    Her Loss
    Her Loss isn’t always a deep album, but that doesn’t make it any less profound. Sometimes excellent rapping over very dope beats mixed with a tinge of introspection goes a long way. Her Loss is our gain.

    Paralytic Stalks
    Paralytic Stalks is a fascinating listen, for both old fans and new.

    Go With Me
    Go With Me is assuredly worth more than a few listens. The fact that this collection of sun-bathed rock tunes have arrived just in time for summer makes it all the better.

    A New Testament
    A New Testament makes for a comforting, occasionally gorgeous listen if you can set aside your preconceptions.

    Encyclopedia
    Despite the occasionally rote nature of Encyclopedia, you can never doubt for a second that the emotions underpinning every word and every note are genuine.

    Burn Your Town
    Much like the performance that has forever etched the band into my brain, this LP has a whole lot of showmanship and theatricality, but under the surface it's a refreshing take on the post-punk movement.

    The R.E.D. Album
    The R.E.D. Album should be enough to have fans' fingers crossed in hopes that he sticks around for more than that.

    Don't You
    This organic quality pops up every so often, as if to reinforce the human element of an album that relies so much on electronic flourishes to get its point across.

    Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros
    Even despite her [Jade Castrinos] standout moments and Ebert’s assurance that Edward Sharpe is now something much bigger than him and a rehab-inspired alter-ego, the whole thing is his show, through and through.

    A List of the Burning Mountains
    A frequently harmless, occasionally dangerous, and mostly curious album of oscillating noise drones and arryhytmic, spasmodic drumming.

    The Sound of the Life of the Mind
    The freewheeling Ben Folds Five still do the best imitation of themselves.

    Doo-Wops and Hooligans
    This fulfilling 10 track album has very few holes, and if this is just a taste of what he has in the vaults for either himself or for other artists, he should be racking up some Grammy's shortly.

    Big Grams [EP]
    Throughout Big Grams, Big Boi, Carter, and Barthel demonstrate their ability and willingness to take risks, even if some don’t work as well as others.

    Primus & the Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble
    Primus & the Chocolate Factory plays like one of Claypool’s many passion projects. It’s entitled to live by its own convoluted logic.

    Bangerz
    Don’t be shocked that this album is mid-level pop, be surprised that even at 20, Miley can open her scope to encompass country, hip-hop, ballads, and even the electronic impulses of today’s pop.

    These Systems Are Failing
    Taken individually, the tracks from These Systems Are Failing are refreshingly vibrant for the 51-year-old Moby, who, even after 12 studio albums and countless other releases under his belt, continues to reinvent himself.

    Push and Shove
    There is plenty to enjoy as you push and shove right to end of the album.

    World Wide Rebel Songs
    From start to finish, you are in Morello's world. It can be dark. It can be cheery. But most of all, it's his.
    • 61 Metascore

    Birthmarks
    Birthmarks is, largely, the sound of the band learning how to gracefully leave behind pre-pubescent tomfoolery in favor of meatier themes and weightier production.

    Id
    He should be tired after creating an album in a voice so insularly his. That insularity can make tracks blend together some, but Laufman’s genre-collaging and quirky point of view make Id a compelling listen.

    Timez Are Weird These Days
    Nothing, be it labels or names or even time itself, can hold Theophilus London back from making great music.

    Stills
    Stills explores its feelings of hurt and misgiving more deftly with its music than with its lyrics; if you’re sick of Dick and Barry types, the darkly-focused new wave avant-pop of Stills can still offer its rewards.

    Spine Hits
    Spine Hits is still a great collection of rock songs, and while there's a grain or two of filler, it delivers in immediacy and replay value.

    Prism
    While neither Perry nor Prism push any boundaries for pop music, they certainly raise bars.

    Pacifica
    From word one to the closing synth note signifying The End, Pacifica is a literary and musical sensation worthy of true scholarly attention.

    Queen of Me
    Even if there are some places where Queen of Me falls a bit flat, her legacy speaks for itself. The twelve tracks in this album encompass her first full release since 2017, and, if nothing else, it feels wonderful to still have Shania’s distinct voice and genuinely unique perspective in our lives.

    Certified Lover Boy
    Drake’s new release may lack some of the variety of his previous albums, but its concepts and musical structure make for a solid body of work.

    Count Yer Lucky Stars
    Thanks to a dedication to old-school sounds and a timeless sense of songwriting, Gringo Star has established itself as a truly great act.

    Pillowfight
    [Dan the Automator] chooses instead to tone down his own propensity for sample-oddities to focus on tones of Wells’ voice and visceral lyrical expressions. This is certainly a project that deserves further attention from each artist.

    Every Shade of Blue
    Ultimately, Every Shade of Blue is an easy, accessible listen, and many of its tracks are certainly radio-friendly. There are pleasant pop hooks and a few earworms here and there.
