    Though the two men may feel that this is the most personal album yet, musically, Meteorites sounds more like Echo & the Bunnymen without its whimsy.

    It's a jumbled mess that's partly aggravating in its derivative nature. Not coincidentally, you live up to the album's title by its end. Still, like any long, tiring trip, it's the moments that count. Moby continues to excel in that.

    Occasionally, Wayne sounds either torn about the kind of music he wants to be making or even just short on ideas.

    While Classic Zeus sounds like it’s supposed to be catchy, it’s ultimately impossible to remember.

    It’ll satisfy the crowdfunders who have already paid for it, and if it helps the band bring their classic albums to more live ears, then it has done its job. As a work on its own, though, the Zombies’ sixth studio album comes off more polite than hungry.

    Ruins succeeds a little more often than it fails, and one should look no further for a new playlist to accompany a late study session or classy dinner with some hip friends.

    Remember My Name sounds a lot like a lot of other things.

    It feels like there's a lot of miscommunication in Shakedown, like killer pop hooks make for a good party, but not much more.

    EmptyMansions plays like a well-crafted diversion, an artist’s escape to play in his own corner of the musical playground, if just for a short spell.

    Unfortunately, Wasted on the Dream gets too mired in the darkness in between its party anthems.
    • 61 Metascore

    Paterson's deep respect for Perry's improvised vocals ultimately handicapping the eccentricities of each man's production prowess.

    Its shortcomings are fundamental--too long, too repetitive, too reliant on novelty--though hardcore fans will dig the spontaneity and candor.

    While Neon Icon likely won’t be the push that RiFF needs into the public consciousness, it certainly won’t hurt his reputation.
    • 61 Metascore

    There’s still much to admire in their metallic production and musicianship, especially from the rhythm section of bassist P-Nut and drummer Chad Sexton. But unqualified positivity can only go so far, in the end turning into something that can make you feel a little negative.

    Mostly, the album suffers from just too much of the patronizing, saccharine Disney vibe and not enough echt Wilson.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    That refusal to experiment as wildly as she once did reads as fear, and a pop star who’s afraid ends up sounding like the once-weird Lady Gaga does on ARTPOP: boring and normal.

    Further listening and a proper lyrics sheet might reveal similarly resonant words in more of the record’s songs. For now, however, Holy Ghost!’s lack of specificity and fixation with ’80s gloss have worked against them.

    While there are moments of punk-ish joy, this is a disappointing continuation of Ramone's genius.
    • 61 Metascore

    Ponderous musicality can be both mesmerizing and boring, and Black Laden Crown touches on both extremes.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Young long ago figured out how to write rants that engage. The Monsanto Years, listenable but dusty, is no different; it’s music you’ve heard before with a new bad guy as its target.

    As it is, When It Was Now has three great songs, four decent, and four forgettable.
    • 60 Metascore

    The indulgence that fit the designer Suits & Ties of Pt. 1 colors this record’s jungle sex openings and hidden “Hey There Delilah” endings, and it hamstrings an otherwise great singer into making a mediocre record.

    As an EP, it’s not much to look at. But, as a quick footnote at the end of II, where it’s placed on the album’s deluxe edition, it’s a nice bonus, an insight into an artist’s process.

    eXquire's managed to forge a six-track effort that's only power is to disappoint.

    It’s certainly not the worst Lil Wayne has done, especially with fluid performances on “Fingers Hurting” and “You Guessed It”. It’s that recklessness that’s absent.

    QUAVO HUNCHO ends up being a half-and-half affair: half making it easy to hit the skip button and the other half highlighting the talents Quavo brings to Migos.

    While this new self-titled album may point to a band dedicated to writing a new chapter for itself, the music they’ve made here only acts as the tentative (and skippable) introduction.

    The new Miley Cyrus record is a huge mess, but at least it’s an honest one.

    While Teen Daze's formula has worked in EP form in the past, it wears thin by the end of the full-length album.

    In general, though, the first half of Inner Classics feels more convincing than the second.
