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

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

It's the aural equivalent of a dusty old attic, rife with sounds that evoke memories of earlier times.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

Most songs comfortably fit into a category I maybe unfairly have in my head called “As heard on The O.C.”- Consequence

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.- Consequence

Glowing Mouth illustrates Wilson's impressive, technically precise vocal diversity, if not necessarily his range.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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).- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

We get a Harry Fraud production showcase, with limited Action highlights--a moderately enjoyable listen that’s nasty, but unsatisfying.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence
