    A List of the Burning Mountains
    A frequently harmless, occasionally dangerous, and mostly curious album of oscillating noise drones and arryhytmic, spasmodic drumming.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Instrumental Tourist
    Tourist could have benefited from more calculation and an emphasis on the things that have paid dividends for these guys in the past.

    Koi No Yokan
    The songs have more personal bite and emotional density. They have a soul.

    Downtown Rockers [EP]
    What prevents this record from becoming merely a trip down memory lane is its energetic freshness and its urgency, which sounds like that of the music Frantz and Weymouth made 30 years ago.

    Ghost [EP]
    Ferreira follows with a smörgåsbord of styles taking in electro-pop, country torch song, grunge and urban crossover pop.
    • 70 Metascore

    Sequitur
    This seeming juxtaposition of entirely retro leaning, concise pop sensibilities and massive, atmospheric tendencies shouldn't meld seamlessly, let alone adjoin each other, yet Hauschildt repeatedly finds a way to fit the pieces together.

    Medicine
    Despite the occasional glimpse of colorful ingenuity, Medicine is an utterly sour experience.
    • 75 Metascore

    The Mystery of Heaven
    An expanded look at this duo's heady, cinematic interplay likely would make for even stronger results.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Bears for Lunch
    The softer moments work well, but the band never forgets its garage-band roots. Bears' first and last tracks are steps up from the openers and closers of the band's other 2012 releases.
    • 57 Metascore

    18 Months
    Unfortunately, tracks like [Rihanna's "We Found Love"] and, to a lesser extent, Welch's slightly crowded "Sweet Nothing" float like life rafts atop a sugary sea of tunes that will be the soundtrack of television commercials for months to come.

    'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
    Allelujah!'s defiance of strictures of classic post-rock cinematic crescendos, or extended kraut-rock grooves, or popular musical modes and tonalities are what makes it work more as political album than it does as a traditional emotional one.

    An Omen EP
    The EP's major aesthetic shifts do lead to one issue: the lack of a core or soul to How to destroy angels_, a shortcoming which will hopefully be resolved on the outfit's forthcoming long-player.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Pale Fire
    Dark and light are persistent themes on Pale Fire; yet the color that bleeds through the most is an uninteresting shade of grey.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    (III)
    III is less playful than the duo's previous couple of offerings, but it's thematic mood is much tighter and more fully realized.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Lonerism
    The melodies are clearer, pushed up in the mix, given agency by their immediacy. The psych bits have earned an assured swagger, spiraling out from the center of songs.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Pt. 2 [OST]
    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.

    Power & Passion [EP]
    eXquire's managed to forge a six-track effort that's only power is to disappoint.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Reloaded
    Marciano has emerged with an album that doesn't so much use long-established sounds as insurance as remind why they're tried-and-true in the first place.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Put Your Sad Down [EP]
    Compared to Ghostory and its pockets of heat beneath a glacial surface, Put Your Sad Down exudes warmth, its playfulness invigorating the ever-evolving SVIIB and further pushing the boundaries of the "nu gaze" movement.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Free Reign
    The masks are still up on Free Reign, and the hints at human emotion lying behind them aren't strong enough to attempt to pry in.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Lux
    LUX holds up to close listening and background work alike, providing material for deep thinking just as well as the scene in which a character thinks deeply.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Dos!
    With a lack of depth, a messy focus, and a bloated sense of evolution, ¡Dos! isn't only a forgettable sequel to a bland predecessor, but a slip down the ladder Green Day has attempted to extend for over a decade.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    House on the Hill
    A sophomore effort that sounds largely indistinguishable from the debut in its strengths and weaknesses.
    • 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.

    King Animal
    Production issues aside, this record proves that Soundgarden still have their muscle but also hints that they are in the process of figuring out how to flex it again.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Zeros
    Not quite accessible to the unsuspecting ears, Zeros appeals in that inexplicable, morose way, propelled by a certain pleasure entwined with the chaos of the uncertain.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Dreams and Nightmares
    If Meek wants to maximize his potential, he'll have to step out from his boss' (er, bawse's) shadow and further develop his own identity.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Smalhans
    Smallhans is an electronic purist's dream and reestablishes Lindstrøm as an innovative producer who is capable of powerful work.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Inner Mansions
    It's another sound defense of the gradually fading chillwave movement, but as far as offering anything new to it, Mansions mostly treads the beaten path.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Music From Another Dimension!
    Dimension delivers because of Joe Perry.
