    Mystical Weapons
    On the whole, Mystical Weapons functions as fluid conversation between musicians who have left everything but the desire to explore by the door.

    Fade
    Fade comes together as one of Yo La Tengo's most refreshingly forward efforts in both sound and matter.
    • 68 Metascore

    Lysandre
    Too often, it just doesn't seem like he was as ambitious with the craft of this one as he was with past efforts, however natural they may have sounded.

    Berberian Sound Studio
    This is an album worth hearing, not least because it will make you want to see the film.

    Dogs Eating Dogs [EP]
    DeLonge's forgettable chord progressions feel like an afterthought to lyrics that try too hard to fit into Blink's more morbid adult persona of late.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Love Sign
    For a record that never tries to be anything more than a fun rock 'n' roll adventure, Love Sign strolls out unscathed.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    GMB
    GMB is a relaxed, enjoyable rap record by three dudes who have fun rhyming words together.

    Long.Live.A$AP
    On LongLiveASAP, his major-label debut, Rocky expands his horizons even further, indulging in relative experimentation while also adhering to the gifts that have catapulted him to stardom in just over a year.
    • 65 Metascore

    Synthesized
    Junkie XL never allows the guests to dominate the tracks, synthesizing polished layers by merging the strengths of outside players with his own multi-genre prowess.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Acts
    Although RNDM sound as if they are working in harmony on a variety of styles and sounds, Acts comes short of delivering something new and unexpected, the variety a sampler of things they've done in the past.

    Dedication 4 [Mixtape]
    For all its flaws, this tape still stands as evidence that Dwayne Carter isn't falling off as much as you might be hearing about.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Loyal
    Loyalty's spins are immersive and pining, and demand much of a listener who's more invested in the search rather than the convenience
    • 64 Metascore

    Trouble Man: Heavy Is the Head
    Tip might be eager for another major hit. But fortunately, most of the album finds him delivering more modest pleasures, which, at least at the moment, work just fine, too.

    From the Top of Willamette Mountain
    The range of effects the place has on the folk singer resulted in his most resonant work yet.
    • 56 Metascore

    O.N.I.F.C.
    Wiz doesn't often come across as having much of direction, but things like that are what make him strike as more lost than ever here.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Finally Rich
    Ultimately, Finally Rich exposes the limits of Keef's chosen lane and, worse, doesn't point toward a more optimal route.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Born to Sing: No Plan B
    While there are a few gems on Born to Sing, he's riding his name through the album instead of having something to say.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Nocturne
    Nocturne embodies one artist's sense of what pop used to be, so maybe the future will bring the perfect balance between his two albums, his ideal world.

    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.
    • 86 Metascore

    Life Is People
    Fay's songs sound as if they've simply been hanging out in the ether for all these years, just waiting to be put to tape.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Cut the World [Live]
    Ultimately, Cut the World is a successful experiment.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Joan Of Arc
    Where other releases traded in musical complexities, Joan of Arc strips the process down only to affirm Kinsella's forceful narrative intricacy.

    Holidaydream: Sounds of the Holidays, Vol. 1
    It's a delicate balancing act when a band attempts to rework Christmas music, but surprisingly, from an act known for upending expectations, Holidaydream's greatest asset rests in the Spree's restraint.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness [Deluxe Edition]
    Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness doesn't need rose-colored lens for appreciation. The album's success still lies from all the stylistic risks the band assumed, especially in comparison to music other alternative bands were creating at the time.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Failed States
    While scores of pop punk and emo bands continue to mope halfheartedly over lost love and childish transgressions, Propagandhi's tangible rage has always had eyes for larger, considerably weightier targets, and that combined with their musical prowess works in their favor once again here.
    • 72 Metascore

    Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors
    With Lies, Patton doesn't merely get weirder; he pushes the weirdness in a different direction, turning down the club bombast and horns of Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty in favor of electronica dreamscapes courtesy of indie acts such as Little Dragon and Phantogram.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Tre!
    It's a mixed bag that doesn't reach the lows of a forced, guest rap appearance, while containing some of the best songs the trilogy has to offer.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Ocean Roar
    The method with which Elverum captures and articulates these feelings is what makes his work so powerful--literally inserting his calm demeanor, his pleasant croon, in between insurmountable, impenetrable volume.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Grace/Confusion
    [Davye Hawk] likened this album's conception to "a maze to get lost in," which is the exact way listeners should approach his latest creation, for all of its sprawling incertitude.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Wu Block
    The seasoned tone and familiar production lend Wu Block ease and listenability, but also result in empty posturing on tracks such as "Take Notice" and "Do It Like Us."
