 | Beyonce Lemonade Beyonce's rock-opera doesn't need the salacious back story to be engaging. | 4.0 07.11.26 |  | Johnny Cash Bitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian A brave, principled album that really should be better known and celebrated than it is. Best songs: 'As Long As the Grass Will Grow', 'The Talking Leaves', 'The Ballad of Ira Hayes', 'Vanishing Tears' | 4.0 07.09.26 |  | New Order Low-Life New Order had their cake and ate it too on "Low-Life", an album that assured their status as one of the pioneering bands of 80s dance-rock without falling into the poorly aged trappings of that time. | 4.0 07.04.26 |  | Muse The Wow! Signal I'm not sure what revitalisation everyone is hearing. This is, like their last four albums, a kid's idea of an awesome stadium-rock experience: EPIC riffs! EPIC time signature changes! EPIC strings! EPIC Matt Bellamy vocal histrionics! 'Cryogen' is pretty sweet though. | 2.5 07.01.26 |  | My Bloody Valentine m b v I wish it was a little more dynamic but it's still a lovely and immersive album. | 4.0 05.29.26 |  | Joy Division Still The clunky live set with Curtis obviously struggling to hold the line (so too, arguably, was
the sound engineer) is of little interest. What captivates us is the industrialised squall
and plain-spoken unease of the first half. 'Dead Souls' is clearly the highpoint, so much so
that other tracks sound like they are building towards its telepathic, rhythmic jam. 'The
Sound of Music' and 'Something Must Break' are barely veiled screams of disrepair while 'Ice
Age' makes good on the Cold War-dance track that the band so often wanted to write. | 3.0 05.13.26 |  | The Go-Betweens Five First Singles The Go-Betweens at their driest (lyrically and in the tones of Forster's and McLennan's
guitars) and most smirkingly bookish. 'Lee Remick' begins with the most ironic "ba ba-ba ba"
imaginable and describes the titular actress' role in "The Omen" with "She got killed/What
the heck." | 3.5 05.10.26 |
 | xxm Hello there, don?t have much to say here but I greatly enjoy your soundoffs and your taste

 | Veldin Strongly disagree with yr Junkyard sound off. Lyrics are so good they're collected in King Ink. He's heavily influenced by southern gothic literature and his translation of similar content into lyrics for The Birthday Party is one of the best parts. And his performances are far from lazy
