    Terroir Blues
    At 23 songs... his second solo full length is as bloated as a rummy's liver. Still, it's good.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Elephunk
    Sounds uniquely fresh.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Hotel Paper
    So, it's not exactly a musical revolution in the making, but it'll sure be easier to tell her apart from Vanessa Carlton from now on.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Liz Phair
    Even if the divorcée flirts with being Sheryl Crow-y bland now, she can still let whip-smart lyrics flow with her potty mouth.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Dangerously In Love
    A solo album to put all solo albums to shame.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Scorpio Rising
    There's no reason to buy any other electronica CD this year.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Vulnerable
    What once sounded like the future's music a decade ago just sounds creepy and dated now.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Everything Must Go
    Plodding jazz-rock tunes that are 30 years old at this point.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Welcome Interstate Managers
    You'll love it.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Bare
    Most of it strikes deeply and poignantly.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 91 Critic Score
    Hail To The Thief
    If you haven't already pledged your allegiance to Radiohead, this isn't gonna turn you.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    St. Anger
    While St. Anger doesn't go back to the speedy, epic-crafting days of yesteryear, it's all balls: bad-ass rock and blistering, visceral lyrics.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    O
    Minimalist folk rock in its purest form.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Soul Journey
    Fans and Luddites will find much to treasure when dropping this platter on the Victrola.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    In the Pursuit of Leisure
    At least they sound like they're still having a good time.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    0304
    Aside from the razor-thin, plastic-sounding tunes, it's hard to determine what's more disturbing, her acid-hued cover photo or the Prince-y song titles like "Run 2 U," "2 Become 1" and "U & Me = Love."
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    My Private Nation
    Pat Monahan and his boys have reverted back to their quasi-bohemian roots, meaning they sound like a better Counting Crows (with a dreamier frontman) and less-challenging Wallflowers.
    • 68 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Trouble No More
    The simpler style allows the tense commentary to come through loud and clear, as the band keeps up.
    • 97 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    How The West Was Won
    Even if you think you've heard it all before, West is a winner.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    14 Shades Of Grey
    Like a crisp Xerox of the band's multiplatinum Break the Cycle, with everything sounding bigger, brighter and tighter.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Deftones
    Even if it all sounds pretty much the same as their last few, you'd be unwise to turn a deaf ear to this release.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    From Every Sphere
    He comes across like a smarter, gentler sidekick to Badly Drawn Boy.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Golden Age Of Grotesque
    If you aren't down with Manson, this won't change you one bit. But for Manson fans, Grotesque is beautiful.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Out Of The Vein
    A semi-charming collection of catchy hooks, decent pop rock and just enough shades of darkness to keep you interested.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Good Mourning
    The slick production will scare off longtime fans quicker than a cross repels a vampire, but for the rest of us, it's an easy introduction to a crew of weird guys who deserve to be heard.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    On And On
    It's sweet and kind of sexy and all that, but clearly designed for those who find John Mayer too challenging.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Think Tank
    Give it a couple of spins, and you'll find it's completely mind-blowing.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Fever To Tell
    All bluster and noise and no substance.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    I'm Staying Out
    This spinner of wispy, earnest vocals, sad-eyed melodies and country sensibilities lacks that special spark of passion to keep one's interest.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Complex
    There's something high-concept going on here, if you listen closely enough. Sad thing is, you probably won't want to. There's something high-concept going on here, if you listen closely enough. Sad thing is, you probably won't want to.
