Disembodied Tyrant/Synestia The Poetic Edda	4.5
Dua Lipa Radical Optimism	3.0
A fun, disco-pop treat, from Dua Lipa, with a select enough of tracks that are interesting, but do not quite hold up to the hype that was promised, or continue the candle high enough from Future Nostalgia.

The Ghost Inside Searching for Solace	2.5
It?s been almost 4 years since their last album, and the band?s attempt at showing, some, progression in how much they have grown after their tragic accident. But, while there are some great shifts in their sound (Death Grip) and melodic, emotionally, gripping tracks(Cityscapes, Reckoning, and Breathless); a lot of this record sees a lot of the generic, melodic-metalcore sound you could take or leave, depending on what you are really into. Those parts of the album feel stale in comparison; not bad, but just mid overall, making for an unmemorable experience overall.

Vampire Weekend Only God Was Above Us	4.5
ONLY GOD WAS ABOVE US, brings a sprawling array of emotions with creative arrangements that journey through the sights, sounds, and culture of their old city, from their perspective. The exploration of NYC feels jaunty and melancholic, but feels hopeful by the end. Another excellent record from the band, but, to me, it might be my favorite.
ERRA Cure	3.5
Ingested The Tide of Death and Fractured Dreams	3.5
The Black Keys Ohio Players	3.0
There is the occasional, bland, safe, radio friendly tracks that detract from the more interesting stuff that appear on here thanks to the production and contributions from Beck and Noel Gallagher. But, this is still an, overall, improvement over their last couple records, post-hiatus.

Even without BIG THIEFS, she creates a therapeutic sound that is not only well, poetically, written, but entirely self-preserved in its style of alt-folk/country. A gorgeous and beautiful record.
Empress Of For Your Consideration	3.5
Jlin Akoma	3.5
Justin Timberlake Everything I Thought It Was	2.5
Surface, but better than Man in the Woods in every way. The grooves do hit (most of the time); some noticeable tracks could?ve been cut and the better tracks could?ve had the 2 to 3 minute outros like in the 20/20. It?s a mix bag also when it comes to his delivery of some of his lyrics that pale in comparison to his older material (in terms of how he sells sexy). To me, this was enjoyable enough; but, I wanted something more thought out and interesting. There are so many artists who take this approach and have improved on it. JT still lives in the world he wants to live in.

It?s the uneasiness that really makes this a great record to listen to and a stand out for them as a band. By the end, it will feel like a noisy nightmare that?s unique.

The album?s lyrical themes of anxiety, uncertainty and devotion (in her personal relationship) are authentic and well written. The delivery, on the instrumental side, feels half-and-half on how this narrative is conveyed.
Courting New Last Name	2.5
The band?s second album has a pleasant and fun tone overall; but seriously lacks the growth or experimentation that was so infectious compared to their debut album. I won?t write it off as a bad record, there?s a lot of good jams in here (?Emily G? more specifically); however, this was a chance to hear the band evolve further, which would?ve been more engaging than some of the same-sounding tracks or odd auto-tuned vocals.

The 3 ex-members of Chelsea Grin come back together for the fun of it, that is not trying to innovate, but does see some interesting promise in some of the change ups. They still show their capable skills to create a very heavy, entertaining EP that is doing its own thing, and that alone gives it an edge over some of the Deathcore scene.

There is a lot going on that it?s hard to pin down what a lot of people will get a feel for on this record. From metalcore, grunge, industrial metal, and nu metal; there is a lot to take away that either might make fans and newcomers either love, hate or be confused. However, the substance of this record is full of interesting ideas that really feel more innovative than most people want to hear. This new direction is very messy, but still a whole new perspective into how genres can mesh into something new in creative ways.

Dayshell PEGASUS	3.5
Shayley Bourget?s 4th album, PEGASUS, is certainly, some of his best material that has some great production in the mixing/mastering and great hooks matched along side his unique vocal style. Even with a few missteps, like on the poppier, acoustic ballads (?Play the Beast?, ?Miss You So?) just sound like watered down sugar with tackier written lyrics. But, the sheer enjoyment that comes from this record is still Shayley?s vocals, that drive home and grab your attention instantly and the incredible production show the versatile, power of the instrumentals, especially on the heavier tracks. After the hugely, embarrassing misstep of the last record (MR. PAIN), it?s great to see a more focused Dayshell, giving exactly what?s wanted from them, but improving further.

The dynamic trio return invigorated that?s great and full of everything that has made this band stand out as invigorating and fresh. Even though it serves as ?part 1" and doesn?t feel as whole as it could be on it?s own; I?m just happy this is happening now, and anticipating that this is still just great build up for the next half of this record.
Thirty Seconds to Mars It's the End of the World But It's a Beautiful Day	1.0
Literally, mimicking other artists, (Post Malone, Imagine Dragons) to stay popular, generic, or whatever, I don?t care. I suffered through it, and this was the easiest low rating I could give. Worst Album I?ve (Personally) Heard All Year. I really can?t believe I used to be a fan of this band in the mid-2000s.

