    Some Devil
    By far the best showcase for Dave Matthews' seductive, haunting and deep warble.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Chicken & Beer
    When Ludacris promised his new album would cover all bases, he wasn't kidding.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Feel It
    Some Girls dishes out dirty, greasy rock 'n' roll that doesn't sacrifice mood for hooks.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Want One
    More scattered than his past works, Wainwright's skills bubble to the surface here only after repeated listens.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Cuttin' Heads
    Mellencamp's crackling, gorgeous Heartland pop resonates more now than ever--even if, at times, he sounds like he's ripping off his best guitar moves.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Between The Senses
    Combining the Verve's soul-searching themes with Radiohead's whisper-to-a-scream dynamics, Haven has come up with a weighty debut stocked with tender ballads, beautiful acoustic passages and several potential anthems.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    Das Not Compute
    DOLL may lack style, but it makes it up with substance.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 83 Critic Score
    A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar
    If you're not already part of the Dashboard faithful, these tortured-by-love songs get to be a bit much.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Talkie Walkie
    A welcome return to the group's down-tempo beginnings.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Now You Know
    Now You Know is full of the stuff BTS fans love: angular melodies, expansive nods to prog-rock and that droning, nasally voice that makes indie-rock geeks stand up and cheer.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Rules Of Travel
    The production varies from understated to glossy, and Cash has enough presence to carry it all off.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Blueprint
    The Bed-Stuy boy musters up enough of his own charisma, charm and wit to build another solid release.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Sonic Nurse
    This ain't another Daydream Nation, but Nurse is a good cure for what ails the airwaves.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Try This
    Some of it sounds similar, but Pink sticks to her guns on relationship tunes ("Last to Know"), decent dance-floor jams ("Trouble," "God Is a DJ") and tougher rockers ("Try Too Hard").
    • 86 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Feast of Wire
    Conjures up an exotic, enchanting world populated with slide guitars, maracas, accordions, brass bands and late-night country crooning.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The River In Reverse
    An urgent, soulful collection.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Sword Of God
    The odd combination of Coomes' rinky-dink keyboards and Weiss' booming beat is scrappy, stripped-down and still charmingly unlike anything else out there.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    On A Wire
    What the Kids lack in pep this time they make up for with honest, homey performances.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Unpredictable
    Whether he makes it all work via his musical skills or chameleonic acting ability, we don't know, but it does work.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Cheers
    On "Hands on You,"... Trice gets to show off his incredible lyrical flow alongside an unusually subdued Eminem.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Lovebox
    Lovebox brings together [their] disparate elements in a convenient package, highlighting the knob-twiddlers' many talents.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Open Door
    Evanescence fans can rest easy knowing The Open Door handily re-creates the sonic storm of the debut.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Skin
    A solid pop-rock album filled with brutally honest lyrics.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Sound-Dust
    Is a welcoming entrance for new fans as much as it is another fine chapter for the diehards.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Waterloo To Anywhere
    Of course, it sounds ragged as all hell, but that was half of his old band's charm.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Mind Elevation
    This time out, the beats are more energetic, the tunes feature more vocals, and there's a slightly poppier feel that makes it harder to get lost in than some of their previous, more spaced-out efforts.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Wikked Lil' Grrrls
    Even more of a musical jumble than her first album.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Weird Revolution
    Anchored in the surreal goofball art rock, club beats and bubblegum punk that made anomaly hits like 1996's "Pepper" so cool, frontman Gibby Haines and gang sugarcoat their standardized tales of decay and hallucinogens but keep some delicious bitterness intact.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Life For Rent
    That's not to say that it's bad--it's just that the radio-friendly chanteuse's lightweight fusion of beats and folk songs is sleepy and barely discernable from one track to the next.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Beg For Mercy
    Even though the cast spends an inordinate amount of time treading over the subjects Fiddy already hit with his own Get Rich or Die Tryin'--dope, guns and themselves--tracks like "Poppin' Them Thangs" and "Groupie Love" have just the right mix of humor and heat to make them stand on their own.
