    The Bears for Lunch
    The softer moments work well, but the band never forgets its garage-band roots. Bears' first and last tracks are steps up from the openers and closers of the band's other 2012 releases.

    Give the People What They Want
    Whereas I Learned the Hard Way suffered from a lack of variation in songwriting, Give the People What They Want transverses the dictionary of soul and pulls out a few different entries, making it a much more engaging record.

    Pillowfight
    [Dan the Automator] chooses instead to tone down his own propensity for sample-oddities to focus on tones of Wells’ voice and visceral lyrical expressions. This is certainly a project that deserves further attention from each artist.

    Every Kingdom
    Every Kingdom is quite a self-assured debut, delivered by a guy who could be your best friend and still date your sister.

    Circles
    For the most part, the record brims with that signature fuzz, groove, and drone, but it's not monochromatic like last year's Mazes.

    Dynamite Steps
    Dynamite Steps, appropriately enough, is an album of powder kegs and bright flashes -- moments that boldly spark, then quickly burn out.

    World Wide Rebel Songs
    From start to finish, you are in Morello's world. It can be dark. It can be cheery. But most of all, it's his.

    Miami
    An archly dramatic set of compositions.

    Mr. Impossible
    Always challenging, never compromising, Black Dice prove why it's the most thrilling noise band around.

    Don't Act Like You Don't Care
    Temple's solo work is an entirely different sound from his work with Here We Go Magic. It is warm, rich, and tinged in the soft, lo-fi fuzz of four-track recording.

    Glazin'
    Although ultimately neither revolutionary nor a rehashing of what has worked in the past, Glazin' will definitely add another dimension to an already fantastic live show and is certainly another solid addition to the Boys' catalog.

    Come of Age
    The result is a quarter-life crisis set to music, one you won't mind experiencing over and over again.

    Crimes of Passion
    For what it is--the latest installment in a tradition of sad dudes trying to numb their pain with upbeat pop--it does its job well.

    AHJ [EP]
    On AHJ, there’s not a bad apple in the admittedly small bunch. It’s 15 minutes of music from a guy who is finally comfortable with himself, and that’s clearly doing his music justice.

    D.A.I.S.Y. Rage [EP]
    Mild criticisms aside, this EP is a step forward for Kitty and her puppeteer, Kathryn Beckwith.

    Give You the Ghost
    Polica succeeds because they cover a lot of ground with few moving parts.
    • 65 Metascore

    The Golden Age of Knowhere
    At its core, Golden Age speaks up like another highly anticipated LP with everything to prove, and the proof is in the pudding.

    A Treasure
    Yes, it's a live album, but not "this is what he's been doing recently." If anything, this feels more like a vault release of a new band with familiar faces. Above all, you can feel the exuberance that comes from playing raw, unbridled live music, and there are few from that generation who excel at this better than Neil Young.

    Era
    Living in any city brings its share of alienation. Disappears render the loneliness in Chicago’s orange smog and shattered buildings.

    Neighborhoods
    The weighty aesthetic makes the punky bombast all that more effective and fascinating but also tends to swallow it up in an ocean of melodrama.

    De La Soul's Plug 1 & Plug 2 Present...First Serve
    It might not rank alongside De La Soul's watershed moment 3 Feet High and Rising, but it's a welcome return to a time when rap music was fun and bursting at the seams with creative samples and hungry emcees.

    Damage
    In their quest to update the breakup record for those a bit too old to mope and stew in their juices, Jimmy Eat World succeeds here for the most part.

    Antenna to the Afterworld
    Smith’s wit and droll storytelling skew the sci-fi elements more Vonnegut than Heinlein, the extraterrestrial flourishes clearly used to explore essentially human elements rather than push into outer space.

    Lenses
    There’s no doubt that Soft Metals know their genre well, and through all the creepiness, there’s a kind of joy in hearing two young musicians in their element.

    Torture
    The sounds on Torture are pretty much identical to what you hear on every other record by Cannibal Corpse: If it ain't broke, they aren't fixing it.

    Relax
    Considering the frequent, quickly turned-around, and mostly undercooked efforts of this very niche micro-genre, Relax is Das Racist's definitive album to date.

    Mole City
    On Mole City, Quasi embrace their scattered thoughts with a wink and a grin, and never let go.

    For My Parents
    For My Parents isn't likely to go down with your Slow Riot for New Zerø Kanadas or Spiderlands, but there are times when it seems to break new ground.
    • 78 Metascore

    Other Worlds
    It's an altogether beautiful experience, if not a game-changing one, and clearly one to adopt a comfortably horizontal position to as you reach for the Hawaiian Tropic.

    We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic
    For a band that just started writing pop songs, this sophomore LP is an impressive outing.