While DEMIDEVIL showcased the alt-pop/rap strengths, there was still some room to improve and perfect for the next project. WEEDKILLER, unfortunately, is anything but that. The tracks are mostly short, but range from mid to bland and barely give enough of an impression other than just being ?edgy.? It all feels undercooked and not much of the same flavor that her mixtape gave.

Just 35 minutes and this album felt like a chore. From the obnoxious auto tune and uninspired instrumentals (seriously, I feel like I?ve heard the same rhythm sections from this band before). I still think there is just enough for them to say, lyrically; but, it barely makes up for how boring and OBNOXIOUS it sounds. This might be a change of pace for them; however the Midwest Emo scene is making a lot better music to make it feel fresh and new in this era.
The Maine The Maine	3.5
Post Malone Austin	2.0
An alt-pop/singer-songwriter record that?s bland and awkward in so many ways. The direction of the sound is fine, but not much else delivers in the same way. Anthemic tracks feel cheaply motivated, and the more intimate tracks are hit-or-miss; especially, with a couple of them needing more time to be ?re-written.? The album is a mess, that maybe a minor step up from his last record, but maybe cutting some tracks or a lot more focus could make this change of pace, from the artist, a bit more satisfying.

I?ve replayed the tracks just to be sure of my feelings on this record; other than a couple highlights on the tracks I really didn?t feel much for any particular track. This is probably some of the most snooze inducing songs I?ve heard from the band. The chill vibes are here, but it just sounds flat, uninteresting and forgettable. It?s just not the band?s strongest work, overall in my opinion.

While it is an ambitious, epic record, it does come off pretentious. From the overlong run time and repetitive themes in its lyrics and compositions; there?s never quite a beat that really gave a clear idea. However, the individual tracks on this album are nicely crafted with a lot of emotional baring and gorgeous moments that make for a great listen. I?m giving a vague interpretation of the sound overall, but it?s an experience that I enjoyed, mostly.

Artificial sounding, but there is that an over dramatic style that could grab your attention. As a sucker of epic, dramatic, build ups, it was easy to be amused. However, after re-listening the album a couple times, the messy flaws really start to show how awkward the composition and corny lyrics are. Still, I find enough enjoyment by its daringness in being different as a band, even more so than their first releases.

A surprising album I never expected to find and it was worth it. Q?s sound is straight forward in the genres Alternative R&B and Synth Funk; but it is the way it is done that is so cathartic when a talent can reach the heights above so many. This is the freshest, cleanest, type of sound that feels so good, I?ve already replayed it twice.

Blondshell Blondshell	3.5
Themes about substance abuse, addiction, but mostly a introspection/retrospection of her time in recovery around and with others. Blondshell?s debut record is a shift from her pop beginnings to a dynamically, grungy, Alternative/Indie Rock sound. This is an official debut that feels like a shift in a great direction, while giving a clear narrative that is sweet, empathetic and fearless.

Gorillaz Cracker Island	3.0
I thought this was an overall solid, groove centric record that flows track to track with ease. I feel like the last third sort of falls flat with less memorable tracks, that aren?t bad, but a step down from the solid build up previously. Still, while not as grand as I was hoping it to be, it still felt freshly realized and hardcore Gorillaz fans won?t be disappointed.

Psychedelic/funk? I am surprised at this incredible, stylistic shift from Lil Yachty. The hints were there, but this is the next step of an artist going fully in. It is full of life, beauty and breath, with lyrics that don?t try to pretend to be deep, but relatable and natural enough. He has renewed and adapted his signature voice into something that is surprising, inspired and more than I thought was possible.

Even with the mid production and familiar corny trappings that are prevalent in this rocky era of Drake; this is the energy I?ve been wanting more of with the strong chemistry of 21 as his co-pilot. There are so many more interesting things happening here than anything he?s put out in a few year; I just wish it could have taken more time on the production and some fine tuning.

An exhilarating, heart-pounding and adrenaline fueled album that?s epic and raw with emotion. Lorna Shore have completely outdone themselves once again, but this time, they?ve made something that can?t and won?t quit bringing the brutal sound mixed with some of the best produced/gorgeous, symphonies. A lot of arguments could be made for some of its repetition; but, honestly, the repetition plays off in newer directions that keep the overarching theme feel like a complete, conceptual, experience as a whole. It?s a huge contender for one of the best metal albums of 2022, and, personally one of my favorites of the year.

Until I Wake Inside My Head	3.0
I was honestly caught off guard and expecting something less than adequate. I was pleasantly surprised by the heavier moments, solid, catchy structures, and the great mixing to a lot of these tracks. The group have stepped up their game since their debut EP (which I thought was interesting with a defined sound, but pretty average). It still has it share of problems, from corny writing and a few uninteresting clean hooks that were, personally, too obnoxious from the leads nasally voice. But, even that grew on me; in fact I find his voice pure medicine compared to other acts that have the same vocal range. An entertaining record overall that I hope to hear them evolve in the future.

