    Sonic Highways
    Unfortunately Sonic Highways only delivers occasionally.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Other I
    More polished and yet somehow less exciting. Nonetheless, The Other I is an album which offers plenty of eerie, shadowy pleasure.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Blue
    While Blue’s electropop soundscapes are hardly a great move forwards from their first two projects, there are genuinely majestic emotional moments to savour here.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Big Music
    Big Music sees them come out fighting with their best album in decades. Rather than appearing musically tired or bereft of ideas, they have real stomach for the fight, a resilience that looks set to see their star continue to shine.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Rip This
    Diehard fans of the genre will find that Bass Drum Of Death makes a welcome addition to their playlists, but for the rest of the music world, Rip This may only entertain for a few tracks.
    • 61 Metascore

    Primus & the Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble
    Taken for what it is, Primus & The Chocolate Factory is a fantastically ridiculous release that should please fans of either [Primus or Willy Wonka].
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    In the Seams
    In The Seams sees her settle down into a recognisable sound--a more minimal, stripped down approach than previously for sure, but one that accentuates her voice perfectly.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    La Isla Bonita
    Whilst La Isla Bonita might end on a downer musically, this is an album that finds Deerhoof sounding refreshed and eager to go for another 20 years.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Clark
    The results as diverse as one would expect from such a multi-faceted pairing: chaotic, withdrawn, subtle, bombastic, promising and ominous all at the same time.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Hum
    Whilst the debut got tongues wagging, the follow up is sure to get hearts pounding--a superb collection of tracks that points to a band that knows where it’s going.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    My Favourite Faded Fantasy
    It may not be a barrel of laughs, but My Favourite Faded Fantasy proves that nobody does hushed introspection as well as Damien Rice.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Inevitable End
    The Inevitable End, whilst more reflective and introspective, is little different. If this is the end of this current stage of the Röyksopp story, it’s a pretty classy way to bow out.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Mariachi El Bronx (III)
    The key to this album is that whilst the original concept of Mariachi El Bronx remains in tact, things are changing slowly and given time, could easily evolve into something truly fascinating. They feel like they’re on the cusp of the something here.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Rhythm
    This duo is an increasingly masterful unit. Even with just voice and drums, it would appear that the possibilities are endless.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Michael
    For its maker, it’s a chance to cut loose under the banner of diminished expectations; for the listener, it’s a temporary distraction at best.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    No One Is Lost
    No One Is Lost isn’t a bad record: most of its songs are put together with care and the results are highly listenable. It’s just a shame the band seemed to lose their nerve in its execution.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Flesh & Machine
    Flesh And Machine is a record made with an abundance of indulgence; a collection of sounds that requires cynicism--and hopes for instant gratification--to be checked at the door.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    1989
    While not completely successful in showcasing in her transition into pure pop, 1989 is a great listen for those refuse to believe both the hype and the haters.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Don't Say That
    For anyone that even slightly misses the decade that saw Britpop bands pop up left, right and centre you could do a lot worse for your health than take in some Superfood.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Black Metal
    What is surely one of the year’s most frustrating releases.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Pour It On
    Despite the solid highs, there’s nothing truly spectacular and the end result is rather uneven in terms of quality.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Songs
    As an overall piece of work, Songs flows seamlessly, with the consistency in mood and tone and meticulously crafted arrangements meaning not a note sounds out of place.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Kiasmos
    The integration of beats, synths, strings and piano offers an uninterrupted, textured suite that is as assured as it is enveloping.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Ruins
    It’s a typically resourceful, subtle and mesmeric addendum--and one that underlines just how consistently excellent an artist Harris has been.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    No One Wants To Be Here and No One Wants To Leave
    Whilst not perfect, Nobody Wants To Be Here And Nobody Wants To Leave is, as the cliché goes, a return to form and the album of a band that has rediscovered what they’re good at.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    It's a Pleasure
    It’s A Pleasure ultimately comes across as slight as its deliberately platitudinous title, but Dury remains an intriguing talent who’s worth following.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Ultimate Painting
    Ultimate Painting is certainly no big hitting, all powerful heavyweight champion of the world, it’s far more of a flower waving pacifist.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Keep You
    Keep You certainly succeeds in lyrical and atmospheric effect; there are just a couple compositional pitfalls that will likely work themselves out at live shows.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The Best Day
    The Best Day is neither derivative nor weak. In fact, it’s another enduring release from an always reliable rocker.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Phantom Radio
    Lanegan has infused much of this material with the sounds of his influences successfully. Admittedly it is a little tinny in places, and sometimes the warmth of that voice makes for an awkward fit with the detachment of the music, but for the most part, it works rather well.
