    Data Lords
    Schneider’s assessment of the impact of digital advances, while pessimistic, is not without nuance. ... Schneider is capable of breathtaking beauty as a writer – unafraid of exploring direct melodic communication and stirring arrangements. There is also plenty of subtlety and nuance in her writing, so this communicates honesty and sincerity more than earnestness.

    Condors
    Particularly impressive is that the music never feels incoherent or thrown together. The band always, somehow, emerge with a compelling and coherent voice, albeit a strange and often dark one.

    Yeezus
    Yeezus is a divisive album, one that contains some of West’s most inspired samples, collaborations, and racial observations to date while at times being insufferably misogynistic and confoundingly lyrically lazy.

    Seeds
    Seeds is destined to grow and grow. Exhilarating stuff.

    Last Evenings on Earth
    Such a musical melting pot can easily turn into something inaccessible and lifeless, but that’s never the case here. Skill, knowledge and passion clearly inform what this band do, but what comes across most strongly is a sense of joy, and that makes it difficult to feel anything other than wholly engaged as a listener.

    1000 Forms of Fear
    In 1000 Forms Of Fear, we have what is probably Sia’s finest body of work.

    Bad as Me
    The fact that he can produce an album like Bad As Me, with more energy, invention and sheer excitement that artists half his age stands as testimony that Tom Waits remains one of the true giants of music.

    Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was
    By the time the album’s 54 minutes have drawn to a close, you feel exhausted but in the best possible way.

    Aforger
    Aforger is one of 2016’s most impressive albums and will most likely be seen as key in years to come when looking at Douglas Dare’s development as an artist.

    Blackstar
    It’s an album that sums up Bowie as an artist--restless, audacious, constantly looking forward to the next new idea. January may only be a week old, but that ‘Best Of 2016’ list already has a slot filled.

    Mean Old Man
    This album of covers brims with intensely organic and engaging moments, breathing new life into songs that could've just hung out like tired old windbags.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Things We Think We're Missing
    Because you’re ready for The Things We Think We’re Missing. It’s yet another one of those albums you didn’t know how badly you needed.
    • 82 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Crack The Skye
    Crack The Skye is a monolithic achievement from a band that never compromises in terms of vision or style. It's easily the best metal album of the last 10 years.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    WIXIW
    WIXIW is a wonder of an album of endless layers and contrasts to get caught up and lost in.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Liberty Of Norton Folgate
    The Liberty Of Norton Folgate may just be the best thing they have ever recorded.

    Divers
    What is arguably Joanna Newsom’s most consistently outstanding record to date.

    Favourite Worst Nightmare
    What is most startling... is the amount of emotional depth that Turner's injected into his songs here.

    Lisbon
    Their incongruence makes neither any less brilliant. So powerful is its imagery, and so timeless is its presentation, Lisbon is sure to join High Violet on any shortlist of the most memorable albums of 2010.

    Modern Kosmology
    Transforming states and changing perspectives are once again the order of the day. Modern Kosmology marks another triumphant evolution.

    A Moon Shaped Pool
    This is as compelling and coherent a collection as they have ever made. It’s a record that you can delve deep into and really inhabit; everything’s in its right place.

    My Love Is Cool
    It’s as good a debut as you could hope to hear, a fresh injection of pure brilliance and beauty to a genre that is creaking under the weight of mediocrity and a lack of adventurous inventiveness.

    Burst Apart
    As an exercise in maintaining artistic form, it's an indisputable success.

    (Whirring Marvels In) Consensus Reality
    In short, it’s classic Eluvium and caps another special album, one that sparkles, soothes, and confirms him to be at the height of his creative powers.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Plastic Anniversary
    Plastic Anniversary is yet another masterwork by a duo that have been on the top of their game for longer than some producers have been alive, and long may their reign over sample-driven electronica continue.

    Varmints
    It’s a marvellously un-sobering boisterous beast of a record, and a sparkling début.

    Typical Music
    It may be nearly 35 years since The Charlatans signed to Beggars Banquet, but for sheer scope and invention, Tim Burgess knows no bounds.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Lie Down In The Light
    Lie Down In The Light is the sound of a musician at ease, quietly and calming experimenting with his sound and subsequently coming up with his finest work to date.

    Wasted Years
    Wasted Years features another 16 blasters to add to your ‘essential punk’ playlist.
    • 78 Metascore

    Kompromat
    While there are certainly all manner of influences on KOMPROMAT, this is an album of considerable depth and intellect that rewards careful investigation, and a well timed return from a band at the top of their game.

    The Randy Newman Songbook, Vol. 2
    The Randy Newman Songbook Vol 2 is an invigorating celebration of the power of music, and a delicate declaration of the power of one man and his piano.
