isn’t perfect--or godly--but it does contain some canon tracks that every Hendrix fan should hear.
    • 74 Metascore

    Blak and Blu
    In a perfect world, he'd have everything necessary to run the blues flag worldwide; for now, we'll have to settle for something merely enjoyable.

    Born This Way: The Remix
    Just in time for the holiday season, there's something for everyone on Born This Way: The Remix.

    From the Top of Willamette Mountain
    The range of effects the place has on the folk singer resulted in his most resonant work yet.
    • 76 Metascore

    CVI
    CVI is a serviceable debut-with remarkable vocal performances-but Royal Thunder sounds caught between what it is (a blues-wielding powerhouse) and what it aspires to be (prog-metal escapism).
    • 71 Metascore

    Blazing Gentlemen
    Blazing Gentlemen (and many of Pollard’s other releases) are less an album than a suite.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Glow
    Compared to Fourgeaud’s 2005 debut, Smash, there’s a new clarity within the arrangements. Clarity that allows the album’s inspirations to excessively bleed through a disorienting IDM facade.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Soft Fall
    While there is more focus to the classically tinged electro-pop songwriting on Soft Fall than their last album (2010′s Nocturne of Exploded Crystal Chandelier), it shows up in moments, and disappears entirely at others.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Let It Beard
    Let It Beard might be the weirdest but most original album of the year.

    Saaab Stories [EP]
    We get a Harry Fraud production showcase, with limited Action highlights--a moderately enjoyable listen that’s nasty, but unsatisfying.
    • 68 Metascore

    Lonesome Dreams
    Even with the cultural grandiosity described here, in many ways, Lord Huron's music is pretty standard Americana fair: catchy twang through a hazy lens.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    rEvolver
    As toe-tapping or even eyebrow-raising as some of rEVOLVEr's 17 songs are (overlong at 66 minutes of no skits, just music), there's little to nothing here to put it over the top.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    For the Good Times
    Equal parts good time and fresh, original takes on these classic tracks, the band offers a medley of styles that color these standards in a new light.
    • 71 Metascore

    Defend Yourself
    When it falls, it’s awkward, but when it gets there, it gets there. The blunders are all Sebadoh, but so are the gems.
    • 73 Metascore

    Tan Bajo
    While wild, boisterous garage rock is hardly hip in mid-2011, the breakneck speed and balls-out ferocity of Tan Bajo would be welcome at any time.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Sum/One
    For those up to the challenge, SUM/ONE is a unifying electronic endeavor, astute in its own deconstruction for an indie crossover, and rife with enough low-end euphoria to get the most dedicated basshead bouncing.
