    Testing
    It’s a welcome addition to a genre that has become so occupied with spacey, bare-bones operations and overly simplistic results.

    G I R L
    Those who aren’t giving Williams the time of day are missing out on some of the richest, most tasteful pop of a generation. And G I R L, his first solo album since 2006’s In My Mind, is 47 more minutes to back that up.

    Starboy
    It would help if more of the album were idiosyncratic that way, but as is, Starboy is still the sound of Tesfaye knowing he has what it takes to be a major figure in pop music for a very long time.

    Volume 3
    While Deschanel’s songwriting is classically strong, the performances spot-on, and the arrangements undeniably impressive, She and Him don’t offer much of an update to this classic sound.

    The Remixes, Vol. 1
    Likely prompted by Ultra Records, The Remixes Vol. 1 is much more of a marketing tool for the imprint than a career highlight for Araab.

    Lost Themes II
    What the album lacks in singularity, it makes up for with a stronger sense of urgency. It’s louder, it’s heavier, and it’s jammier.

    Advaitic Songs
    OM delivers transcendental moments on Advaitic Songs, entrancing washes of mystic depth.

    I Decided.
    I Decided. is a fresh statement that proves Big Sean is continuing to evolve.

    Everybody's Coming Down
    It’s a safe-sounding, classy album.

    Hold/Still
    The four remain honest with their work, and the work rises to the challenge as a result.

    Life Sux [EP]
    As a whole, Life Sux reinforces Williams' preternatural fusion of pop punk, surf rock, and now grunge. And that's what he should stick with.

    Joanne
    The result is a work that may not close any circles, but instead start the pattern of a new shape: something weird, but compelling, and largely authentic.

    Yung Rich Nation
    When all is said and done, this album will be looked at as a turning point for the trio: the moment they went legit.

    Iradelphic
    Iradelphic is a deceptively ambitious album, and while its revelations might get a bit lost, it could be one of the most interesting releases this year.

    Dream World
    These tracks have enough originality to further Araab’s run as a progressive producer and a consummate artist in his own right.
    • 67 Metascore

    Friends for Now
    All in all, Friends for Now is an impressively strong debut that exceeds even the vast expectations of those fans primed on the band's introductory singles and releases.

    Elysium
    [A] precise and neatly packaged 12-song collection.

    Brilliant! Tragic!
    While the album is again principally focused on Eddie Argos, it's not exactly the same Argos. He has his quieter moments, his darker moments, even a rare, purely happy one. It's not a huge difference, not one that makes this seem like it's somebody else's album, but it's a difference nonetheless.

    The World Is Yours 2
    Although the surplus of features is at times overwhelming, The World Is Yours 2, is an extremely strong sophomore album.

    I Sell the Circus
    There’s an unmistakable feeling of sameness that runs through I Sell the Circus, which isn’t to say that it sounds tired--anything but.

    Femme Fatale
    It's engaging, and, in pulling the best elements from her past two efforts, Spears and her production crew built a purely blissful account of currently-trending tunes.

    Sing in My Meadow: The Nomad Sessions, Vol. 3
    Vol. 3 isn't as intimate as previous installments, instead relying on a metaphorical outward exertion of sweat, blood, and terror; the alt-rock blues numbers are on a long leash with a short time to bask.

    Nehruviandoom
    While NehruvianDOOM is solid on its own, he’s [Bishop's] still working toward his destination.

    Love Sign
    For a record that never tries to be anything more than a fun rock 'n' roll adventure, Love Sign strolls out unscathed.

    The Way
    Less concerned with fictional romance than with virtual reality, it’s an anxious record from a band that should be settling comfortably into old age. It’s also a powerful argument for why the Buzzcocks remain relevant in spite of their increasingly troubled take on modernity.

    The Archer Trilogy, Pt. 3
    The delicate frost patterns that encrusted Pt. 2 haven’t melted here, but this time, stronger muscles squirm underneath.

    Ducktails III: Arcade Dynamics
    Still, the nostalgic, ethereal quality of the music makes everything more refreshing and exciting than someone merely dabbling.

    Triage
    At only nine tracks, Methyl Ethel has no time for filler, so they make a statement whenever they can. During the first listen, you may pick up on some of their faults, but multiple visits can expose you to all their hidden treasures.

    Paddywhacking
    Friley's crooning is the consistent attraction throughout Paddywhack, creating a warbled daydream for listeners to fall into.

    Player Piano
    Summer needs a wistful, nostalgic soundtrack, and Player Piano has stepped in.
