Rize of the Fenix proves that Tenacious D still reign supreme. But maybe only burrito or chicken supreme and not quite Cutlass Supreme this time out.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

On Good Mood Fool, his voice takes center stage and is wrapped in a myriad of joyful ‘80s pastiche.- Consequence

With the exception of the reaffirming victory lap of “Money Bags (Paradise)”, a lot of the material surrounding that five-track streak [“Sunday’s Best,” “Parallels," “Sunday’s Best,” “Monday’s Worst”] falls short.- Consequence

It’s a deep dive that, while not as accessible as the band’s previous works, proves they’ve chosen experimentation over stagnancy.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

III is probably a slight improvement over the past effort in places where it counts--I just don't see enough people caring beyond passive curiosity in the long-term.- Consequence

Cast The Same Old Shadow is a more complete work than Pauper's Field, the arrangements fuller and the songs more tightly knit, but it can still be laborious.- Consequence

The album marries moments of both excess and restraint, and the dance between Skrillex and Martinez makes the ebb and flow of the music match that of the plot: a successful score.- Consequence

For now, True Romance is a valiant attempt that doesn’t do much more than provide the soundtrack for “getting ready to go out” songs on tinny laptop speakers.- Consequence

Existential nu-disco hasn’t been done to death, but it has been done better than this.- Consequence

To say this album is a complete miss would be unfair. In reality, it's a great band reaching for a completely different horizon, all with hints of their previous selves.- Consequence

If there's anything at fault with Brown's latest, it's the trap of lapsing into self-satisfaction with the way in which the band defies labeling.- Consequence

It's difficult to be so down on an album that's this agreeable, but you can't help but feel you're listening to a band that's just settling with familiar patterns.- Consequence

With an album that highlights the lowlights and vice-versa of being an MC, Big Sean has crafted an effort that makes room for himself on the rap spectrum.- Consequence

While Teen Daze's formula has worked in EP form in the past, it wears thin by the end of the full-length album.- Consequence

The trio continue on that trajectory, the mystic chanting and ceremonial trances dancing through the scattering ash. Due to that cratered impact, everything on the album sounds urgent, an exhilarating feeling that takes a while to escape.- Consequence

In recorded form, Prince Rama's magic becomes bewildering, likely to leave listeners more spooked than stunned.- Consequence

Purgatory/Paradise is a mixed bag, and while it lives up more to the first half of its title than the latter, its best moments still prove worthy of the wait.- Consequence

Maybe it puts something of a low ceiling above its head by adhering too closely to the band’s recent efforts, but while little here stands out above other Dr. Dog records, the songs are still plenty good.- Consequence

Oak Island might not bloom at the supposed crossroads of art and science (fiction), but it’s a pleasant enough take on the reconciliation of nostalgia with the desire for adult life.- Consequence

Two years later, the trio return with Gimme Some, a punk record that transmogrified itself into a pop-rock effort fueled by many drunken nights.- Consequence

The album touches on just about every idea that has made this group a big deal in the first place, but it lacks the sex-appeal of the group's last full length, OMNI, and misses the adventure of Planet of Ice.- Consequence

Streton definitely has the production chops to make a solid record. However, if he wants a great record, he needs to edit down that tracklist and sequence it for cohesion.- Consequence
