    Where Good One goes wrong is in the selection of jokes. Almost every bit on the album will make you laugh, if not giggle, but so much is lost in the purely audio translation.

    They're crafty enough to pack TRST with enough of their own quirks and curveballs to make for a surprisingly fresh debut, one that'll likely prove difficult to follow.

    Perhaps at times the material is a bit too perfectly, and a few raw edges might not go amiss. But that's little by way of criticism.
    • 69 Metascore

    Some of the most fulfilling moments here are the bloated passages, while many of the other successful changes are the very minor tweaks.

    They’ve produced an album that is a highly entertaining asset perfect for coasting out of summer.
    • 73 Metascore

    Throughout, songwriters Joseph Shabason and Kieran Adams create unique beat and synth driven pop songs, all tinged with themes of love, longing, and renouncement.

    Does it all work? No, but the results are uniformly intriguing.
    • 72 Metascore

    It's a pleasure to watch a genre change and evolve as this one, and a pleasure to watch dudes as experimental and committed to the scene as Mount Kimbie.

    Whatever digital rosin Lynne is using these days seems to be working. "Strange Magic", "Don't Bring Me Down", and "Do Ya" are just a few tracks that sound faster and fresher.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Have Some Faith in Magic will not be spawning the next crossover hit, but it's still a pop record in the feeling and influence it evokes.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    There's no shortage of macabre catch-phrases and hooky shout-a-longs, but if you haven't the patience for this much gloom, then the album's 40 minutes can drag in the middle.
    • 75 Metascore

    It will take a truly patient listener to not just sit through the album, but to parse McCombs’ language and internalize the spare arrangements.
    • 76 Metascore

    While Class Clown doesn't come close to the highs of Alien Lanes or the vastly underrated Universal Truths and Cycles, it still riffs and rolls enough.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Miles runs through the fields of melancholic '80s pop with ease.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Leave No Trace exemplifies Fool's Gold's versatility, a trend that will hopefully continue on future albums.
    • 79 Metascore

    Picker and the rest of Lost in the Trees have said plenty while also crafting a unique album that blends classical music with contemporary flair.
    • 75 Metascore

    A little more of this adventurous spirit could launch Surf City from being a very good band to a great one.
    • 82 Metascore

    Saves the Day puts the “pop” in pop punk, but it’s a sweet formula.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    It meets the expectations of its predecessors: music lovers get something new from beloved artists and the fans of Twilight who wouldn't generally dip into such genres expose themselves to more challenging tunes.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Yeah, it's garish, but it's also gaudy, loud, and primarily fun.
    • 71 Metascore

    The result is a highly enjoyable album of Afrobeat music accented with edgy bass and artsy guitar/synth melodies.
    • 70 Metascore

    Whispers at its best offers every reason to anticipate Supreme Cuts as a force in their chosen field – even if that field's exact location, as it were, remains to be fully seen.

    Compared to their eponymous debut, Let’s Be Still leans more heavily on pop ditties, which enliven and invigorate the album.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    he overriding feel of the album is one of attack although conscious maybe that light and shade is always to be found within the Thompson palette.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    What Happened to the La Las is their 10th studio album and continues their trend of solid studio efforts.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    As introverted as this album is, it manages to move the band forward a great deal.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Despite a few missteps, Acousmatic Sorcery is still a unique debut announcing the emergence of a fresh talent worthy of the buzz Beal has been receiving.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Much like the performance that has forever etched the band into my brain, this LP has a whole lot of showmanship and theatricality, but under the surface it's a refreshing take on the post-punk movement.
    • 59 Metascore

    Arguably mellower, definitely matured, Roses is a collection that will please more than enough people to chart without quite winning best in bloom.
    • 62 Metascore

    Interestingly, the album’s emotive selection happens to be its most musically daring as well.