The 80s post punk and new wave influence is very apparent, not even to mention a great additional feature from Robert Smith of The Cure (and a remix of Good Girls from John Carpenter). It?s an album that has the band using their sound and implementing some of the most sounds from that era and they succeed by making their best album since their debut.

rI LOVE The Killers and I am even surprised how incredibly consistent and thematically strong this album is compared to their last few records. (EDIT: Sorry Rowan5215, I saw you wrote basically the same sentence before me.) Imploding the Mirage was a great record, (honestly most of their albums are great) but this album might be the best of their career. Listen, to the Pressure Machine first for the thematic journey, and, if you want to enjoy the songs as they are, listen to the ABRIDGED version

The follow up to ZOMBIES is their most gruesome sound yet. When Z1 released, that was considered their most ambitious, aggressive sound at the time. Now, 11 years later, the band comes full circle, being some of their hardest, mature sounds yet, while also being a natural, progressive sequel.

Generally, what I found so interesting in this album was the ferocity that I found infectious.

Finding this band after being a huge BERSERK fan was such an awesome discovery. The fact that the album is a heavy banger that works so well, conceptually,with the source material and for anyone who has never read it. The fact that the album isn?t too long makes it all the more memorable and worth relistening. If you want something heavy, hard and fast this is the album you?ll want to hear.

Ariana started dominating herself now she's dominating you. Thank U, Next continues the realness, self care, and positive vibes that were in sweetener, but subtly adds an edgier bite. After all the crazy publicity with highs and devastating lows surrounding her, the album was a perfect testament of dealing with it. Her follow up feels like the perfect companion piece to that album, with reflective lyrics and sonicically consistent. It's a real player as the first, and could be, the best pop record of the year

While the beginning and the end don?t flow as seamless throughout the entire project, it?s still a dark and unique album from a band that incorporates black metal and black spirituals, something I never thought could be implemented together. The band really shows what the genre can do outside of the norm. The narrative also dabbles in things that are so bleak, but catch your ears with how catchy they are. I can?t wait to see what this band can do next.

The album has too many tracks with some being so hazey that it can get dull. However, the emotional gravitas of his vocals show a lot of diversity in his range on a lot of the tracks (including the party tracks) that you'll believe everything he says he means. It's not a groundbreaking album, but it's an outstanding improvement for him with some of the catchiest lines all thanks to his flow and the layers he puts into each track. A mixed bag overall, but Post Malone's earned appeal is not unwarranted with the quality that's here.

Not only is it an incredible score for an RPG, but a lot of tracks are dynamically playful in different areas of the game, giving personality through the setting and its characters. It still, never loses sight of the scope of the story and you?ll get plenty of bombastic tracks in battles and scenes. Not only is this game a treasure, the score will give a different flavor that?s unique and stands on its own. (Can?t wait to finish Baldur?s Gate 3, to hear the full experience of his work on it.)

After returning from the previous nu-metal approach with then unclean vocalist Austin Carlisle and bassist and clean vocalist Aaron Pauley (who joined in 2012 after leaving Jamie's Elsewhere) stepping up to the plate as lead unclean vocalist as well, Of Mice & Men makes a generic and unmemorable album that will just appease their fanbase, but will be lost to the empty void of this genre where every song since the mid 2000s sound alike.

Although, I wish Johann Johannsson's version of the score could be heard for the world to hear.

Of all the OVO Sound signees, dvsn is the project that is the true highlight of discovery and collaboration. It helps that producer Nineteen85 is a part of this duo, but the mysterious nature of whom the singer is (especially in the age of the internet/social media) add to the intrigue and praise this album deserves. Far from being generic, everyday R&B; there's a real connection between artist and listener because of its nostalgic old school influence that also feels fresh.

Future rides along his simple, laid back, trap beat formula that still works.
St. Lucia Matter	2.5
A nauseating blend of the history of pop, the over-the-top cheesiness of Starship, and exhausting synths. Individual tracks like "Physical", "Love Somebody", and "Do You Remember" and a couple others are easy to pick and can be enjoyable, but as a collective enough is enough. Fans of synth-pop acts like Passion Pit and others might find enough joy from it, but it won't convert everyone.r

P!aTD's new album may just as likely be called the Brendon Urie Experience. But then again, the multi-talented musician/singer is certainly an artist that can't be simply swept under the rug thanks to his charisma and charm. That being said, the album is a mess of tracks that do not match with one another but individual tracks will bring joy to most and some tracks will just leave others a bit left out.

Bring Me the Horizon That's the Spirit	4.0
I'll admit to my own weaknesses whenever they may come up. I'm a sucker for cheesy, melodic hardcore song here or there; sometimes these can be done poorly, getting a cheap reaction to grab a listener. Last year's "Drown" could have been that song, instead it was a song of personal redemption from a struggle and it was glorious. THAT'S THE SPIRIT aims to follow in that single's footsteps with a softer sound and more rising choruses. Most of the tracks do that with ease, but don't quite have the ambition as "Drown" did. This album will cater to those who want to hear something to relate to without being yelled at and it might just work with tracks like "True Friends" and "Doomed". Maybe you just want to conquer the world and that'll go well with "Throne." It's motivated and has every intent to show the world that Bring Me the Horizon is so much more.

