    Revolution Radio
    Revolution Radio plods its way down roads the band first stomped on years ago. In a career filled with euphoric highs and honorable lows, this might be the first album that sits exactly on the middle of the scale, dipping its toes into every possible outcome but refusing to dive in and embrace either comfort or chaos.

    The Flip Is Another Honey
    The Flip isn't a flawless effort; "Boy + Angel" and a few others lack punch. But updates to tracks like Cheap Trick's "Southern Girls" and Thin Lizzy's "Running Back" shine.

    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.

    Gold and Stone
    Gold and Stone jumps genres in a way that feels authentic and natural, navigating the fine line between pushing the envelope and holding onto the status quo.

    Blood
    Blood’s most engaging moments come when La Havas pierces through the layer of polish that’s coated her work to date.

    We Are the Champions
    To play with the big boys, or to call themselves champions, these brothers will need to figure out what they want to talk about. Until then, they have nobody convinced.

    Lovers Know
    Burhenn isn’t breaking any new ground with her lyrics, but the heartfelt delivery conveys a sort of factual, universal truth that is rare in such personal songs.

    Compassion
    For a prolific set of musicians, Compassion feels like the work of a group taking time to flesh out their ideas. With this headier approach comes a loss of some of the engaging, energetic moments of International, but also a renewed confidence.

    Cobra Juicy
    Cobra Juicy is the most technically focused that Black Moth Super Rainbow have ever been, but it also lacks an important degree of their trademark self-contradiction.

    Barter 6
    Barter 6 feels like a step in the right direction rather than a destination, proof that Thugger can put together a complete package even if it’s less than adventurous.

    13
    Despite the volume, 13 is a return to form--if a somewhat obvious one--and an example of perseverance.

    TRST
    They're crafty enough to pack TRST with enough of their own quirks and curveballs to make for a surprisingly fresh debut, one that'll likely prove difficult to follow.

    Handwritten
    Handwritten houses some of Fallon's strongest compositions to date, and while it ain't punk, neither is The Gaslight Anthem.

    Hills End
    Sure, Hills End peaks fairly early, but the album plateaus in a way that’s inviting, comfortable, and better yet, quite addicting.

    Th1rt3en
    Subtracting pretentious weight from a band that boasts several loose concept records in its catalog, TH1RT3EN might not don a full sense of humor, but it is 13 tracks of unadulterated hard rock in a classic package

    Purple Reign [Mixtape]
    Purple Reign stands as a fine mixtape by itself--neither his best nor worst recent work, it nonetheless works perfectly as a preview of what’s to come.

    After the Disco
    The songs, sonically and structurally, don’t sound contemporary at all. At best, they sound like disco by way of these two artists, both of whom have been making similar songs for five, maybe ten years.

    Kinshasa One Two
    DRC Music may save the world after all, but they haven't done enough to make this a truly lasting effort.

    Hundred Waters
    There's a lot to love here despite its flaws, and the band stands to have a break out year.

    Fishing Blues
    Along with Ant’s confident production work, there’s a sense Slug is finally comfortable with the man he’s become, what he’s accomplished and where he’s going.

    Weezer (White Album)
    The album is strongest when drawing on cues that aren’t exactly new or original, but spitting them out through the filter that is very much Weezer.

    Waiting for Something to Happen
    Along the way the band delivers a succession of sparkling melodies in wistful yet grounded indie-pop songs that are satisfying enough for you not to want to change stations along the route.

    Summer Camp
    Summer Camp is a tribute to their talents, the duo having ducked the “second album syndrome” so adroitly with this release.

    One of the Best Yet
    Gang Starr’s first album in 16 years affords us an opportunity to luxuriate in the thousand-watt magnetism of Guru, who even at his shabbiest is contagiously zen. Every so often he flubs a line or falls off the beat, but Guru is never not in complete control of his instrument. ... Brace yourself for tonal whiplash; Premier is a tease of the worst kind.

    Zonoscope
    In fact, it's very hard to determine what the actual standout from this album will be, because literally every track is full to the absolute brim with the genius of seasoned veterans

    Breathing and Not Breathing
    Despite all of the weirdness, this is a band that deserved to have their story told, to receive mass attention rather than merely cult status, and this box set should achieve that.

    Mia Pharaoh
    It's this combination of contemporary and old school that makes the album so successful.

    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.

    Half of Where You Live
    Half of Where You Live is a strong follow-up from a producer who’s underrated due to his patience and steadfast refusal to be ostentatious.

    Doom Abuse
    The lyrical content is the same paranoid, anti-establishment apocalypse they’ve been writing since Dance Macabre, and while the music is a shift back to the grime that was absent from Fasciinatiion, it’s still The Faint holding to their new wave revival.
