    True
    Despite the various moments of divergence on True, there is a musical uniformity that makes the album sound like a 45-minute multi-part song, a significant departure from Amoral, their disjointed but adventurous debut.

    Come Home To Mama
    Whether anyone outside Wainwright's devoted fanbase will take notice of the album is hard to say, but the world could use more pretty voices with smart ideas.

    Radiant Door [EP]
    Just as In Love With Oblivion helped them gain a better perspective on what their strengths are, the Radiant Door EP is a fitting in-between to hold listeners over until they reveal what's in store for album three.

    Kill My Blues
    What we're left with sounds an awful lot like someone trying to recapture the manner in which to express frustration and rage. She's not quite able to set the angst burners to full, but should she need to?

    The 2nd Law
    The 13 tracks lack some focus and cohesion, weakening what should be a limitless, quasi-spiritual slice of rock and roll transcendence.

    The Deep Field
    Like some of rock 'n' roll's most revered performers, Wasser likes to evoke a little bit of danger and grit.

    Lightning
    On their fourth LP, Lightning, the lovebirds have made songwriting a priority; but, as is the case with their high-energy, perpetually happy, DIY, song-along anthems, the lyrics alternate between the profound and the overwrought.

    Wonderland
    Wonderland may have worked better as a series of EPs, but as is the album fails to be more than the sum of its parts, possibly even hindered by poor arrangement of tracks and the odd inclusion of "The Kids Will Have Their Say."

    Flowers
    Flowers serves as a pleasant showcase of ornate, lightweight pop songs, but doesn’t quite raise the stakes beyond what we’ve seen from Sin Fang in the past.

    thefearofmissingout
    While half of the album succeeds in combining a slew of genres and sonic elements into a cohesive mix, the experiments don't always work so well.

    The Fall
    There are a lot of innovative ideas, some strong moments, but also a good amount of filler. If you give it a spin, though, you'll probably find some hidden treasures in these songs as well.

    The End of That
    It's wise and at times gorgeous but ultimately still processing the past and not ready to take risks.

    Uzu
    The newly expanded outfit leans more heavily on their prog rock influences, losing some of the distinctions and dichotomies that made their debut so powerful.

    Warm Blanket
    In the end, Warm Blanket offers proof that sometimes it’s good to stick to what you know.

    Dross Glop
    Even when the remixes don't come up with anything particularly groundbreaking to say, it's interesting to hear Gloss Drop through new ears.
    • 55 Metascore

    Havoc and Bright Lights
    Her syntax can look clumsy on paper, almost like she's trying too hard to express sentiments than make statements, but on record her words seem to flow and fit the music perfectly.
    • 61 Metascore

    Ruins
    Ruins succeeds a little more often than it fails, and one should look no further for a new playlist to accompany a late study session or classy dinner with some hip friends.

    The OF Tape, Vol. 2
    Too many things happen here, from the Brick Squad-type rave-ups to Ocean's R&B laments, for it to ever sound like a truly unified, full-length group project.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Into the Future
    While Into the Future, like Build a Nation before it, harkens back to the Brains' golden age, it's not the ROIR Sessions. The band couldn't recreate that sort of spitfire aggression today if they tried, and it would be almost unfair to expect them to. But it's close.

    Dormarion
    Dormarion [is] his most mature album yet, and proves Lerner to be one of the more talented young indie pop acts out there today.

    The Great Escape Artist
    The classic Jane's rough edges have been smoothed out and coated in electronic confections, but there is a darker, grinding groove beneath that sonic sheen.

    The Nature of Things
    Many of the tracks are sparse, relying more on the vocals of brothers Jon and Jason Sunde than anything else.

    Melt
    As it stands today, they're just another band doing a very familiar thing--at least they're doing it really well.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Conditions of My Parole
    Although only an industry standard 12 tracks in length, Conditions of My Parole feels slightly overlong with its high points noticeably spread apart, resulting in a familiarity that detracts from its ability to unnerve.

    Silver & Gold [Boxset]
    We're given a playful, fun, but ultimately unrewarding compilation for anyone other than completionists.
    • 69 Metascore

    Nanobots
    One key note on Nanobots then, given its general lack of new things to take note of, is in the surface stats: 25 tracks crammed into 45 minutes, including nine delightfully incomplete ideas under a minute long.

    Seeking Major Tom
    Although the variety of supporters helps, Searching is at least eight songs too long; the concept and Shatner's style often wear out their welcome.

    Free the Universe
    The inclusion of larger singles-moving, profit-generating artists leads to mixed results on Free The Universe.

    Diver
    It's amicable, it's friendly for the shoes, but it's like watching a mud-covered wild horse frantically kick at the locked barn doors.

    Woolen Men
    nd. Yes, the band tugs a little too hard at its roots at points, but it’s still a fun listen, and it’s hard not to dive in as they play in the dirt.
