    The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser
    Although Zombie’s B-movie-in-a-blender lyrics come up short, Electric Warlock at least stakes a claim at being his most musically heavy album since 1998 solo debut Hellbilly Deluxe, or maybe even White Zombie’s Astro Creep: 2000.

    Neck of the Woods
    Neck of the Woods takes a similar middle of the road approach [as Halloween III], and as a result, the Pickups sound oddly de-fanged.

    Return of the Dream Canteen
    Return of the Dream Canteen is a pretty faithful second helping of Red Hot Chili Peppers as they stand in 2022. ... It’s hard not to wonder what kind of splash the album could have made had it been pared down or if there was more time between the two releases. As it stands now, though, Return of the Dream Canteen still manages to add more than it takes away.

    I'll Be Your Girl
    Though it contains a number of experiments that don’t quite work, I’ll Be Your Girl offers tracks that point to a very exciting way forward for the band.

    Somewhere Else
    The album is a sedate affair peppered with exquisite moments.

    Momentary Masters
    This is a charming album without spirit. Hammond’s singing is pedestrian at best and his writing often dry.

    Worship
    A Place to Bury Strangers have offered up another winning album that, while hardly the most pop-friendly record you'll hear this year, proves itself worthy of revisiting.

    Little Broken Hearts
    This is a serious indie pop album. Jones and Burton have created something that should fit in the record collection of any Feist-loving indie kid just as easily as that of those soccer moms she won over years ago.

    Light Science
    Last track aside, Light Science ends up being purely genius. The instrumental rock is fresh and unique, a brilliant light amidst all of the other dull groups who are generating "the same old thing."

    Evening Tapestry
    The instrumental quality on Evening Tapestry is beyond solid, but altogether, it's a recognizably decent piece of retro psychedelic pop.

    The Abandoned Lullaby
    Overall, The Abandoned Lullaby is a texturally interesting marriage of genres, but hardly a unique one. As solid as the music sounds, it's just not special enough to crave, making this collaboration rather forgettable.

    Dreams and Nightmares
    If Meek wants to maximize his potential, he'll have to step out from his boss' (er, bawse's) shadow and further develop his own identity.

    Curiosity
    These 32 minutes over nine songs total--a total that could easily qualify the collection a long-ish EP--leave you thirsty for further reverse-engineered fun.

    Adult Film
    Though not a bad album, Adult Film simply doesn’t hold up as well to the standard Kasher has set for himself over the years.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Small Sound [EP]
    Small Sounds does, as promised, show a subtle and seemingly natural shift in their sound as it morphs into more soulful, Motown-inspired grooves.

    Wave 1 [EP]
    It’s remarkable progress while also maintaining the signature sounds and style that he’s been fine-tuning for the last few years.

    Bob Dylan in the '80s, Vol. 1
    Some of the covers on Dylan in the 80s work because they restore the troubadour aspect of Dylan lore.

    1989
    The refusal to stick to one gender only adds to 1989‘s ubiquitous strength, making it less an album applicable to specific male/female relationships and more about relationships in general.

    Out Among the Stars
    Placed within the context of Cash’s legendary career, this collection sees the Man in Black shining brightly out among the stars, even at a moment when most of the world wasn’t really interested in stargazing.

    Wildewoman
    The two women command their stage throughout, taking disparate styles in their stride.

    Hard Bargain
    Emmylou Harris has rightly earned a reputation as an interpreter of songs and as a songwriter. Most on this offering are her own and not all hit the spot.

    Carry Me Back
    Carry Me Back stands as one of the group's strongest efforts to date.

    Whorl
    Intrinsically tied to the location where it was made, Whorl might have trouble finding its legs outside of an organic or properly curated live setting.

    Modeselektor Proudly Presents Modeselektion, Vol. 2
    In the end, Vol. 2 earns kudos for delivering something strikingly suited for those weird days where paranoia and uncertainty creep in.

    Dark Red
    With Dark Red, Shlohmo channels his pain into scintillating electronic exploits that riff off his emotions but don’t lodge.

    Majid Jordan
    Lyrically, Al Maskati spends Majid Jordan plainly expressing tense feelings of romantic unease, though his candor when singing about his heartache can result in cliches.... The directness of the lyrics can actually be effective when the rest of the arrangements complement their exactness, and Al Maskati and Ullman find that balance here more often than not.

    Home Wrecking Years
    While it would be interesting to see how some verbal clarity could also evolve Canning’s songwriting, the music alone is enough of a fascinating detour for him as an artist.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Lost in Alphaville
    The issue with Lost in Alphaville, besides simply retooling earlier Rentals songs, is its feeling of playing it safe.

    Annabel Dream Reader
    It’s not that The Wytches aren’t capable of ballads or contemplative space, it’s just that they haven’t found a way to do so in a way half as uniquely or powerfully as they have the big, explosive stuff.

    Notes on a Conditional Form
    Notes seethes with paranoia, charges of revolution, and, above all, honesty, providing a semblance of comfort during a, drum roll please, “unprecedented time” that truly affects everyone.
