    Underrated Silence
    It's ambient electronica that exudes shoegaze impressionism that is also as effective as ever.

    I Will Set You Free
    Barry Adamson's I Will Set You Free is a mixed bag if there ever was one.

    Carnivale Electricos
    The sense of unbridled joy on Carnivale Electricos is infectious. It defies you not to dance.

    Grand Hotel
    It is something of a feat in 2012 to take ingredients from decades ago and serve them up impressively (and non-ironically), but without being in on the joke, the Club gets swallowed up in a wall of pet sounds.

    Melt
    As it stands today, they're just another band doing a very familiar thing--at least they're doing it really well.

    Young & Old
    The "cute" songs on this album are still the strongest, but the songs that show them stretching their wings are still worthwhile.

    Kisses on the Bottom
    Kisses on the Bottom is a respectable collection from a pop mastermind.
    • 57 Metascore

    Ten$ion
    Despite more of the foul-mouthed impish fun, Ten$ion doesn't offer much punch or cohesive power.

    The Black Session [Live]
    Some of the finer details might be lost on the live presentation, but it's nothing to cry about when you consider that you're hearing Wire in their natural habitat.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Blondes
    Blondes need to hone themselves-become harder, better, faster, stronger-if they wish to become memorable, to stand out in listeners' minds as something tangible and unique.

    Rad Times Xpress IV
    Where they strive to pioneer a new sound stemming from everything from 80s hair metal to industrial to funk, they ultimately come off sounding confused and even a touch pretentious.

    Out of Frequency
    Their sophomore effort, Out Of Frequency, is an otherworldly fantasy where disco isn't dead, chipmunks evolved from Adele or the Dee-Lites, and an iPod Touch is your gateway drug to euphoria.

    Rich Forever
    Rich Forever doesn't boast any potential mega-hits. But that's actually a good reason to give this a spin; the songs here are strong without shooting for the stars.

    Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan
    The success of the album is ultimately dependent on the listener's familiarity with the original songs.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Be Strong
    Exudes sheer fun as it embraces an honest love of classic House.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Born to Die
    Her debut is mediocre at best. At worst, it's as uninspired and repetitive as her internet commentators.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    100 Acres of Sycamore
    The album's understated bleakness could be less uniform and more dynamic, but it's still a pleasant listening experience.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Form & Control
    The Phenomenal Handclap Band return with its sophomore release, Form & Control, which feels more centered, yet as retro as ever.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the Sea Lions But Were Afraid to Ask
    Bandleader Adrian Pillado and the rest of the group work their way through their retro surf-influenced blasts of pop with ease.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Wonderland
    Wonderland may have worked better as a series of EPs, but as is the album fails to be more than the sum of its parts, possibly even hindered by poor arrangement of tracks and the odd inclusion of "The Kids Will Have Their Say."

    For the Good Times
    Equal parts good time and fresh, original takes on these classic tracks, the band offers a medley of styles that color these standards in a new light.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Hymns
    It took me more than a few listens to pick up on this subtle understanding of baroque rock.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Vodka & Ayahuasca
    Take Vodka and Ayahuasca as a testament to these guys' long-acquired mastery of their craft, even as the rhymes are generally less than striking.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Beautiful Things
    Props are in order for Green stepping out of his comfort zone. However, subsequent LPs are going to need to be more refined before they're ready to be deemed truly beautiful.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Clear Heart Full Eyes
    On Clear Heart Full Eyes, Finn brings the stories (he always brings the stories), but as a whole, the album sounds atypically half-hearted.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Fallen Empires
    Keyboard effects aside, it's the same-old same-old, and whether you love Snow Patrol or hate 'em, Fallen Empires will do little to change your mind.
    • 60 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Future This
    The Big Pink's insistence on keeping their amplifiers and ambition turned all the way up to 11 for the length of Future This makes for a decidedly dull listen and one that'll leave many fans hoping that the band will scale things back for album number three.
    • 59 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Stade 2
    The album's a little too incoherent for even the most devout of electroheads.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    All Will Prosper
    While it's clear that the album is a true labor of love for Kenniff, its 15 tracks are an exercise in patience despite lasting only 33 minutes.
    • 70 Metascore

    TM:103 Hustlerz Ambition
    There's some genuine emotional sentiment displayed, but the swagger's too powerful and everything falls prey to blasé boasts.
