    Diamond Rugs
    Even if this act is Deer Tick 2.0, this is still an album of infectious, ultra-grimy blues-rock tunes from dudes who've mastered the equation and then some.

    Factory Floor
    For now, they’ve delivered a derivative LP that’s also, ultimately, very much theirs.

    I Love You, It's Cool
    The end result is more appealing than the retro-heavy work of many of their fellow Brooklynites.

    SSSS
    Ssss may not be the album expected by longtime Depeche Mode fans, but for those who still appreciate mid-tempo techno, the vinyl is definitely worthy of coveted crate space.

    Away from the World
    The instrumentation throughout is flawless, with careful guitar, exacting percussion, and funky violin swirls all blending into that signature Dave Matthews Band sound.

    3 Pears
    Unshackled, Yoakam casually eschews his established sound for new ones, and although these pop experimentations won't please country music fundamentalists or single-searching radio executives, Yoakam has legitimized himself as an artist.

    Beta Love
    None of the tracks break four minutes. Yet there are clear moments of self-reflexivity that make the new direction an easy adjustment.

    Kiss Each Other Clean
    When the grandiosity succeeds, it's pleasing, perhaps even wonderful. But when it fails, which it does every so often (even at moments on the strongest tracks), it just kind of makes you wonder why things couldn't just stay the way they were.

    Synthetica
    Synthetica is also the latest in a series of Metric albums whose greatness comes in moments, rather than being fully actualized.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Longtime Companion
    While Longtime Companion may suffer from infrequent changes in pace and tone, Smith's archetypal broken heart is articulated kaleidoscopically, and with the authenticity of a grizzled highwayman.

    Arrow
    After her third lineup shuffle in as many albums, Wennerstrom has finally found a perfect counterpoint to her own remarkable voice.
    • 73 Metascore

    The Russian Wilds
    The Russian Wilds captures the magic of on-stage jamming.
    • 73 Metascore

    An Object
    An Object, as a conceptual aesthetic project, borders on brilliant. Yet the music itself is not immediately captivating.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Warp & Weft
    It is a mature and impressive collection that connects love and fear holistically.

    I'm Gay (I'm Happy)
    Yeah, he hinted at this sort of consciousness on a couple of recordings in the past, but this is full-fledged social commentary.

    Where You Stand
    Where You Stand reflects a band at peace, but it’s peace achieved through having successfully endured its share of bumps in the road.

    Until Now
    For Swedish House Mafia fans, Until Now is exactly what they wanted out of the trio.

    Generic Treasure
    It’s always a good reminder that everyone wonders what’s wrong with them, especially when its done so honestly, plainly, and engagingly as this.

    Outrun
    Once you’ve finished Kavinsky’s OutRun, you’ll want to buckle up and ride again.

    Payback
    Come for the hype; stay for the delivery. He's earned it.

    The Solitude of Prime Numbers
    It is at once as haunting and dreamy as it is harsh and calculating.

    Land and Fixed
    So many of the tracks on the disc are strong musically and structurally that it's hard to argue with Sniper's singular vision....But, it'd be nice if, on one out of every few of those tracks, Sniper would find a way out of his monotone.
    • 67 Metascore

    Femme Fatale
    It's engaging, and, in pulling the best elements from her past two efforts, Spears and her production crew built a purely blissful account of currently-trending tunes.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Looping State of Mind
    On the whole, Looping State of Mind is carefully thought out, beautiful in its lofty ambitions, and a refreshing return without any unnecessary sheen and gloss--minimalism that moves.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Reloaded
    Marciano has emerged with an album that doesn't so much use long-established sounds as insurance as remind why they're tried-and-true in the first place.
    • 77 Metascore

    Tamer Animals
    Simply feel inspired, because you can't help but be taken on a journey upon listening.

    This Modern Glitch
    The effort's as sweet as any candy and just as jarring as inhaling 11 inches of the stuff in one sitting.
    • 73 Metascore

    Where Does This Door Go
    For those awaiting more of Hawthorne’s soul revivalism, his new carefree mentality has also had a positive effect on the songwriter’s more straightforward soul affairs.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Free Reign II
    Free Reign II improves upon its predecessor and offers a welcome glance into the usually opaque process of assembling an album.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Four
    It's a jerky, dark, and layered record, complete with the kind of adept musical craftsmanship the London band first built its name on. On Four, Bloc Party learns the valuable lesson that sometimes the only way to move forward is to go back where you came from.