The Devil Wears Prada Space	3.5
Just as their first concept EP, 'Space' is an atmospheric and inspired affair into a subject that isn't about life or faith but delves into a more thematic piece. All the tracks have appropriate titles. Taking aim at the minimal synths used in many space films, it adds a new element in TDWPs heavy sound that brings a stronger emphasis to the concept's focus ("Planet A"). "Supernova" is the most commercially made song on the EP, but has an explosion of energy that is perfect to it's title flowing into a pretty melody. "Asteroid" is the most versatile instrumentally with beautiful layered vocal tracks. This is possibly the strongest flowing project TDWP has made in a while with the exception of "Celestial Mechanics" (a fancy titled Interlude). For fans of TDWP, this will not go unnoticed and will definitely get kick out of this if you missed their more daring ideas from 'Zombie.'

Breathe Carolina Savages	3.0
As usual, Breathe Carolina brings on the party with edginess, but one of the great things that made the band good (well since their last album) was the contrast between the two vocalists in the group, whom held each other up. Now that one of their vocalists is gone, it's the one, nasally singer on his own 75% of the time. David Schmitt is not a "strong" vocalist, and that's okay; his un-dynamic, nasal swelling high to low mumble is...passable? I suppose. But the tracks that feature guest artists including Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, Karmin, and Tyler Carter bring back that contrast that works to Schmitt's vocals. The remaining tracks are either hit-or-miss in EDM tracks. It's odd to say that the heavier track, "Sellouts" is the strongest song off the album. With Danny Worsnop heavily invested. This is great because it's an anthem about not selling out for others to like them. It's an incredible song: lyrically and instrumentally (including the build up to the half point where it stops to take a breath and gets quiet, adding a very emotional center). But for all the praise I give to this track, it's the most out of place out of the rest of the album. This is the only song that features heavy chugging and screaming of any kind. It probably would've been better to release this as a single (just like Issues released "Hooligans" alone). Mostly this album is just an overlong, but fun album most will definitely get a kick out of this summer. It would have benefitted from more guest artists and featured a heavier sound. Simply, it's an okay EDM/pop album.

The 1975 The 1975	3.0
The 1975's debut is full of funky beats and youthful rebellion; definitely the perfect soundtrack for a summer of lust. As it goes, it's odd to say that the album overstuffs itself with filler that either doesn't fit the atmosphere or slows it down. If the album was shorter and had a consistent tone throughout, this could've been one of the better releases this summer. Instead, it's a cluttered mess of ideas that feel like filler. Some of the more upbeat tracks will overshadow most of the album's dull moments. Tracks such as "Chocolate", "Girls", and "Settle Down" are some of the more fun tracks, while "The City" and "Sex" are stand out tracks for their heartfelt tales of youth. This is an album to pick apart, but it's tight enough to listen with an open mind and heart.

The first 6 tracks are generic, but passable enough (personally) to be something that has a bombastic charge that's fun to listen to. I have affection to melodic hardcore acts, and I had enough to go off to enjoy it. Ending it with the track "Move On", not a particularly good cut, but might have been enough to send the message and have old fans leave with a satisfying EP. Instead, the last several tracks are so bland and forgettable, I had to lower the score.

An album with an interesting approach and catchy melodies, but it fails to have the strong core like their last two album and falls apart pretty quickly.
Hands Like Houses Unimagine	3.5
The intent of the band's latest effort is to progress from the usual catchy hooks of their debut and to be deeper. Their attempt is commendable and should be worth noting but it comes off less enjoyable and more dull. I the Mighty proved you can have a enticing album that was deep and enjoyable. Hands Like Houses can't exactly pick all the right tones for each song with some feeling duller than the last. On a more positive note, the tracks kick a powerful punch. The instruments feel like they have weight behind them and a thoughtful structure keeping the songs less layered, but more intimate. The powerfully soulful style that Trenton Woodley uses also keeps this album well intact and memorable. Unfortunately, the tracks that feature Woodley front and center are possibly the weakest of the album. The two slowest tracks "Oceanside" and "A Tale of Outer Suburbia" are so low key and bland with the instruments that it feels like Woodley maybe putting too much emotion into it. The saying "less is more" doesn't exactly work for Woodley in this album and the tracks feel misplaced and unguided. Some fans might like the change of pace, but I was already enjoying the change of pace with the newly controlled atmosphere the band has made on this album. Here, those tracks don't belong. The progression is very impressive for a ban in this genre and it's fresh to hear something good be turned into something better. This is a well done album by a very talented band. Recommended Tracks:"A Fire On a Hill"; "Introduced Species"; "The House You Built"

