    Imitations
    Lanegan’s personality is present throughout Imitations without defiling the spirit of the originals, the best attribute of any cover.

    Tinsel And Lights
    Everything But the Girl's Tracey Thorn's Tinsel and Lights is just that, and you could do worse than add it to this year's Santa list.

    Together/Apart
    He and Budo's work together are a perfect match throughout the album. The lines are well crafted, and poignant, and the music is thoughtfully composed to match.

    Dreams Come True
    Overall, Taylor has tried his hand at electronic music, and succeeded. But are we surprised? No.

    The Flip Is Another Honey
    The Flip isn't a flawless effort; "Boy + Angel" and a few others lack punch. But updates to tracks like Cheap Trick's "Southern Girls" and Thin Lizzy's "Running Back" shine.

    Mystical Weapons
    On the whole, Mystical Weapons functions as fluid conversation between musicians who have left everything but the desire to explore by the door.

    How About I Be Me (And You Be You)?
    You may love or hate the record but you won't ignore it.

    Water on Mars
    The studio polishing shows Polizze’s songwriting strengths, and it doesn’t change the fact that he’s writing from an open, spontaneous place.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Wig Out at Jagbags
    Wig Out at Jagbags is a reminder that as long as we’ll keep listening and guessing, he’ll just keep playing guitar solos and spitting our analytical words for him right back at us, adorned with a rhyme and stripped of all seriousness.

    The Slideshow Effect
    Daydreams are the landscape of Memoryhouse's world, and they deftly weave not only different atmospheres, but paces.
    • 79 Metascore

    Hokey Fright
    The short interludes (“Superheros” and “WYHUOM”) break the album’s pace and hold back some of the flow. Overall, though, the combination of Rock and Dawson is undeniably addictive.

    Night Time, My Time
    Producer Ariel Rechtshaid (Usher, Vampire Weekend) channels the glitchy rave girl esthetic of the like-minded Charli XCX, but ups the scale considerably. Ferreira always manages to stay in front of the wall of sound, though, never getting lost behind it.

    Urstan
    Urstan is worth a plunge, even for listeners new to the musical genre.
    • 75 Metascore

    Bitchitronics
    Throughout, the sounds of warped and rewound tapes take precedence, but the whirring and whinnying only stirs up serenity.

    Electric Slave
    While Lewis can emote with the best of them, a little more nuanced emotion in the music would really let his vocals shine.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Discipline + Desire
    With their sophomore release, Wax Idols are carving a place for themselves in the camp of reverb-addled musicians who just won’t settle for normality.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Believe You Me
    There are moments at which the album relaxes too much, finding itself dangerously near the line of New Age spa music, but these are certainly the minority.

    Animal Joy
    The trio tosses musical Hail Mary's and nails it almost every time, producing a record that's life-affirming in its grandiosity.
    • 69 Metascore

    Little Broken Hearts
    This is a serious indie pop album. Jones and Burton have created something that should fit in the record collection of any Feist-loving indie kid just as easily as that of those soccer moms she won over years ago.

    Bryce Dessner: Aheym
    The Kronos Quartet carries a sense of adventurism akin to Dessner’s National pals, but their instrumentals work as more of a form of action than a single piece of the atmosphere, giving Aheym a tenser feel.

    Stay Home
    It's just fun and fresh and, as a whole, good pop music.

    Among the Leaves
    With 17 tracks, Kozelek proves that he in fact can write a song under the five-minute mark, can be bright and bereaved in equal measure, and can even have a little fun doing this whole music thing.

    Field of Reeds
    Listening to Field of Reeds sometimes feels like taking a test and forgetting everything you thought you studied for. At the same token, its gorgeous production, control, and vision make it hard to turn away from.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Love Will Prevail
    Love Will Prevail is a curious exhibition of raw materials churned into mysterious and haunting rock that constantly evades easy labels – and one that's combination of range and drive will duly reward repeat spins.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tres Cabrones
    Tres Cabrones is yet another example of the Melvins’ mischievous musical enthusiasm and ability to triumph over the rock star flare-outs, reunion cash-grabs, and stale maturity that have plagued other veterans of the Seattle scene.

    Sleeper
    On Sleeper, the tracks with more of Villain are wholly better than those with less.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Surfing Strange
    Swearin’ have reached the point where they’re almost too good at what they do. Surfing Strange boasts impeccable museum pieces, but its scuffed edges are what draw in the deepest.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Hardcourage
    It’s a frenetic blend for sure, but Lustman’s final product is anything but muddy.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Life Fantastic
    There are some moments of fresh maturity here (particularly "Shameless" and "Life Fantastic"), but none that top the mature moments on the last album ("Poor Jackie" and "Whalebones"), as well as not producing any fun jams as good as the last album's.
    • 82 Metascore

    Build a Rocket Boys!
    The band didn't set out to create a hit-laden album that repeats the successes of their past. Instead, they've crafted an album full of beautifully lush melodies, intricate patterns, and soaring vocalizations.
