    Sheezus
    This is an artist with taste and opinions of her own, not just a schedule and a fanbase to satisfy.

    London with the Lights On
    There is nothing not to love about it.

    Born Villain
    The eighth Marilyn Manson album features some of his finest lyrics yet and, musically, it often approaches the heyday of Holy Wood and Mechanical Animals.

    Exile
    It's on close personal terms with magnificence.

    La Liberacion

    Credo
    What matters is that the I Monster team have cooked up a production that matches our expectations of a League LP.

    Do It in the AM
    The result is not, however, a revolution in his sound but a refinement.

    James Arthur
    The constant here is Arthur’s voice: genuinely soulful and able to switch from MC to Marvin at the flick of a falsetto.

    Panic of Girls
    They unapologetically rip into this album with a pulsating and mangled electro-pop opener called "D-Day", and rarely, if ever, lapse into giving people a poor photocopy of Parallel Lines.

    The New Classic
    This is an instantly engaging showcase of the 23-year-old Aussie’s talents--poppy without diluting her fierce-flowing charisma.

    The Sound of Sunshine
    From dancefloor tracks such as "Shake It" to a lover's rock vibe on "Only Thing Missing Was You", Franti has made an eclectic, conscious album
    • 55 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The North Sea Scrolls
    It's deeply engrossing and rings resoundingly with cultural and historical truth.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    @Reverend_Makers
    "Yes You Do", a 1950s rock'n'roll love song updated for the synth age, is the standout track, but "Bassline" is the most typical.

    Sounds from Nowheresville
    This is an album that deserves at least to reacquaint the Ting Tings with the outskirts of Somewheresville.
