    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.

    Three Men and a Baby
    Three Men and a Baby just happens to be one such experiment that doesn’t land with the blunt force fans might be used to.

    TM:103 Hustlerz Ambition
    There's some genuine emotional sentiment displayed, but the swagger's too powerful and everything falls prey to blasé boasts.

    Tomorrowland
    Mostly, though, Tomorrowland doesn't grate as much as it excludes.

    It's a Big World Out There (And I Am Scared) [EP]
    Comprised of seven outtakes from those [Wakin On A Pretty Daze] sessions, this new EP is another solid dose of heartland paranoia courtesy of Vile and his backing band, the Violators.

    Join Us
    Join Us is a throwback to the style of music They Might Be Giants built the first two decades of their career around. At long last, the duo has returned to making geeky adult music for geeky adults.

    Everything You've Come to Expect
    Everything You’ve Come To Expect feels necessary within the context of all their careers, and the project is worthy of a return visit in another decade or so.

    Year of the Witch
    The album might be a brooding thought battle, but with the support of dreamy, female sopranos, the burdens become bearable.

    Whispers in the Dark
    Whispers at its best offers every reason to anticipate Supreme Cuts as a force in their chosen field – even if that field's exact location, as it were, remains to be fully seen.

    Reckon
    Collett may have dodged the usual pitfalls of political music, but some more risk might have truly captured the anger that he, and the rest of the nation, feels.

    Hung at Heart
    Though much of the musical fun inherent in Hung at Heart comes easily, a few well-placed flourishes push out of complacency.

    How Far Away
    Putting aside some of those rough edges, however, the record is a more than adequate diversion until Real Estate return with LP3.

    Chorus
    A little bit of the candy-coated trip of Chorus works--but too much and the magic starts to fade, the moments losing their sheen, their details fading into an unmemorable pastiche.

    I Aubade
    Perhaps treasures will be revealed when we apply the deep, close attention Perkins requests. But not enough breadcrumbs are strewn along the path to encourage the search.

    4REAL 4REAL
    4Real 4Real carries some of the most introspective writing from YG to date.

    Kind Heaven
    Farrell’s ambition is an admirable quality he wears on his sleeve, and at times, he showcases an impressive stylistic versatility. However, throughout this album, he takes indiscriminate left turns, and it ultimately makes Kind Heaven a needlessly gratuitous and pretentious mess.

    In Limbo
    There's a little something for everyone on In Limbo, and all just a little off from what you'd expect. For a debut album, that's a massive accomplishment.

    The Third Eye Centre
    There aren’t quite enough of these ringers to bring The Third Eye Centre to the A-game level of …Barman, but they at least make for a decent compilation album. And, some bands aren’t even capable of that.

    in•ter a•li•a
    “No Wolf Like The Present” tips off the festivities with loads of frenetic energy, but it never leaves reality, and that goes for the rest of the album. Oddly enough, this restraint warrants some of the record’s finest moments, and when the Texas rockers aren’t twisting and distorting their music like a rubber band, they get lost in the ether.

    Madame X
    Madonna has created this music for an audience of one: Herself. Often it works. Sometimes it doesn’t.

    Remember Us to Life
    With Remember Us to Life, Spektor foregoes some of the whimsical narratives on previous albums and digs back into more personal thoughts, showcasing her inimitable vocals and piano talents.

    Diluvia
    Diluvia demonstrates growth for the band by finding a happy medium between a familiar sound and some well-placed surprises.

    Rad Times Xpress IV
    Where they strive to pioneer a new sound stemming from everything from 80s hair metal to industrial to funk, they ultimately come off sounding confused and even a touch pretentious.

    niggas on the moon
    niggas on the moon might be their most polarizing release yet, simply because it’s non-musical in many ways.

    The Color Before the Sun
    While many of the songs on The Color Before the Sun do fall into a certain post-hardcore formula that’s used over and over again throughout the album, the journey presented therein makes the difference.

    Noctunes
    For an hour, Beal indulges the softest, most serene edge of his songwriting. His voice unspools silkily, occasionally looping into falsetto, often multitracked over itself.

    Valhalla Dancehall
    Valhalla Dancehall is more of the same from British Sea Power, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but the band has done most of it before in a more memorable fashion. Nevertheless, fans of British Sea Power will likely find their visit to Valhalla Dancehall an enjoyable one.

    The North
    Their sixth album comes as a breath of fresh air after the dreary synthetics and spectral meditations of The Five Ghosts, opting once more to focus on the need to love passionately, messily, and dramatically, this time in the face of middle-aged stability rather than the reckless abandon of one's 20s.

    Warm Pulse [EP]
    An eerie dose of deep electronics, Warm Pulse is another step in the right direction for two producers building their own audience.

    Four (Acts of Love)
    While all of these versions differ wildly from their originals, they also lose a withering amount of weight due to arrangements that are generally sparser and slowed down.... The other half of FOUR‘s tracks are original, and although they veer more on the foreboding side, they also end before Harvey can establish any kind of differing mood.
