    Hymnal
    The overlapping layers of symbology on Benoit Pioulard’s latest disc, Hymnal, shroud everything in an Earl Grey mystic fog.

    Heartbreaking Bravery
    The result is a blend of startling lyrical depth and slow, whirlpools of murky music.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Time Travel
    Time Travel has some stellar moments but is not quite the album to make a star of Alessi's Ark. The singer has time on her hands for that to happen, and happen it surely will.

    That's Why God Made the Radio
    While That's Why God Made The Radio may not be in the same league as SMiLE or Pet Sounds, it's an immensely satisfying and interesting outing.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks
    You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks stays true to its title, not really introducing any new elements to this Seasick Steve's canon, but perfectly satisfying if you're coming in not looking for a revelation in his sound. Expect the expected and this album won't disappoint.

    Blood Drive
    As a result, Blood Drive is an entertaining (if somewhat safe) record--hopefully the first of many now that ASG is in the Relapse stable.

    The Rip Tide
    By leaving behind the experimentations and the peculiarities of their former albums, Beirut create an album that's all too easy to hold on to and all too easy to let go of.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Kiss Land
    The 23-year-old Tesfaye will almost certainly make a bigger, better record soon. For now, Kiss Land works fine as one of the year’s most fearless pop releases.
    • 65 Metascore

    Lost Sirens
    For the time being, Lost Sirens may not "stay with you 'til Hell freezes over," but long-standing fans are sure to rejoice in this welcome blast from the past.
    • 68 Metascore

    Clash the Truth
    Clash the Truth is Payseur evolving, the band shifting in a direction that’s probably unlike what they previously imagined themselves moving toward.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Leaving Eden
    Like the eponymous candy, Leaving Eden will draw you back for more of that sweet warmth to melt on your tongue.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Me Moan
    On his sophomore LP, Me Moan, Gibson manages to dig even deeper while never lifting a knee from the alters of Hank and Willie.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Elysium
    [A] precise and neatly packaged 12-song collection.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Blunderbuss
    He's a little scatterbrained on Blunderbuss, as if he's still shaking up his past to move forward into the future, and as a result, Jack White represents everything Jack White has already accomplished.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Dreamer/The Believer
    The album doesn't really spark until you fold in a few of the harder tracks.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Ekstasis
    Often very pretty, just as often very strange, Holter has crafted an album that reflects her unique vision, though it fails to captivate the whole way through.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mature Themes
    Mature Themes is definitely bonkers, and it's also the quintessential tapestry of hi-fi genius.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Coming Apart
    At almost 60 years old, Gordon is still pushing the musical envelope, and that in and of itself is something worth celebrating.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    La Grande
    While a sense of nostalgia runs through the record--from archaic instrumental sounds and gramophone crackle to Gibson's own pure vocal distilled through multi-tracking--the sheer craft she brings to blending the old with the new makes listening an altogether rewarding experience.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Beyul
    The saxophone lines and other decidedly non-metal trappings only work because Yakuza (as they prove on this disc) have a hard-beating metal heart.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Surrender to the Fantasy
    On Magik Markers’ latest, Surrender to the Fantasy, the rough edges are further sanded down, the songs revealing interest in a diverse set of genre signposts.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Resolution
    There are no concepts, no gimmicks, no frills: just straightforward metal, period.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Total Folklore
    Total Folklore doesn’t stray far from the scratchy kaleidoscopics established in its first few minutes, but it keeps the madness churning throughout.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    By The Hedge
    There are some real pop gems on here, especially if you're fond of The Cure and their ilk. Maybe it's just me not getting that soupy gloom that seems to be out there for everyone else.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Alpocalypse
    There is no perfect Weird Al album. Each of his records act as a cross section of culture. They become time capsules.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Privateering
    Privateering is a rootsy testament to Knopfler’s rich reservoir of influences.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Trouble Man: Heavy Is the Head
    Tip might be eager for another major hit. But fortunately, most of the album finds him delivering more modest pleasures, which, at least at the moment, work just fine, too.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Lux
    LUX holds up to close listening and background work alike, providing material for deep thinking just as well as the scene in which a character thinks deeply.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dancer Equired
    There's a glint of genius in these songs that's best realized if you turn this album up as loud is it can go and think about relationships and stuff. Even if noise/lo-fi/shitgaze is showing its wrinkles, its heart still beats strong here.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Dusted Sessions
    The Dusted Sessions leaves you unsure of what you’ve just heard, like seeing a natural wonder for the very first time and feeling like a speck in the vastness of it all.
