    Seeds
    Instead of trying to pinpoint source material or the exact way it came together, kick back and revel in all the joy it pumps out.

    Biophilia
    Though Biophilia is hardly easy listening, even by Bjork's challenging, outlandish standards, there's little doubting it'll stand as one of the more rewarding albums of her storied career.

    Bahamas Is Afie
    Bahamas Is Afie demonstrates a powerful agility and musical literacy on Jurvanen’s part, and its powers of seduction lie in how easy he makes it all look.

    Blisters in the Pit of My Heart
    There’s only a certain level of cute that some listeners can tolerate in their guitar rock cocktail, but for those willing to embrace a style of music that’s immediately satisfying and goes out of its way to relate to the people who need it most, it’s hard to do better than four Brits who, by their own admission, “stumble over words from time to time.”

    The Hope Six Demolition Project
    By orchestrating an album meant to embody the difficult experience of the advantaged world talking about the atrocities that surround us, the majority of the project lacks a clear stance beyond what has been readily called “poverty tourism.”

    Runner
    Runner is worth it. Aesthetically, it's one of the band's most synthetic albums, continuing along a path they started on near the turn of the century.

    Dedicated Side B
    Perhaps the B-sides are not all as special as what Jepsen chose for her official album, but she saved them and released them with her fans in mind. All along, she was most dedicated to them.

    I Am a Problem: Mind in Pieces
    I Am a Problem isn’t the anomaly it might at first seem, but it is also its own beast. And a powerful, eccentric beast it is, snarling and stalking the shadows.

    Bend Beyond
    Woods hit upon some of their clearest depictions of dark emotions on Bend Beyond, while simultaneously offering an escape in the emotive beauty of their music.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Three Futures
    While the use of synthesizers, programmed drums, modular instruments, and even Scott’s purposefully stilted guitar riffs give the album its background, it’s a framework designed to confront the nature of the human body itself. Three Futures is overwhelmed with senses.
    • 79 Metascore

    Desperation
    Despite the layoff, Desperation is the work of a band that still knows a few things about rock ‘n’ roll stripped of pretense.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Cody
    The transitional record nails the discomfort of feeling out of place or unsure of yourself. Imperfect but impassioned, Joyce Manor astutely capture uncertainty and anxiety throughout Cody.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Coexist
    Coexist surges forward and retreats within itself more than its predecessor but still never breaks the surface, existing in the liminal space between a song and a thought.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Lotta Sea Lice
    Lotta Sea Lice, Barnett and Vile’s first collaborative album together, makes for a remarkably sublime pairing that brings out the best in each artist, an unexpected gem that sits near the top of either’s discography.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Standards
    Standards is by far the most bombastic album of Into It. Over It.’s career.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    DSU
    At its best, DSU cycles through that duality with aplomb, which will serve as an excellent introduction to his gigantic discography for all new fans.

    Pressure Machine
    The stark, stoic songwriting coursing through Pressure Machine tells a much more layered story however, and by the time that same train can be heard approaching in the album’s final coda, it’s up to the listener to decide whether it’s a harbinger of impending doom or an altogether different way of finding your way out of life in a forgotten town.

    • 80 Critic Score
    Father, Son, Holy Ghost
    Father, Son, Holy Ghost succeeds thoroughly at nearly everything it does, expanding Owens and JR White's palette beyond the scope of the duo's debut without going too far out on a limb.

    Post Pop Depression
    While Post Pop Depression is full of life, it’s also checkered with countless allusions to Iggy’s musical mortality.

    Before The World Was Big
    Their songs run thick with the anxiety of uprooting, but they’re also rich with characters, some of whom are referred to affectionately by name.

    Feral Roots
    Across 11 tracks, the band keeps listeners engaged thanks to a spread of bluesy rock. Electric rhythms intertwine with warm vocals and glowing melodies throughout Feral Roots, making for an experience where listeners will find something different to enjoy in each track.

    Pedestrian Verse
    Here, finally, is a Frightened Rabbit for all seasons: warm, buzzy tracks intersect with quieter, calmer numbers, and a few touches of the old acidic sadness, all tied together into a multi-dimensional package.

    Sexwitch
    It’s fun, it’s mysterious, it’s committed to its concept, and it could be the album of the Halloween season.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Working With God
    The Melvins’ winning combination of riffs and black humor is in full force on Working with God, making the album recommended listening for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Schmilco
    Though the album came out of the same sessions as last year’s looser, wilder, and intentionally irreverent Star Wars, there’s now a deliberate quietness and gentleness to the core instrumentation.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The Family
    The biggest lapse on The Family, unfortunately, is that it’s one-sided. We don’t get to hear from the other members about how they feel it all went wrong. We’re not given a collage, just one vivid picture from Abstract’s perspective.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Last Summer
    Friedberger has a way of nearly speaking her vocals. With Last Summer, this works to her advantage.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    So Much Fun
    So Much Fun succeeds in its quest to highlight the success of Young Thug; almost all of the 19 tracks could stand alone as a strong demonstration of what Thug does best, but they also work together to create a cohesive project.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Violence Unimagined
    Violence Unimagined doesn’t precisely deliver a standout track, but it promises an exciting and surprisingly subtle turn in the band’s legacy of brutality.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Brothers and Sisters of the Eternal Son
    Brothers and Sisters shows the songwriter at his most adventurous, aspiring for something bigger in a new direction.
