    Cyclops Reap
    Unsurprisingly, the fuzz escapes through every pore, seeing Presley revving through erratic, lovely bedroom recordings.

    Tally All the Things That You Broke [EP]
    Tally, while fun and digestible, also sends some mixed signals.

    Diploid Love
    Dalle’s return performance, no matter how energetic and strong musically, lacks the lyrical details to latch onto.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Dark Sky Paradise
    Mostly, though, Dark Sky Paradise is an ambitious, tasteful album from a rapper who’s often viewed as neither.

    American Beauty/American Psycho
    The band’s talent and the occasional strike of inspiration make it impossible to write off AB/AP entirely. Let’s just hope they eventually strike a balance that’s true to themselves and doesn’t come off like a mainstream radio retread.

    Zeros
    Not quite accessible to the unsuspecting ears, Zeros appeals in that inexplicable, morose way, propelled by a certain pleasure entwined with the chaos of the uncertain.

    Attention Please
    Here, the band focuses on building atmosphere and creating interesting soundscapes rather than high-volume noise. This is rare: quiet Boris.

    Heavy Metal Music
    Newsted’s triumphant return has been one of the most surprising heavy metal success stories of 2013. They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore.

    Greatest Hits, Vol. 1
    The music is strong and the force is stronger, as Teenage Time Killers attempt to hammer out their namesake with flair, blasting track after track of unrepentant volume that cuts like a hardcore DIY effort, glazed by moments that mosh between Black Sabbath séances and CKY videos with almost no blood to spare.

    Oceania
    He's carved out an agreeable adventure with Oceania, and one that any casual or die-hard fan can embrace with true vigor.

    In Heaven
    For such a young band, Twin Sister has crafted a work of real emotional depth, and molded lots of interesting musical bric-a-brac into a record that will stay long in the memory and longer in the heart.

    The Sides and in Between
    The Sides and in Between is an honest attempt at reviving rock ‘n’ roll, transforming it without the cheesy “those were the days” vibe.

    • 58 Critic Score
    Ghettoville
    Considering potential downsides, the record stands decently by itself, but in no way akin to the power of the intermediate standalone albums; thus, Hazyville becomes necessary for a fuller appreciation of this release.

    Beautiful Things
    Props are in order for Green stepping out of his comfort zone. However, subsequent LPs are going to need to be more refined before they're ready to be deemed truly beautiful.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Heaven
    Heaven, the band's fourth release and first for the Modern Outsider label, is ample proof that the band knows their way around a pop song.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Delayed Reaction
    Despite the occasional retreat from formula, Delayed Reaction is very much a Soul Asylum record, and one fans should be quick to embrace.

    Noctourniquet
    For those who respect The Mars Volta for continuing to evolve after all these years, their latest offering will continue to inspire hope in the band's future.

    The Errant Charm
    The Errant Charm is, on the whole, immensely successful – a venture outside of a comfort zone, a triumph for an artist who has consistently put out quality music only to be instantly likened and compared to a list of formidable influences, and an excellent soundtrack to hazy summer days and introspection.

    Vows
    While neither reinterpretations of the past nor genre hopping are unique in the world of pop, it's the effortless way that Kimbra does it all that makes Vows a compelling listen.

    Glacier
    The entire album, an inspiring instrumental accomplishment that moves at a glacial pace, puts Jamison in the leagues of some of the better ambient musicians going today, and on only his first real foray into the genre.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Cold Hot Plumbs
    Cold Hot Plumbs’ main failing is that it occasionally can feel like a pedestrian experiment in honoring some of Dwyer’s favorite bands that Thee Oh Sees’ psych rock sound was too straightforward to capture.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Lupercalia
    While he succeeds fairly well at ensuring that Lupercalia spends its every minute displaying his emotions on its sleeve, it's fairly safe to say that this record won't exactly storm the charts.

    Tomorrow's Modern Boxes
    Yorke chose a modest delivery method for a modest album, hinting that the real goods have yet to come.

    Sumie
    Appropriately, her mellow voice layered upon rounded instrumentation makes the album blend into one long, sophisticated lullaby.

    Unknown Rooms: A Collection Of Acoustic Songs
    Unknown Rooms is admittedly an endeavor to listen to as a whole. But with the dense themes and music also comes reward: an acceptance for the unknown, and plucking the bizarre beauty from the inevitable.

    Muna
    There are moments in its middle that blend together, like experiments that weren’t properly executed. That said, with the fantastic and intricate highs of this album, Irglová has proven herself as a solo artist.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Too True
    Dee Dee Penny wears her heart on one sleeve and her influences on the other, and Too True is translucent with both.

    Natural History
    While there's still no reason to call these guys accessible, there are moments here.
    • 72 Metascore

    Disc-Overy
    The album is a good listen, but it isn't anything the world hasn't heard before.
    • 72 Metascore

    Bosnian Rainbows
    Whatever they’re reaching for as Bosnian Rainbows is far more exhilarating than what either party’s put to tape in recent years, specifically Rodríguez-López.
