    This Generation
    While the highs ("64 Impala", "Slash Gordan") could be higher, the lows aren't actually all that low. As far as full-length rap collabos go, you could do much worse than this.

    Love Is Free [EP]
    Robyn, her keyboardist Markus Jägerstedt, and the late producer Christian Falk dig into retro dance floor techniques to produce some solid, if unexceptional club tracks.

    Pan Am Stories
    There aren't as many powerful moments as on, say, a Ducktails record, but fans of that sound will find more to love here.

    Art of Doubt
    Despite presenting a more interesting record after 2015’s tedious Pagans in Vegas, Metric undoubtedly falter on their latest release. Their emphasis on guitars has certainly helped them, but Art of Doubt feels lacking in creativity. It’s a safe album, but safety can be insipid.

    At Best Cuckold
    Zahner-Isenberg has changed his focus more toward the piano and atmospherics on At Best Cuckold, as opposed to the complicated guitar lines of their debut, and it works well. However, to keep growing, the band can’t stay focused on cute adolescent lyrics that, while tongue-in-cheek, don’t match the lush intricacies of the music behind them.

    The Tarnished Gold
    The key word for this album is pretty.

    Uptown Special
    When it comes to Uptown Special, Ronson put so much effort into polishing the crown jewel that he let the rest of the album tarnish.

    The Now Now
    For now, Gorillaz seem content to oscillate between extremes, a futuristic pop powerhouse that cannot decide what the future looks like.

    Wand
    There's a lack of cohesion that makes for quite a disjointed listen.

    Milk Money
    Milk Money takes a disappointing step back in the album’s second half.

    The Light of the Sun
    At 14 tracks, The Light of the Sun would have fared better if cut by three or four numbers. But that's why god invented the skip button.

    Paracosm
    Elsewhere, he mistakes AOR-ready sentimentality and banal lyrics for perfect summer-album material, which seems like a misdirected pursuit--Within and Without already was a near-perfect summer album.

    Gemini, Her Majesty
    Leave it up to an overly trippy album like Gemini, Her Majesty to not only mix one of the most eccentric actors ever with an aquatic bird, but also a giant fish.

    The Violet Flame
    It’s an album you can approach and recognize even if you haven’t kept up with the recent catalog, but it might not set your heart alight.

    Grace/Confusion
    [Davye Hawk] likened this album's conception to "a maze to get lost in," which is the exact way listeners should approach his latest creation, for all of its sprawling incertitude.

    Come Back to Us
    The album bears Rogue's signature yet versatile voice and simplistic guitar-driven arrangements that recall his eponymous band's first album with the occasional grand gestures of Rogue Wave's later work.

    Lightning Bolt
    For the most part it’s a good record. The first two thirds are much stronger than that last third.... On its own merit, it’s a solid three stars.... The first couple of tracks had me firmly in its corner, but then the album took a complete nosedive on the back half. [Three reviewers in one]

    Good Mood Fool
    On Good Mood Fool, his voice takes center stage and is wrapped in a myriad of joyful ‘80s pastiche.

    Welcome Oblivion
    In the end, Welcome oblivion is really just three stitched-together pieces used to create a living, breathing, albeit disjointed creature.

    Render Another Ugly Method
    Lyrics that need to be read aloud to be understood, plus an unsettling discombobulation of tempos, dynamics, and various internal compositions, plus Leschper’s monotonous drone, all co-existing for nearly one hour becomes mentally exhausting and almost frustrating halfway through Render.

    Shifty Adventures in Nookie Wood
    All of its 12 tracks are reckless trials in largely unrelated genres, and most end up errors.

    High Road
    Kesha is in transition, searching for that balance that can give her music meaningful identity in the future. High Road’s few shining moments — the vulnerability of her ballads and the wild sparks sprinkled throughout — suggest that balance is imminent. High Road is ironically (and unfortunately) a low point in Kesha’s career.

    B-Room
    Maybe it puts something of a low ceiling above its head by adhering too closely to the band’s recent efforts, but while little here stands out above other Dr. Dog records, the songs are still plenty good.

    Flume
    Streton definitely has the production chops to make a solid record. However, if he wants a great record, he needs to edit down that tracklist and sequence it for cohesion.

    Elements of Light
    The pairing, and subsequent output, of Weber and the Bell Laboratory is expected and mundane.

    ...Honor Is All We Know
    Honor is a healthy step back in the right direction, but there’s also no chance of it blossoming into a late-career classic.

    Ultimately, though, he [Edwin Congreave] knew exactly what his audience would enjoy, and he delivered accordingly.

    Big Red Machine
    There are moments when it feels admirable in its scope and ambition, but ultimately, the pure intentions get lost in the noise.

    The Body Wins
    Emotion is the string connecting the album's 13 songs, which don't quite feel cohesive but never fail to surprise.
