    Moon Tides
    The scope here is smaller, the instrumentals keener on serving as a pedestal for the vocals than as a landscape for them to get lost in.

    Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action
    It’s a tap on the shoulder, a reminder, or a nostalgic look back that this collective works best at providing kitschy, alternative dance anthems for millennials hellbent on shaking it to something more organic.

    Electric Slave
    While Lewis can emote with the best of them, a little more nuanced emotion in the music would really let his vocals shine.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Engravings
    Engravings is the sound of a man walking out into the coastline with his headphones on, the epic, Saxon past showing through the fog and playing with the Anglo present’s love of electronic music.

    Warp & Weft
    It is a mature and impressive collection that connects love and fear holistically.

    The Third Eye Centre
    There aren’t quite enough of these ringers to bring The Third Eye Centre to the A-game level of …Barman, but they at least make for a decent compilation album. And, some bands aren’t even capable of that.

    Era
    Living in any city brings its share of alienation. Disappears render the loneliness in Chicago’s orange smog and shattered buildings.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Carrier
    The result is an intricately variegated album torn between two countervailing threads: heartache and rejuvenation.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    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.

    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.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    An Object
    An Object, as a conceptual aesthetic project, borders on brilliant. Yet the music itself is not immediately captivating.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Flourish // Perish
    On Flourish // Perish, the Montreal trio takes a sharp turn inward.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Permanent Signal
    Permanent Signal’s lack of ambition and almost-there mentality will leave mouths craving something a bit more flavorful.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Versions
    Nothing on Versions quite tops the intensity of those first two tracks, and so the project carries some loose weight at its bottom half.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    We Knew It Was Not Going to Be Like This
    A little more of this adventurous spirit could launch Surf City from being a very good band to a great one.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Sleeper
    As an artist, the mystery man of a thousand songs experiences quite the growth on Sleeper, shedding the enigma in lieu of his most honest and human recordings yet.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Perpetual Surrender
    Throughout, songwriters Joseph Shabason and Kieran Adams create unique beat and synth driven pop songs, all tinged with themes of love, longing, and renouncement.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    I'm Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams
    They’ve produced an album that is a highly entertaining asset perfect for coasting out of summer.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    I Hate Music
    I Hate Music is no Majesty Shredding, but it’s no slacker either.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Hero Brother
    Hero Brother takes a few listens to fully understand, but the effort is rewarding and captivating.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Loud City Song
    Loud City Song is a sightseeing trip with a person fully able to portray the objective beauty of the sights, as well as her own take on them.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Doris
    It’s a work as notable for its technical achievements as its nuanced themes, and that’s almost as impressive considering that so many artists lack in one or both of those fields.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Stranger Than Fiction
    Looking back at Kanye West’s 808s & Heartbreak, there is much strength to be gained in weakness--Gates current momentum is fueled with that power.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Adiós I'm a Ghost
    Nothing on Adios, I’m a Ghost offends, and in fact it’s often pretty good. But it doesn’t leave much of a lasting impression, either.
    • 69 Metascore

    Hyde Park Live
    Some of the most fulfilling moments here are the bloated passages, while many of the other successful changes are the very minor tweaks.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Wild Feathers
    While The Wild Feathers clearly have the chops, what remains to be seen is whether they can develop their own voice separate from their forebears, and separate from what fans have come to expect.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Lost Control
    Lost Control refines Dog Party’s tone into a crisp and punchy power duo dynamic that stays sickly around the edges.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Shaky Dream
    Just recently reaching their five-year milestone as a band, Dinosaur Bones have solidified their ability to weave talented instrumentalists through the voids of Fox’s lyrical sorrow without falling into the trap of indie pop redundancy.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Tides End
    A portion of Tides End listens like a dramatic over-correction into the electro-pop realm. However, by album’s end, Kilfoyle and Verbos find the intersection between vocal melancholy and production excess.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Paracosm
    Elsewhere, he mistakes AOR-ready sentimentality and banal lyrics for perfect summer-album material, which seems like a misdirected pursuit--Within and Without already was a near-perfect summer album.
