    The Day Is My Enemy
    Sitting mid-album, “Beyond the Deathray” epitomizes this new band-focused approach, and it’s probably the most beautiful track in The Prodigy’s discography; however, the revered schizophrenic beats of the crew hinder this from becoming a “band” album in the popular sense of that word.

    Slow Gum
    Gorman is a charming writer and performer, and Slow Gum is successful, but he doesn’t need to lean so hard on his influences.

    The Pains of Growing
    At her best, she turns simple observations into complex emotions. The Pains of Growing has its flaws, but altogether it’s a cohesive statement and a marked improvement from her debut.

    Hitch
    Hitch finds them not just following their best and worst tendencies, but beating the listener over the head with them. It’s not the worst way to spend an hour; you just might want to carve out some time for a nap afterwards.

    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.

    This Is Acting
    While Sia’s lines wear a badge of effortlessness, her ripe voice lends gravitas to these “victim to victory” ballads (as the notoriously media-shy singer characterized them to the New York Times in a rare sit-down).

    Yes, I'm a Witch Too
    Though it might not sound like a revelation, embracing the reality of Yoko Ono is the key to the success of Yes, I’m a Witch Too. Unfortunately, that’s only done here to varying degrees.

    Spiritual Emergency
    After Grof’s narration drifts away, Fox and company do their best to push and pull at the tempo, to spin like a Sufi, to stretch out yogic, to get into the monastic mystic chanting, breaking free of the everyday and into the spiritual.

    Live at Biko
    If you’re a Kozelek disciple, the songs on Live at Biko won’t give you further insight into the love, lust, humor, and sadness that make him tick, but the dialogue sure will.

    I Decided.
    I Decided. is a fresh statement that proves Big Sean is continuing to evolve.

    Fine Line
    Styles is a more confident and precise songwriter on Fine Line than on his debut, even if the progress is incremental rather than exponential.

    Sour Soul
    Attempts at the rapper-live band album are risky, and while it has some qualifiers, this one has to be counted as a success. It’d be a wild success, though, if the instrumental half of this collaboration were to take a truly equal share of the spotlight.

    All Yours
    Its mood is warm and inviting, but it barely has enough heft to stick with you past the season.

    The Astonishing
    You might want to laugh at points, because a good deal of it is very silly, but somewhere within the second half, you’ll become just a little invested. By the grand finale, you might even feel inspired.

    Ratchet
    Northtown’s rising star proves his worth on Ratchet through his genre fluidity.

    Curious Volume
    It riffs, it’s entertaining, but above all, it contains an existential joy that transcends recorded sound.

    Pillars of Ash
    Pillars of Ash rockets through 11 tracks without looking back, without room for breath. The songs tend to blend together in the spin cycle, one screamed vocal track melting its way into the next, one thundering drum fill inseparable from another.
