    R Plus Seven
    R Plus Seven might be the first album to crystallize the simultaneous joy and terror inherent in a life of constant connection and constant surveillance.

    Innocents
    It’s a Moby album for sure. No gimmicks or schlocky attempts at something trendy like dub-step, and no curveballs to polarize fans.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Fuzz
    Totaling just eight tracks, Fuzz is a rich, albeit hurried listen.
    • 74 Metascore

    Event II
    It’s still engaging in places, but it never comes close to reaching the level of its predecessor.

    The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2
    The indulgence that fit the designer Suits & Ties of Pt. 1 colors this record’s jungle sex openings and hidden “Hey There Delilah” endings, and it hamstrings an otherwise great singer into making a mediocre record.

    B-Room
    Maybe it puts something of a low ceiling above its head by adhering too closely to the band’s recent efforts, but while little here stands out above other Dr. Dog records, the songs are still plenty good.

    Pure Heroine
    Lorde’s clearly a gifted songwriter for her age, but don’t let the novelty affect your perception of Pure Heroine. It’s a very grown-up album despite its teenage topics, and if you give a damn about good pop songs, then you owe it a listen.

    Days Are Gone
    It balances expectations with mystery, aligning their identity with a roulette of vantage points.

    The Diving Board
    This 31st studio album won’t be anyone’s favorite Elton John record, or even necessarily a must-listen.... But, John’s vocals and technical playing raise nearly any song at least one rung up the ladder.

    Negativity
    The party might be coming to an end, but at least Negativity gives enough of a hint that the band might be better off for it.

    Feelin' Good
    While positivity is an accessible escape within music, his comeback surfaces nothing new, accumulating few tracks that stand out and many an overkill.

    In Utero [20th Anniversary Edition]
    The 2013 remix is a bit of a wash, if only because the album already sounded great.

    The Last Ship
    It ends with a glorious resolution of two notes teased from Northumbrian pipes, so perfect and final that the reprise of “The Last Ship” seems redundant. Such honest moments make this album a worthwhile, if not fully rounded experience.

    This Is...
    In the end, you love this album. Of course you do. But not as much as you could have, and when you have this much potential and youthful energy on your hands, that sin is almost unforgivable.

    Wise Up Ghost and Other Songs
    It may not be quite the meeting of musical minds that fans and critics had anticipated, but that just makes it better.

    Nothing Was the Same
    Nothing Was the Same wrestles Drake’s successes with his ever-lingering insecurities, and like some of the best music, we can see ourselves in these songs. It’s an exhilarating change of pace for the genre.

    Herein Wild
    Frankie Rose still has great instincts of where her music should be going. She just has to trust them more.

    Mechanical Bull
    Mechanical Bull is the sound of a band reviving its former selves for the benefit of each other and for their longtime fans, and it’s their best album since Aha Shake Heartbreak.

    Outsides [EP]
    The three-track EP Outsides doesn’t exist as much in the melodic void as his straight acid work, instead choosing to teeter on the very fringes of free-form guitar and schizophrenic analog synth bombardment.

    Maybach Music Group Presents: Self Made, Vol. 3
    This album is comprehensive, but not exactly cohesive.

    Seasons of Your Day
    It’s about as confounding as it is disappointing.
    • 80 Metascore

    The Bones of What You Believe
    Simply put, they’ve evolved from a hype band to something much more coveted: a great band.

    Saves the Day
    Saves the Day puts the “pop” in pop punk, but it’s a sweet formula.
    • 67 Metascore

    Imperium
    Starting fresh on a new route rather than continuing down the old one, they’ve got a long way to travel if they want to arrive at a well-rounded psych pop record.

    Dream River
    Thanks to the rich clarity of his delivery and the prominent place that the vocals take in the mix, Callahan’s lyrics cast a long shadow over the rest of the album, allowing the literary connotations to carry over into analysis.

    Ooey Gooey Chewy Ka-Blooey!
    Ooey was a bizarre concept that, with effort and care, became an effective reality.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Tales of Us
    The album’s an impressive new beginning for the singer, and while she doesn’t quite get there 100%, she’s at least entertained the idea that this place is no fantasy.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Imitations
    Lanegan’s personality is present throughout Imitations without defiling the spirit of the originals, the best attribute of any cover.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Fly by Wire
    While Fly By Wire is pleasing, it feels like a daydream: lovely while it lasts, fading quickly, and hard to remember once it’s gone.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Factory Floor
    For now, they’ve delivered a derivative LP that’s also, ultimately, very much theirs.
