    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.

    Mosquito
    The payoffs don’t always resonate with the pineal, which should be the one thing worth counting on from the band.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Synesthesia
    Too often, elements of the LP are unrecognizable from that of its competition.

    I Can See the Future
    The album is a simple paean to the joys of motherhood and oozes contentment at every turn.
    • 66 Metascore

    Pines
    Pines dances between Sudol's ballad-heavy debut, One Cell in the Sea ("Sad Sea Song"), and her more dance-ready sophomore effort, Bomb in a Birdcage ("Sailing Song"), and Sudol's subject matter has shifted further from pining for a man and closer to self reflection and possible happiness.

    Ghost on Ghost
    As puzzle pieces to a full-length album, at least a third of these songs come off as superfluous and unnecessary.

    The World Is Yours
    It's a curtain call, a salute to the masters by the master himself, and frankly, as moderate as The World Is Ours might be, one cannot deny that what Lemmy says, goes.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    In Guards We Trust
    At its best, In Guards We Trust is terrific fun--a bold break from the cynicism and detachment that characterizes too much of the band’s native city. But a few more careful edits might have kept the record from blowing its gasket by side B.

    Food & Liquor, Vol. 2: the Great American Rap Album, Pt. 1
    Some of these tracks give Lupe the room to triumph... But he falters on the frivolous "Heart Donor."

    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.

    Noctuary
    he album is full of gentle waves, and as such, the peaks tend to stand out, but the formula becomes apparent after enough iterations.

    Port of Morrow
    Port of Morrow captures Mercer in a different era, and although questionable at times, it's a fruitful adventure that requires a little swinging and paddling.

    Uno!
    For now, we have to take it on its own accord: an overly-slick record that does the job for its current audience of diehards, whilst teasing the crusty veterans that dabble occasionally.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Keep Your Dreams
    The fact that a few more structured, disco-leaning tracks fill out the album can't entirely redeem the aimlessness that pervades so much of the disc, leaving Keep Your Dreams in muddled territory.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Time Was
    Time Was is a relaxed record, one that thrives on its melancholic mood. The pace is slow and methodical, but never boring.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Animator
    Animator is an easy album to admire, as the band is clearly pushing themselves and working in sonic territory that is neither comfortable nor easy.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A Very She & Him Christmas
    Ultimately, A Very She & Him Christmas is an enjoyable if forgettable project that its creators probably had a very fun time making.
    • 74 Metascore

    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.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Deep Field
    Like some of rock 'n' roll's most revered performers, Wasser likes to evoke a little bit of danger and grit.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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."
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The End of That
    It's wise and at times gorgeous but ultimately still processing the past and not ready to take risks.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
