    Beak and Claw [EP]
    An odd mix of personalities and musical styles, but somehow s / s / s works, and the result is something quite beautiful.

    Gutter Rainbows
    In that right, Gutter Rainbows is the ultimate success. However, in terms of accessibility, he's done better work, and this release will probably just go down as a good, but not a great Talib Kweli album.

    In a Perfect World
    With time, greater individuality will come. Right now, this is an accomplished and emotive statement of intent, cinematic in scope and able to raise goose bumps at will.

    Live on Ten Legs
    . Equal parts wistful throwback and raucous romp, Live on Ten Legs is a fun and lively ride through Pearl Jam's catalog.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fuzz
    Totaling just eight tracks, Fuzz is a rich, albeit hurried listen.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Chop Chop
    As the album title hints, the songs were recorded in quick, live takes and condensed rather than stretched unnecessarily. This all works to the greater good and marks Chop Chop as a triumph of substance over sophistication.

    Sorry
    White Lung makes angry music, and Sorry is best consumed when the listener can project some of his or her personal anger onto Way's.

    Cupid Deluxe
    Though the second half of Cupid Deluxe occasionally meanders and loses the immediacy of the first four songs, there are bright spots throughout. Hynes’s production is top notch, providing crisp treatments for his diverse, moody, NYC-inspired pop songs.

    In Focus?
    this is some of the cutest stuff you'll ever hear (barring the outside chance that these lyrics are dark, though I'd wager otherwise despite not speaking Japanese), and the child-like glee built in the thousands of layers of instrumentation on new disc In Focus? is kinetically infectious.

    Holy Fire
    They clearly understand their strengths and play to them, but they also generally know when too much is too much.
    • 52 Metascore

    Remembrance of Things To Come
    The swirling pallet does drone a bit, but the band has certainly carved out their own unique sound that should impress synth-heads and orchestral pop fans alike.

    Dracula
    The album does falter at times. "Extra Fast", "New Feelings", and "Wouldn't Tell" could have used some more development rhythmically. These stand out simply because the other tracks on the album are so catchy, so mesmerizing in their delivery.

    Le Voyage dans la Lune (A Trip to the Moon)
    An appropriate sonic companion so ethereal, any selenographer worth his weight in space could essentially disappear inside of it.

    Cole World: The Sideline Story
    It's a few outstanding moments short of the masterpiece many fans were expecting, but it clarifies that Cole has officially arrived as a major player in rap--at last.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Confess
    Though the truly memorable moments may be a little spare, the tracks are intricately layered, sleek, and super-charged, and they're strong enough to differentiate from the mass of '80s copycats.

    Howlin'
    The hits are so strong that you won’t mind trudging through a few missteps along the way.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Looking 4 Myself
    The 14 tracks on Looking 4 Myself leave the listener enticed, mainly because there is no pattern to what the next song has to offer.

    Visions
    Visions is a remarkable outing for Boucher in that it manages to showcase her knack for spinning bits and pieces from all points on the musical spectrum into crafty, easily digestible pop.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Gloss Drop
    As a whole, the album has a lot of impressive musicianship, outstanding atmosphere, and interesting composition. That said, it lacks a lot of the pure, frenetic energy with which its predecessor pushed and pummeled.

    21
    On her sophomore album, 21, Adele channels real emotion and blasts through sincere ballads and angry rockers with few missteps.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Junip
    More often than not, Junip can essentially be heard as an instrumental pop album with the music feeding and building off itself. After seeing parts of three separate decades together, Junip have finally worked up to what they can be at their best.

    Unknown Mortal Orchestra
    They've created for themselves a unique soundscape and vibe to explore in future releases. In short, they've proven that knowledge is great, but a rocking album trumps all.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Rhythm and Repose
    It's the rare solo record that tries on new clothes while still making sure the old ones fit.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Ride Your Heart
    Amid The Rolling Stones-style ramblings and pop heart, Bleached’s Ride Your Heart is a cozy debut from a reeling band of rogue Californians.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Hall Music
    Hall Music offers some thrilling contrasts, both in style and mood, giving Loney, Dear's sound a more orchestral makeover.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    2
    He owns these songs of slackerhood completely, delivering a lean collection of 11 that concisely communicate the nature of the 20-something daydreamer--no more, no less.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Lioness: Hidden Treasures
    Winehouse was an undeniably gifted singer and a unique talent. There are pieces of Lioness that reflect that clearly, and others that don't do as good a job.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Screws Get Loose
    While it's a bit worrying that flavor of the week genre trappings (surf rock and 60s girl group) show up on a sophomore disc, Those Darlins use them wisely, and retain much of their unique persona.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Sympathy
    Sympathy is strangely powerful, though the instrumentation is nothing revolutionary and Eiesland's vocals are not overly strong.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Cults
    For a debut album, it works, giving fans a taste of what to expect from Cults in the future. But, the album could have benefited from swapping a few tracks around and sticking with the earnest catchy sensibilities and immediately favorable pop-like nature.
