The channel still churns on Swing Lo Magellan, but Longstreth has built sturdy songs with solid foundations here, trapping his confusion in a container.- Filter

APTBS's newest, the relentlessly brilliant Worship, seems designed to drive the listening public violently to their knees.- Filter

It's an interesting curiosity, a peek into a developing band (that would clearly get much, much better and become comfortable rallying around their true heart: Berman).- Filter

The only problem is that many of those stylings have already been put to death, so hearing them again can be a little annoying.- Filter

[Class Clown is] like all GBV releases, a mishmash of melodic, A-side-worthy compositions and half-formed snippets.- Filter

The production's click-clack effects and arcade synths often distract and inadvertently undercut the sincerity of Womack's words.- Filter

Stunningly bright, impeccably trim and dance-y, the level of song craftsmanship here has garnered Beach Boys comparisons, but Ace of Base might be a more accurate touchstone, with a bit of Christopher Owens' (Girls) deep, bummed-out vocal blur as well.- Filter

Lex Hives won't start a revolution, but it's enough to keep the ghost of CBGB mighty happy in her grave.- Filter

This record is not out to shatter you; its aim, rather, is to fuel your night drive through the dusky electronic corridors of sun-warmed youth.- Filter

It gives us songs more memorable for their grizzly narrations or the occasional doo-wop harmony than the steady performances of mostly standard-format jams.- Filter

2:54 falls short of being a truly great album because each song just starts to sound the same.- Filter

Much like Begin to Hope and Far, this record generally continues to juggle the same genres Spektor has inhabited up to this point.- Filter

Big grooves, smart beats, it's all technically on-point, but it lacks an original pace or narrative-pretty much neutering any melody or songcraft from the get-go.- Filter

Sun Kil Moon's Mark Kozelek revels in the succulent melancholy of sad autumn evenings in the backseat, garlanded with the shadow words of life's heaviness, clearly woven by a master of spiritual spelunking.- Filter

While the dotty cant of Mahon's guitar playing skews in Sleater-Kinney's direction, Internal Logic is largely an exhibition of the dramatic power of restraint.- Filter

With earnest piano, pulsing atmospherics and windswept vocals opening the album, the title track signals what's to come and lets you know that, had there actually been a film, it would have certainly been a drama.- Filter
