    Bad Blood
    There’s nothing inherently wrong with this too-many-feelings, heart-on-your-sleeve approach; it’s just that, played out over the course of an entire album (or on the airwaves, over the course of several years), the whole thing starts to feel a bit contrived.

    Indicud
    This record just proves that Kid Cudi has a lot of sorting to do, and continuing down the same old path simply won’t cut it in the long-run.

    Fallen Empires
    Keyboard effects aside, it's the same-old same-old, and whether you love Snow Patrol or hate 'em, Fallen Empires will do little to change your mind.

    You and I
    It’s upon closer inspection that You And I starts to lose some of its luster. To start with, some of these songs have appeared in various forms across his live catalog.

    Free Spirit
    On Free Spirit, Khalid sounds caught between wanting to play a superstar and wanting to be himself, with the result that he sounds like neither.

    Credo
    You won't find a "Don't You Want Me" on this disc, but you will find a band that's aged a lot better than many of their contemporaries, as well as a few tracks that will stand up well alongside those of their modern-day followers.

    If I'm Honest
    If I’m Honest starts with a barnburner about lacking suds (“Straight Outta Cold Beer”) and ends with a call to Jesus (“Savior’s Shadow”). It’s a trajectory seemingly dictated by Country Albums For Dummies.

    The Path of Totality
    Sonically, The Path of Totality feels culturally authentic and trendy, while at the same time, pounding enough for mosh pits and dance floors alike.

    No One Knows What Happens Next
    Variation goes a long way, and this album could have used it.

    Illusion [EP]
    Illusion is simple and retro-sounding, and as a short first record, it shows promise for future albums from this group of old friends.

    Blaster
    By the standards of the Weiland of old, Blaster falls softly short; its best flavors come from the handful of new touches. A number of songs here sound like undeveloped ideas from previous bands.

    Native To
    Even though Native To is a pleasant introduction, there's nothing urgent here.

    7 [EP]
    7 is musical Chex Mix — lightweight and best consumed in selective increments, but also strangely addictive.

    Spreading Rumours
    Unfortunately, far too many tracks on the their sophomore LP, Spreading Rumours, hear the LA space cadets sounding, well, grounded.

    Velvet Changes
    He may not be the most verbose artist, but the temperament of a reluctant romantic is a quality he shares with some great ones.

    Born This Way: The Remix
    Just in time for the holiday season, there's something for everyone on Born This Way: The Remix.

    18 Months
    Unfortunately, tracks like [Rihanna's "We Found Love"] and, to a lesser extent, Welch's slightly crowded "Sweet Nothing" float like life rafts atop a sugary sea of tunes that will be the soundtrack of television commercials for months to come.

    YOKOKIMTHURSTON
    With more focus and restraint, there's no reason to think Moore, Gordon, and Ono couldn't have really run with their collaboration and made something great. Instead, YOKOKIMTHURSTON feels like an overly conceptual exercise. Maybe that's by design, but a little melody would have gone miles here.

    Ten$ion
    Despite more of the foul-mouthed impish fun, Ten$ion doesn't offer much punch or cohesive power.

    Wake Up
    Wake Up is happy and very danceable, but it should only be consumed in small, commercial, or movie trailer-sized doses.

    If You Have Ghost [EP]
    The Ghouls of Ghost B.C. are, first and foremost, putting on a show (as evidenced by the bombastic live show recorded here), and the winking song selections and dramatic musical choices of If You Have Ghost continue that grand stage performance.

    Evinspacey
    The reality is the bulk of the album falls short of offering anything to write home about.
    • 56 Metascore

    rEvolver
    As toe-tapping or even eyebrow-raising as some of rEVOLVEr's 17 songs are (overlong at 66 minutes of no skits, just music), there's little to nothing here to put it over the top.

    O.N.I.F.C.
    Wiz doesn't often come across as having much of direction, but things like that are what make him strike as more lost than ever here.

    Haerts
    Haerts is a frequently catchy mastery of tried-and-true sounds, but ultimately there’s not much that deviates from the sugary, straightforward formula that caused the group to explode in the first place.

    Monastic Living [EP]
    The end result plays like a record for the band much more so than the fans, who might be hard pressed to hang in there with it for repeated listens after the curiosity factor wears off.

    If I Kill This Thing We're All Going to Eat for a Week
    He’s had time to hone his wallflower tendencies, translating them through robust lyrics that capture the depths of human longing, loneliness, and self-awareness. His downfall is his passive delivery of the lyrics, which he often muffles as though he’s a forlorn adolescent poet scribbling verses in his college-ruled notebook.

    Nothing But the Beat
    Like One Love, Nothing But the Beat is about what gets people moving on the dance floor.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Tranquilizers
    Tranquilizers is a fitting companion piece to Velvet Change, providing two ends of the spectrum that Jones has found himself in. His evident comfort with this material is encouraging, but it’s clear that there’s still room to progress for Dog Bite.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Temper Trap
    The Temper Trap establishes a willingness to experiment on the new album, but the band doesn't produce anything as accessible as "Sweet Disposition" or "Fader", the two biggest singles from Conditions