Middle Class Rut Pick Up Your Head	3.5
Pick Up Your Head packs a hard punch that has a more experimental approach than their predecessor. Just as Silversun Pickups is compared to Smashing Pumpkins, Middle Class Rut can be easily identified with Jane's Addiction; but just because you sound like another band doesn't mean it should be analyzed for it's similarities, such as vocalist/guitarist Zach Lopez sounding nearly identical to JA's Perry Farrel. Middle Class Rut are going to have a difficult time without being compared to bands such as JA, but they have made an album that outshines their breakout hit "New Low" and features solid tracks that are playful with the indie rock/noise punk genres. Even when some of the tracks fall short or flat, Middle Class Rut strive on. r

A few tracks are exhilarating, catchy and pleasing to hear all around and a shoutout to the hauntingly moody "I'll Be Around". Just as "Alive" and "Concert Pitch" are the feel good jump and dance anthems, "Celebrate" sounds like the rebellious love child of Daft Punk's "One More Time" & "Digital Love" with all it's upbeat charm. But many tracks don't live up to the LP's expectations that's overly long and feels uninspired like half of the great tracks on here.rRecommended Tracks: "DNA", "Alive", "Concert Pitch", "Ice on the Dune", "I'll Be Around", "Celebrate"

Sadly, a forgettable piece of work from the recently signed band, that held much promise after their debut EP Reflections came out three years ago. This is an album that had potential to be so much more but feels less inspired and forced back. Now here's a band with potential and there debut doesn't leave much to talk about.

I'm proud to say that this is the BEST release by ETF and I'm not pounding my head or scratching my head wondering why this album is fun. The album takes the best of both albums (minimun) and make it into a fun listen. The hate for this album is purely based on hate. The band even defends themselves from their harshest critics with the track "Forget About Me". Take it from someone who doesn't just give automatic 1's because he hates something. I have plenty of bands I despise but there's always good taken from something bad and this album (though not my taste and far from bad) is listenable and a step in transformation which can be shown in tracks like with the edgy, slow track "Picture Perfect" or "Chemical Love". To sum up the band's career with Craig Mabbitt: 1st album - bad fun, 2nd album - bad bad, 3rd album - average.rRecommended tracks: "Until We Die"; "Chemical Love"; "Picture Perfect"

Karen O may be experiencing a serious lack of vision or might be suffering from an identity crisis. The album has a few highlights, especially the incredibly produced and layered single "Sacrilage" which may be the best YYY track in recent memory. The album slumps moderately from passable to forgettable. The tracks aren't all bad on the way down, they just lack a clear identity. Even the track featuring Killer Mike's Dr. Octagon is random and unnecessary, but it's still fun. My favorite review of Mosquito has to be by Josh Kurp whose article is titled "5 Stages of Yeah Yeah Yeahs: How to Admit a Great Band has Released Their Worst Album" on Uproxx.com. All my thoughts on this album come from it. This album is not terrible, it's just a big plate of "Meh, okay."

M83 Oblivion (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)	3.0
The tracks lack any depth to become epic tracks in action sequences, but what makes up for it is M83's cues from Daft Punk's last collaboration with Joseph Kolinski in Tron: Legacy which had very slow and subtle orchestration to build up with small emotions rather than large reactions. This tactic both succeeds and fails at bringing the sci-fi thriller's more bigger moments to life, but it does work in regards to the smaller moments that occur between the characters in scenes.
Paramore Paramore	3.0
Just so you know, Sputnikmusic is the only website that wrote a scathing review for this album while others are praising this album's diverse change and new approach at making a fresh pop punk experience.

From the album's first single, "Nothing Lasts Forever", it doesn't grab the sense that this album will be as groundbreaking and memorable as Listen & Forgive and sadly that's what drifts it apart from it's predecessor. But as unfair it is to compare albums, when obviously Transit wants to shift tones by making this experience more intimate and down-to-earth. In the process, the album is less enjoyable and mellow. Young New England definitely puts listeners in the city of Boston, but only a tiny glimpse.

This is one of the most rewarding albums I've had to experience. The amount of work and effort put into this record can be shown from the production, the writing, instrumentation and the soul. All the tracks are handled with diversity and feel unique, which makes each play feel intimate. This album is a beast all its own that not only sets the bar for 2013, but also feels like it has reinvented the word "quality" into a refreshing term for all music. But speaking as a fan, who has been following this band since Brennan Taulbee filled in as lead man, One Big Particular Loop is absolutely worth the 3 year wait.
Christopher Owens Lysandre	2.5
rOwens undermines his sensitive subject matter, unlike his last album with former band Girls. But, on the other hand, it still has a flare that's satisfying and commanding for an artist like Owens. The overall album is a casual presentation that serves to keep the listener at an emotional distance.
Ice Nine Kills The Predator	2.5
I gotta say, I was hoping for something a lot more after hearing the Silverstein-inspired track "What I Never Learned in Study Hall" which is a very mature and interesting song. But when the opening track obnoxiously chants "We Are the Walking Dead" over and over and over again, it really hits you over the head. "Father's Day" is a bit better in terms of how repetitive some of the tracks are. The rest feels contrived and fails to soar which includes a pretty pathetic rendition of a hit Adele song. As energetic as it feels, the rest of the EP just feels like another zombie for the genre. rRecommended Tracks: "What I Never Learned in Study Hall"; "Father's Day"

