    Mauve
    It's 2012, and the lush expanse of Mauve, both feet planted in 1991, still has the ability to spread over you slowly and entirely, like a veil of noise.

    Former Lives
    While the record doesn't completely clear the bar, all things considered, it doesn't fall too far short.

    City of Refuge
    The collaborators' influences are visible, but not dominant, as Washburn's banjo remains central, striking a nice balance. Some fine tuning and vocal variation could make for a stellar follow-up to these new genre endeavors, but a return to her classics, for this immensely talented artist, would be equally as appreciated.

    Excerpts
    For those who enjoy a contemplative stroll through the park on a Sunday afternoon, this album, paradoxically cohesive through its dissonance, perfectly scores that experience: it's bright, intriguing, and calming.

    Who Needs Who
    Who Needs Who marks Dark Dark Dark as a band to watch, even if they are still a few songs short of hitting their stride.

    Almanac
    "Sore Eyes", the only track that could have come from previous albums Widowspeak or The October Tape, halts the record some, but the rest of Almanc's 12 tracks dabble with Americana, the sounds of the '70s, and the band's already-established dreamy haze, resulting in a record that satisfies with each homage.

    Departing
    Departing loses a great deal of what made its predecessor so rewarding. It's got the music down pat, but a skeleton doesn't make a person. While a surface-level listen to these songs is satisfying, they won't hold up for too long. Not with Mangum back in town, either.

    Dethalbum III
    Dethalbum III's tongue-in-cheek bravado delivers a more potent hour of music than many of the icons who originally inspired it.

    Black Panties
    It’s the polarizing swing, though, between Kelly’s genius and his flagrant misogyny that makes an album like Black Panties enticing and frustrating in equal measure.

    End It All
    Throughout, Beans defies expectations while also simultaneously fitting everything together into a singular sound.
    • 78 Metascore

    Migrant
    The meandering, navel-gazing second half diminishes the succinct and undeniable power of the first.
    • 71 Metascore

    White Fence Is Growing Faith
    In contrast to the Kinks, White Fence eschews the immediacy of hooks in favor of impenetrability.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Dear Miss Lonelyhearts
    Dear Miss Lonelyhearts fails to reach back far enough to the band’s less polished, indie blues-fueled Robbers & Cowards days, but at least integrates that sound with hints of the striving-for-stadiums pop-rock Mine Is Yours offered up.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.
    • 75 Metascore

    Mosquito
    The payoffs don’t always resonate with the pineal, which should be the one thing worth counting on from the band.
    • 59 Metascore

    Synesthesia
    Too often, elements of the LP are unrecognizable from that of its competition.
    • 78 Metascore

    I Can See the Future
    The album is a simple paean to the joys of motherhood and oozes contentment at every turn.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Pines
    Pines dances between Sudol's ballad-heavy debut, One Cell in the Sea ("Sad Sea Song"), and her more dance-ready sophomore effort, Bomb in a Birdcage ("Sailing Song"), and Sudol's subject matter has shifted further from pining for a man and closer to self reflection and possible happiness.

    Ghost on Ghost
    As puzzle pieces to a full-length album, at least a third of these songs come off as superfluous and unnecessary.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The World Is Yours
    It's a curtain call, a salute to the masters by the master himself, and frankly, as moderate as The World Is Ours might be, one cannot deny that what Lemmy says, goes.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    In Guards We Trust
    At its best, In Guards We Trust is terrific fun--a bold break from the cynicism and detachment that characterizes too much of the band’s native city. But a few more careful edits might have kept the record from blowing its gasket by side B.

    Food & Liquor, Vol. 2: the Great American Rap Album, Pt. 1
    Some of these tracks give Lupe the room to triumph... But he falters on the frivolous "Heart Donor."

    Dedication 4 [Mixtape]
    For all its flaws, this tape still stands as evidence that Dwayne Carter isn't falling off as much as you might be hearing about.
    • 74 Metascore

    Noctuary
    he album is full of gentle waves, and as such, the peaks tend to stand out, but the formula becomes apparent after enough iterations.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    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.

    Uno!
    For now, we have to take it on its own accord: an overly-slick record that does the job for its current audience of diehards, whilst teasing the crusty veterans that dabble occasionally.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Keep Your Dreams
    The fact that a few more structured, disco-leaning tracks fill out the album can't entirely redeem the aimlessness that pervades so much of the disc, leaving Keep Your Dreams in muddled territory.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Time Was
    Time Was is a relaxed record, one that thrives on its melancholic mood. The pace is slow and methodical, but never boring.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Animator
    Animator is an easy album to admire, as the band is clearly pushing themselves and working in sonic territory that is neither comfortable nor easy.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    A Very She & Him Christmas
    Ultimately, A Very She & Him Christmas is an enjoyable if forgettable project that its creators probably had a very fun time making.
