    Rabbit Fur Coat
    She benefits from solid production by Saddle Creek staple Mike Mogis, who tweaks her retro sound with synths and electronic blips, but it's the stark M. Ward-produced tracks that, while more traditional, showcase the Dolly Parton potential in Lewis's voice.

    • 30 Critic Score
    The Brave And The Bold
    Unbearably bland.

    From A Compound Eye
    GBV fans should definitely check this one out – there's a lot to like.

    Black Cadillac
    At times, Cash nails the knife-edge of hurt and love so adeptly, you feel like you're intruding on too-personal confessions.

    Standing In The Way Of Control
    Long-time fans might be a bit weirded out by the shift, but a few seconds hearing Ditto channel Peggy Lee on the smoky torch burner Coal To Diamonds should assuage their fears.

    Testify
    P.O.D.'s new album sounds exactly like all their other ones.
    • 59 Metascore

    Lights And Sounds
    So while Yellowcard's hearts may be in the right place, it's clear they're simply incapable of realizing this clumsy faux magnum opus.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Film School
    A perfectly enjoyable and to-the-point album that leans heavily on influences like the Cure and My Bloody Valentine.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Firewater
    Their beats and rhymes reflect none of the punchliney fun they used to have.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Detrola
    An exciting and often unexpected listen.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Unpredictable
    This is a dry affair dominated by standard-issue R&B production monotony, and an egregious misuse of resources.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    For The Season
    This could be any novice eight-track job recorded in a basement or garage, but at least For The Season comes off like the work of a real band for a change.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Hey People!
    The result is exactly what you'd expect: loud and hard garage rock devoid of personality or originality.
