    Like Summer Sun, there’s more ambience, more general keyboard and synth blear, more lounge-pad speckles and dots, but the songwriting is rudimentary even by this band’s standards and the tone color doesn’t vary as much as they maybe thought it did.

    Tomorrow’s Hits carries on the classic rock torch, for better or worse.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    What it really lacks then is quality control and what it requires is a good deal of patience but, despite the occasions when it falters, elsewhere it’s consistently good, and sporadically brilliant.

    Darlings is very listenable and mostly fun--just don’t overthink it and keep the BSS comparisons to a minimum.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    It’s an enjoyable and diversionary, if not particularly nutritious, experience.

    Skin is the sound of Flume reaching for great heights and almost grasping what he seeks there.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    Despite some glaring issues, Sept. 5th manages to stay listenable, and offers occasional glimpses of genuine inspiration.

    All of Weber’s best qualities as a producer are on display on The Triad, his fourth album and first in six years. But The Triad also reveals a previously unforeseen Achilles’ heel: the guy doesn’t have a clue what to do with vocals.

    Individual melodies may not stick in your head, but Magnifique, as a complete work, offers a musical experience unavailable beyond Ratatat’s veteran production table.

    SweetSexySavage, because of its consistency, can be run through easily, especially in a car with the windows down and the bass up. Feminism, rebellion, and plain old badassery pour from Parrish’s lips, and her melodic sensibilities are sharp enough keep you engrossed.

    If allowed a spot in your rotation, its placidity could nudge you into taking the scenic routes a little more often. And that alone is worthy of some (appropriately muted) applause.