Woe, Is Me Genesi[s]	1.0
A horrendous and teething experiencie; there isn't a rhyme scheme, consistent tone, or even a guilty pleasure feel to this album. It's just loud, obnoxious and disgusting. After the release of the intro single "Vengeance" was released for their new lead singer, I thought maybe this would be a new turn. To my surprise, all my expectations were shut down with the release of their re-issue, which made me feel less anxious and cringing at the the thought of what they could release. The worse of my fears came true and now this unmemorable piece of garbage has been released to the world. Their new singer (sometimes based on style) is horrendously bland and unspectacular. His voice is robotic, his voice doesn't even have soul, he just hides it underneath low yelps to make it sound like he has a style when it only sounds like a cat hacking up a hairball(insert Gollum joke). Even the best tracks like "Family First" have the cheesiest and cliched lyrics, but those can always be fun to listen if it has the right music to back it up.

The album feels fresh, at times; with the R&B/pop melodies and the more interesting breakdowns. But there are way to many off putting moments (rap/scream vocals, awkward trap-music sections). The EP feels very rushed and over thought. To be supportive, they are worth checking out, but you'll have to find peace with the flawed sections in this debut.
Deftones Koi No Yokan	4.0
Deftones bring weight and tension into their new release with subtlety, making this their strongest release to date.
From Indian Lakes Able Bodies	4.0
How to Destroy Angels An Omen	3.5
The Weeknd Trilogy	3.5
The Trilogy clears up the production on his mixtapes, and it does make a lot of the songs pop out more. Between the remasters and original mixes, I (preferably) think the mixtapes best give that haunting, stripped back and sad sound/atmosphere that this is going for.
Lana Del Rey Paradise	3.5
Dirty Projectors About to Die	3.5
Various Artists (Punk) Punk Goes Pop 5	2.0
Loraine An Autumn Evening	3.5
Loraine wants to take you on a journey, but while the songs production and instrumental build ups are cheap and nearly feel identical, they end up giving you a Hallmark greeting that will have you invested. The EP succeeds, for the most part, at making each listener feel uplifted yet reserved for easily excited crowds.
Shiny Toy Guns III	3.0
Carah Faye's return is a return to form for the band with an assortment of uplifting and dance-able tracks.
Kendrick Lamar good kid, m.A.A.d city	4.5
Thy Art Is Murder Hate	4.0
Anberlin Vital	3.0
Little by little, it seemed like this band always wanted to go become the the alt-rock response to New Order. The work has definitely payed off, making this the most refined and mature album in their career.
Sky Ferreira Ghost	3.5
Freelance Whales Diluvia	3.5
The indie pop vibes that were present in their debut album are almost completely erased, but haven't lost their charm as they twang here and there with some of the most atmospheric tunes to be released on Earth. It feels as though the whole crew at FW took a vacation in outer space, then came back to a country home. It's an odd coupling that works to the band's advantage. r

Protomartyr No Passion All Technique	3.5
Tame Impala Lonerism	4.5
They fail at bringing the 60's & 70's vibe, but create something far more interesting.
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis The Heist	3.0
The Mountain Goats Transcendental Youth	4.0
Miguel Kaleidoscope Dream	3.5
Muse The 2nd Law	3.0
It's a solid effort that doesn't quite hit its target, but it's certainly ambitious and confident. Why don't you take it upon yourselves to actually listen to the album. 'Madness' is actually a very good, soft-rock ballad.

