    Turtleneck & Chain
    In the end, Turtleneck & Chain ends up being about on par with Incredibad--maybe even a bit better, regardless of the flaws.

    I Hate Music
    I Hate Music is no Majesty Shredding, but it’s no slacker either.
    • 54 Metascore

    Music From Another Dimension!
    Dimension delivers because of Joe Perry.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Born with Stripes
    Musically, Born With Stripes could use a touch more diversity, but vintage chops, summertime hooks, and a lack of filler are all certainly something to be admired.

    Strange Heaven
    This debut exploration into their Strange Heaven doesn't yield anything too complex, instead giving us an album of simple, short-lived fun.

    MTMTMK
    The slinky electric guitar, complex rhythms, mix of languages, and shimmery dance jam mentality wrap things up perfectly, lines blurred in the interest of the world's best party.

    Always Want
    Though the spirit of Always Want is dark, Woodroofe adds an element of irresistible intrigue, turning her secrets into an unforgettable debut.

    Rhine Gold
    With this record, he and his choir may very well have found that desired breath of fresh air without abandoning the immensely solid groundwork of album #1
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    GB City
    GB City might not be your cup of tea, but it could stand to help us who were around to relive the glory days of Geos and cassette decks.

    Guilt Trips
    On Guilt Trips, his debut album, Hemsworth collects textures that come off as trendy and limited on their own but, together, sound bright and even.

    Jamaica Plain [EP]
    Though it spans just 16 minutes between three songs, Jamaica Plain is a must-hear for Violators fans interested in a musical snapshot of the band’s early stages.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Go With Me
    Go With Me is assuredly worth more than a few listens. The fact that this collection of sun-bathed rock tunes have arrived just in time for summer makes it all the better.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A List of the Burning Mountains
    A frequently harmless, occasionally dangerous, and mostly curious album of oscillating noise drones and arryhytmic, spasmodic drumming.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fear Fun
    A striking, adept piece made accessible by Tillman's clear-as-a-bell voice, Fear Fun is the ideal companion for a weird headspace.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Monomania
    It’s a cagey, manic record that tethers the band’s new-American muscle to Cox’s longstanding self-immolation.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Strange Clouds
    The misplaced agendas piercing Strange Clouds are minor hindrances to an otherwise creditable album that has enough juice to maintain significant staying power.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Kveikur
    While energized, Kveikur doesn’t break away from Sigur Rós’ safe spots.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Static
    On Static, they arrive at a place where they’re able to sustain new layers of complexity across their songs.
    • 94 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Dopesmoker [Reissue]
    Come in expecting a mystical journey and take it for what it is--an hour-long, drug-infused jam--and you'll be pulled right in.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Argument
    It hits and misses, but it’s a memorable record from a songwriter worthy of the attention.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    About To Die [EP]
    The LP succeeded such that this set doesn't outshine its older sibling, but it certainly acts as a logical and warm companion, something that Longstreth seems to be insisting upon throughout.

    Release Me
    Thoughtfully assembled and beautifully rendered.

    Ducktails III: Arcade Dynamics
    Still, the nostalgic, ethereal quality of the music makes everything more refreshing and exciting than someone merely dabbling.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Native Speaker
    Yes, the influence of bands such as Animal Collective and Gang Gang Dance is present more often than not, but like all noteworthy artists, Braids are guided by the approaches their avant-pop inspirations take, rather than merely the sounds with their own distinct twist to them.
    • 74 Metascore

    Two Wounded Birds
    Two Wounded Birds have proven to be skilled at referencing music's past while infusing newer, progressive elements from random genres and movements.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Mega Rama
    The energy and quality of this record are nothing short of addicting–indicative of a promising future for a young band.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Between the Walls
    Between the Walls sounds significantly more prepared than both prior outings, its many synth, organ, drum, and guitar textures more attentively placed.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Instinct
    Instinct plays as an open love letter to all forms of pop, while subverting those same objects of affection.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    In Between
    There are still instances where Young Prisms reaches back to their old method, but the undeniable presence of growth gives their old ideas a fresh spin.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Ciara
    Other than ["Where You Go"], Ciara is a crisp, clean album that doesn’t waste much motion.
