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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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

Instrumentally, it's one of the stronger efforts from the band, but altogether it doesn't do enough.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

The reality is the bulk of the album falls short of offering anything to write home about.- Consequence

Bridges' voice and guitar playing are also serviceable, but the lack of variety causes the album to fall short of becoming recommendable.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

What's disheartening about In Waves is its lack of a clear identity; the band seem to be targeting too much at once.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- 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

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

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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.- Consequence

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?- Consequence