Grizzly Bear Shields	4.5
Band of Horses Mirage Rock	2.5
A few interesting changes in their sound but some of that is forgotten with less than memorable tracks. Recommended Tracks: "How to Live", "Shut In Tourist"
How to Dress Well Total Loss	4.0
When artists or musicians are inspired by dreams, they tend to portray their music as an accurate portrait of their lives. Some artists successfully induce that feeling, but some don't always succeed. Instead, How to Dress Well (the alias for solo artist Tom Krell) creates an image so vivid you want the entire album to be your ambience. Those familiar with Krell?s work should know how he operates; he uses quiet beats and hid his soulful voice under distortion. In his sophomore record, those beats are amped, but keep with quiet consistency of his first album. Even better, the vocals have been cleared up; replacing the distorted noise and making Krell?s voice more audible. Lyrics don't exactly convey the setting but weave with the beats and the slowly paced rhythm as Tom Krell transitions his sweet tenor voice as if he was the offspring of Robin Thicke. Songs like "Cold Nites" remind you of the dream sequences from the film Inception, and have a vibe that resembles the compositions of Hans Zimmer on some of the tracks. If you love the band Wild Nothing or solo act Bon Iver, this album boasts an atmospheric and moody evasion of reality, but never hesitates to back down until the very last track
The Killers Battle Born	3.0
The Killers follow their journey to an inspired, heartland rock sound that has a bigger '80s vibe than any of their previous albums. This will probably be undervalued just like their last album "Day & Age" but for hardcore fans of The Killers, this is an album worth checking out.r
Osees Putrifiers II	3.0
GOOD Music Cruel Summer	3.0
It's uneven and lacks any depth or lyrical conviction from the artists; but it does have memorable moments (suggesting 'Mercy' and the lyric "Drop it to the floorrMake that ass shake; Make the ground move, that's an ass-quake")
Calexico Algiers	3.5
Sea Wolf Old World Romance	3.5
The xx Coexist	4.0
The xx prove themselves to be well rounded musicians by making a quieter and intimate experience.
Blaqk Audio Bright Black Heaven	2.5
Cash Cash The Beat Goes On - EP	2.0
First off, what happened to the announced album? There was a tracklist and everything. Anyways, this album is unfortunately so&so; a disappointing and distant turn for the EDM band.
Animal Collective Centipede Hz	3.5
Animal Collective is still the spastic, charming band that fans love and music still continues to be an art to them; but at times their new album feels like a pinball machine that won't let the ball fall into the drain. That being said, this is still a great album that should be a test for the millions who have followed them for so long.
Two Door Cinema Club Beacon	3.5
A smart and strategic follow up to their successful debut.
Cat Power Sun	4.0
Imagine Dragons Night Visions	2.5
It has clever moments, but it feels bland and uninventive. If you want to hear something that's sweet, you'll be singing merrily to the tunes on here. But for anyone looking for something more, this'll be a sour note.
Circa Survive Violent Waves	3.5
Get Scared Built For Blame, Laced With Shame	3.0
Sparks The Rescue Sparks the Rescue	3.0
ASAP Mob Lord$ Never Worry	2.5
Minus the Bear Infinity Overhead	2.5
Infinity Overhead keep a persistent groove that has an undeniable charm while not having the poignancy they obtained so well on their last albums. Minus the Bear isn't breaking any new ground, but they sure as hell sound like they are having fun trying.

Wild Nothing Nocturne	4.5
Eclectic, beautiful, and extremely memorable. The arrangements are so clean and the lyrics blend majestically to the rhythms of each track. This might be one of the best exciting albums to be released this year.

Goat World Music	4.0
Yellowcard Southern Air	4.0
2 Chainz Based On a T.R.U. Story	3.0
2 Chainz has all the makings of a great rapper, but he's misguided by creating a lack of depth in his beats and ryhmes. As a singer, he has the flattest range of most rappers as proven by the random melodies he adds in his verses ("I Luv Dem Strippers"). If he's the next big thing, then Lil Wayne is the next Pro Skater.
Youngblood Hawke Youngblood Hawke	3.0
With all the breakthrough artists coming out, this is a genuinely good time. The beats are energetic and never feel alienating. I can't say it's genuine unlike most of the new bands, but I can say it's very fun.
The Neighbourhood I'm Sorry...	3.0
Jeremih Late Nights With Jeremih	3.5
It's definitely not as complex as Frank Ocean's Channel ORANGE but the beats are an inspired mix and feel fresh. These tracks show a diversitial artist and help us forget the tragedy that was "Down On Me."
Joshua Radin Underwater	3.0
A Bullet for Pretty Boy Symbiosis	2.0
It's hard to listen to an album like this because it has inspired moments that should be commended for, but then falls flat from becoming anything better then that.

Hail the Sun Elephantitis	4.0
Glass Cloud The Royal Thousand	3.0
Maroon 5 Overexposed	1.0
An album that kicks and stomps on the devoted fans who loved the soul and funk vibes they've displayed over their career, replacing them with throw away beats that just don't belong in any Maroon 5 song. Overexposed is the perfect title for this album as it feels uninspired, and over produced and has little to no soul. Levine's affair needs to end quick before it burns away.
Linkin Park Living Things	3.0
This album is much more personal, unique and in depth as previous outings.

An EXTREMELY dramatic change to a band that had a fantastic sound and replaces it with mediocre, funkydance pop.
Usher Looking 4 Myself	3.0
Broadway Gentleman's Brawl	3.0
rInstead of growing in the easycore sound they were doing great in, they've created an album that's self absorbed in melodies and power chords you swear you've heard in every pop punk album ever made. It will still keep any listener entertained during the summer, but it's a drastic step backwards from Kingdoms.
The Hundred in the Hands Red Night	3.5
The dramatic and tense rhythms make up some of the best moments in this sophomore outing, but some tracks lack creative vibe.
Right Away, Great Captain! The Church of the Good Thief	4.0
Metric Synthetica	2.5
While there is that staple sound they have gained popularity from, since FANTASIES; there is a lack of forward momentum driving each track.

