    Drum's Not Dead
    One long ridiculous story/art project gone horribly wrong. [#19, p.92]
    • Metascore: 76
    • Critic Score 36
    Tunnel Blanket
    Texas-based group This Will Destroy You is somewhere past the breakers, floating on a body of layered soundscapes and ambient atmosphere.
    • Metascore: 76
    • Critic Score 36
    Hello Sadness
    Whereas previous albums took a massive leap into noise and danger, this disappoints.
    • Metascore: 73
    • Critic Score 20
    Peace Love Death Metal
    The worst record [Homme's] name has ever graced. [#10, p.89]
    • Metascore: 69
    • Critic Score 36
    Take Me To The Sea
    This is an incredibly abrasive album.... There's screaming on this album, lots of it...nay, way too much. [Summer 2008, p.102]
    • Metascore: 67
    • Critic Score 38
    Ready to Die
    It’s a sad affair best summed up by the title track.
    • Metascore: 67
    • Critic Score 36
    Pacifica
    If listening to sentimental techno ballads about giving up the days of tits and cocaine is what you want to do with an hour of your time, look no further.
    • Metascore: 67
    • Critic Score 36
    Public Warning
    A thin and innocuous stretch of yawners. [#22, p.97]
    • Metascore: 65
    • Critic Score 38
    Sound City: Real to Reel
    While Sound City Studios was unforgettable, this glorified jam session is not. It’s uneven and top-heavy.
    • Metascore: 62
    • Critic Score 20
    Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited
    [A] failed attempt to straddle nostalgia and reinvention. [#21, p.95]
    • Metascore: 57
    • Critic Score 37
    Slow Motion Daydream
    They don't stray from what they know and they don't tarry from their blueprint. It's just that they don't know much and their blueprint was done in crayon. [#5, p.92]
    • Metascore: 56
    • Critic Score 36
    Down In Albion
    This is a brutal disappointment. [#19, p.97]
    • Metascore: 56
    • Critic Score 20
    Around The Sun
    Weak poetry set to any music sucks, let alone this plodding folk-lite. [#13, p.90]
    • Metascore: 55
    • Critic Score 30
    The Silver Lining
    Most of it just falls flat, neither recapturing the glory days nor squarely moving the band into a new era. [#21, p.102]
    • Metascore: 54
    • Critic Score 30
    Earth vs. the Pipettes
    This isn't a case of a band branching into a new sound as much as becoming a new band altogether. And this one just doesn't make the cut.
    • Metascore: 35
    • Critic Score 30
    One
    One is a kinder, gentler record and I mean that in the worst possible way. [#14, p.98]
