    Wonderful Crazy Night
    Under the production of John and T-Bone Burnett (back again after The Diving Board), the instrumentation on Wonderful Crazy Night is glossy yet separate, as if each part was recorded in its own high-end echo chamber. As a result, none of it sounds unified--more high-fidelity karaoke mix than a band that’s playing together.

    Computers & Blues
    Even though it's not quite his best album, Computers and Blues catches the Streets at the best he's been in years.

    Pajama Club
    Pajama Club definitely deserves a listen, if not for its diverse range of sound, then simply to appreciate the creative genius of Neil Finn.

    Le Voyage dans la Lune (A Trip to the Moon)
    An appropriate sonic companion so ethereal, any selenographer worth his weight in space could essentially disappear inside of it.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Interiors
    With the new focus on body-moving sounds, Interiors feels like Mesirow’s desire to appease crowds like those at FYF, without leaving behind those infatuated by the lusciousness of her first LP.

    The Ghost in Daylight
    The Ghost in Daylight is ignorable background music and the lowest point of the Gravenhurst discography thus far.

    The Babies
    The Babies is non-stop fun, refreshing in its straightforward approach and uncompromising energy.

    The Lion the Beast the Beat
    Although the majority of the album is indeed predictable, the band did take some risks.

    Space Ducks
    With Ducks, Johnston and cohorts craft a soundtrack that works as a cohesive album.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Delirium
    Ultimately, chunks of Delirium cement Goulding’s place in our current pop soundscape. However, the album doesn’t fit together as well as, say, 1989 or E-MO-TION.

    Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin'
    Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’ seems concerned with little more than keeping up appearances. Hopefully, the high points of the album are a proper barometer, and Kid Cudi’s next destination is a sight better than this.

    24K Magic
    24K Magic is his first album that works as a statement, and while it’s unclear if it will see the runaway success Mars has enjoyed in the past, the coherence and variety of the record’s sound and lack of any obvious dud point to the strides that Mars is making as a songwriter.

    The Deep Field
    Like some of rock 'n' roll's most revered performers, Wasser likes to evoke a little bit of danger and grit.

    This Is All Yours
    On their second album, This Is All Yours, they compensate for their own quirks by granting access points both for the radio-only audience and for the Internet music fans.

    • 50 Critic Score
    Hypnotized
    While many of the ideas on Hypnotized are promising, many are also beaten to death.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Shallow Bed
    Shallow Bed is solid, but it's not quite on the same level as something like Helplessness Blues or even Sigh No More.

    Mockingbird Time
    While many of these songs succeed, some performances also feel slightly phoned in.

    Another Eternity
    The album itself deals in paradox, too: light and pleasing to the ear, it’s an easy pop dose unless you choose to pay close attention to the lyrics. Then it becomes one of the most wrenching listens of the year.

    House on the Hill
    A sophomore effort that sounds largely indistinguishable from the debut in its strengths and weaknesses.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Begin Again
    Where genre and production experimentation may lead others astray, Jones brings a particular grace to songwriting that allows her to adapt almost seamlessly to new forms. Begin Again revels in exploration, proving no territory is inaccessible to Jones.

    Where You Stand
    Where You Stand reflects a band at peace, but it’s peace achieved through having successfully endured its share of bumps in the road.

    Time Capsules II
    A confident and promising debut that will leave you wondering where Brad Oberhofer and his cohorts go from here.

    One Track Mind
    Psychic Ills continue to produce music that succeeds by repetition, a trick that can’t hold up for everyone or in every situation.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Good Grief
    Voices this vast require production just as epic and Shawn Everett (Weezer, Alabama Shakes, Julian Casablancas) brings the wattage of a Celine Dion Las Vegas spectacle without it feeling shallow or cheesy.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Ride Your Heart
    Amid The Rolling Stones-style ramblings and pop heart, Bleached’s Ride Your Heart is a cozy debut from a reeling band of rogue Californians.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The Pinkprint
    If The Pinkprint is a letdown compared to The Blueprint, then Minaj brought it on herself. However, as a breakup album that takes heartbreak (or, more specifically, the feeling of having an infinite amount of love to give to an appreciative person) in every direction possible, it provides a template worth imitating.

    Ski Mask
    Rather than chase his early highs, Ski Mask is the latest issuance of a unique voice continuing to explore his particularities and place them in new contexts.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Air Conditioned Nightmare
    Like Miller’s series of short stories, this work is no direct condemnation of the diverse Unites States. It’s a series of realizations filtered through an inquisitive, if slightly paranoid, mind. The truths might not be revolutionary, but every generation needs new messengers.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Prom
    The majority of a record being submerged in noise certainly won't please everyone, but Prom stands as a solid second release from a group that certainly has a lot of growing left to do.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Bloodlines
    Although Bloodlines is a solid effort, it never seems to really take flight; alternately quiet and bold, it can’t seem to decide whether it wants to be a testament to Mathè’s artistic transformation or a kind of tentative experiment, to be abandoned if it doesn’t pan out.
