    What The Sea of Memories does is inject some life into the Bush brand, proving that Rossdale isn't ready to call it a day.

    Junk of the Heart may not convert any of The Kooks' detractors, but its hooks should be enough to satisfy fans of their light, catchy pop.
    • 66 Metascore

    A lot of them work; and some fall short. But even with that being said, for a debut, it's a fun, promising effort from a band who has already established themselves as a live show mainstay in the indie realm.

    Overall, by the end of the album it feels like Wayne maybe pushed Tha Carter series one installment too far.

    Like One Love, Nothing But the Beat is about what gets people moving on the dance floor.

    All that's "green" isn't necessarily gold here, but most of it shines.
    • 63 Metascore

    Instrumentally, it's one of the stronger efforts from the band, but altogether it doesn't do enough.
    • 70 Metascore

    The flow of tracks leads, however, one by one to the end of the album, all without delivering a truly outstanding, cathartic moment, leaving behind a half-sated feeling.
    • 68 Metascore

    While this album may have taken that last bit a little too literally (or perhaps not literally enough?), it has moments that do just that, blending the perfect amount of dance-ability, intrigue, and emotional power.

    The reality is the bulk of the album falls short of offering anything to write home about.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Bridges' voice and guitar playing are also serviceable, but the lack of variety causes the album to fall short of becoming recommendable.

    Blood Orange is a unique new identity for Hynes, but it doesn't feel finished. Coastal Grooves is a splash of ideas and potential that never really comes together.
    • 66 Metascore

    What's disheartening about In Waves is its lack of a clear identity; the band seem to be targeting too much at once.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    You won't find a "Don't You Want Me" on this disc, but you will find a band that's aged a lot better than many of their contemporaries, as well as a few tracks that will stand up well alongside those of their modern-day followers.

    This is a really pleasing album. Just don't listen too hard to the words.
    • 76 Metascore

    Nothing can be accomplished if someone doesn't stand up and act as the new gold standard. Kanye West and Jay-Z have proven themselves to be, at the very least, kings of just that notion.

    Even a few shiny remixes can't save a floundering sophomore album like this one.

    My Damnation serves as minor evidence that Chelsea Grin might not become a throwaway copycat. Fans can only hope polish doesn't push these Utah rockers away from their current path and towards the poppier territory of their more famous neighbors.

    If you're willing to dig around a little bit, you'll unearth a small handful of moments showing Hiatt at his very best. You just have to get your jeans a little dirty.

    The album bears Rogue's signature yet versatile voice and simplistic guitar-driven arrangements that recall his eponymous band's first album with the occasional grand gestures of Rogue Wave's later work.

    He literally gives over five minutes of shout-outs, thanking people for their patience, but by the time we get here, our patience is run ragged.
    • 71 Metascore

    Let It Beard might be the weirdest but most original album of the year.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Though his lyrics still reveal the same somewhat troubled, fascinated, inquisitive, frustrated, self-aware, and bewildered soul as always, the music itself is pretty bare bones.

    The majority of a record being submerged in noise certainly won't please everyone, but Prom stands as a solid second release from a group that certainly has a lot of growing left to do.

    While the best part about the tape is its track-for-track coherence–unlike most of Mane's releases, there isn't a single atrocious or incongruous moment here–the worst part is that there isn't much difference between its peaks and valleys.

    They know what they do well and they accentuate that time and time again. While the stories can get drawn out at times, there is still enough here to sustain a solid listen.
    • 79 Metascore

    Despite the ability to place this on a continuum, this is a record that sounds so dissimilar from its kin, a unique new version of an old favorite.

    If you already like 3 Doors Down (and plenty do), then Time of My Life will be another album worth listening to; if you're one of the people who liked "Kryptonite", it's probably not worth bothering.
    • 64 Metascore

    With Everything's Fine, The Summer Set offer enough of a glimpse to prove that they have just enough staying power to stick around.
    • 78 Metascore

    In summation, for a band that received little limelight in the beginning, Little Dragon showed immense talent and work ethic to earn their keep in the world. Our question is this: Where were those two items when recording Ritual Union?