Squarepusher Ufabulum	3.0
Silversun Pickups Neck of the Woods	3.5
Silversun Pickups take an edgier and less subtle approach in this album and probably not an album can be sat through just once; you need to let it grab your attention through every listen. This also goes for the lead single "Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings)": a haunting nod to the infamous folklore tale. This new approach feels less organic but doesn't stray as far to the sound that they have made in the past.r
Cattle Decapitation Monolith of Inhumanity	4.0
Keane Strangeland	2.0
An album that desperately wants to reach the top of the surface, but only fails to drown slowly. Some of the uplifting moments from their past records do make a return, but even those don't live up to the standards that so many were hoping for. Recommended Tracks: You Are Young, Silenced by the Night, Disconnected, On the Road, Day Will Come
This Providence Brier	3.0
Not as compelling as their previous ventures, but a welcome sound.
Skip the Foreplay Nightlife	1.0
It's generic and shitty as hell. It follows around the musical stylings of a strange My Darkest Days and Abandon All Ships (something that sounds worse then it sounds) but seems to be channeling Bring Me the Horizon. Also, any band that covers LFMAO is certainly not music that should be covered or heard from in any style.
Norah Jones Little Broken Hearts	3.5

I the Mighty Karma Never Sleeps	3.5
The EP as a whole is a solid listen, but the production feels too pressed on, causing it too lack any warmth or life. Some times, the drums sound thin and sapped of energy. Even though the sounds are sharp enough to overlook, the overly crisp, and trebly tone becomes a problem in some areas.

Meshuggah Koloss	3.5

Kindness World You Need a Change of Mind	3.5
Even though it feels brooding at times, it's pretty damn brilliant once you explore the core of the album.
I See Stars Digital Renegade	2.5
I've been wondering ever since Digital Renegade was announced, why I See Stars was planning another album so early. Was it for the fans? Was it for the critics that panned their 2011 album The End of the World Party? Or is it because they are that motivated to revolutionaize everything? Regardless, they impress, even if that means they barely scratched the surface of something new. In simple terms, it's stronger then both their previous albums. It's heavier then anything they've previously released that it feels edgy and risky at the same time. The integrated electronic sound has never felt more comftorable then ever before, clearly demonstrating a better understanding of what "electronicore" is. As some songs show passion for music making, a lot of it sometimes feels like rinse and repeat for each breakdown and every beat. Most importantly, It's a love letter to their dedicated fans and the club scene. This is their best album to date.
Delta Spirit Delta Spirit	3.5

It's so great to hear this band come back with a more interesting sound than their last album. Since Colin Ross' departure in 2007, there was a lot of disappointment from fans, but some were excited to hear that backup vocalist Nick Thompson would fill in. Now 4 years have passed and the band seem refreshed, Thompson sounds more at comftorable than ever before and an unexpected new approach that's less forceful in catchy rhythms and more about the build up to each song that is well deserved and refreshing.

Lana Del Rey Born to Die	3.0
ADELE may have range and fire in her voice, but Lana Del Rey has a style that's classy and original. She proves her chops and is a well proclaimed gangster Nancy Sinatra. It may not be perfect, but it sure as hell is deep enough to synpathize with.

Attack Attack! This Means War	1.5
rrCutting your hair, making a couple progressive build ups, and different vocals don't substitute the bad lyrics and unbearable sound. For God's sake! There are holes in THEIR songwriting! i'm really not trying to hate on this band, but it seems like they're doing this on purpose just to taunt me. So DEFENDtheir compositions and DEFENDtheir bad song writing because there it will only make me feel better knowing that I know of good bands that I can hipster out to rather then subject myself to this garbage. For those who hate on high pitch vocals, listen to this guy, he can barely hold a note.
Anthony Green Beautiful Things	3.5
Green's new album shifts tones in a confident and joyful noise that puts a smile on any listener's face.
We Are the Arsenal Surveillance - EP	2.5
SECRETS The Ascent	2.0
What we have here is a generic, but fun sounding album that outdoes most of bands in this genre even though it wanders without a reason. The vocals aren't all impressive and seem half ass. Still, this band might have potential beating the odds of their competition. You're way better off with this album over ATTACK ATTACK! rJust listen to "Melodies" and try not to hum it out loud.
ScHoolboy Q Habits and Contradictions	3.5

The Killers (RED) Christmas	2.5
Deas Vail For Shepherds & Kings - EP	3.5
Artist's covering Christmas carols is just as old as artist's trying to cover pop tunes. Little did I know Deas Vail made a Christmas EP which I responded with a unenthusiastic sigh. I should have saved that sigh for Pop Goes Punk Vol. 4, because these tracks are far more interesting then another metalcore band screaming Ke$ha lyrics. Everyone has done these songs time and time again, but Deas Vail creates these tracks with such creative care it's a breath of air. It's more comfortable and not over blown like so many bands try to make these songs into. I recommend buying this CD and playing it on a loop or on a mixtape at Christmas parties

Drake Take Care	4.5
Drake "cries us a river" is putting it mildly. Drake wants us to sympathize with him at this stage in his career, something very hard to do when so many rappers are stuck gloating about their success. Drake does something risky and makes it an impactful experience. The title track "Take Care" is so raw and feels exactly as it should be with a tired couple who are just working through a lot of ups and downs in their relationship. Many songs go through the trends of the casual rapper like "HYFR" and "The Motto", but what's wrong with that? As long as he does it with thought and creativity. Drake does this far more clever then it should it be. Take Care is the album that reaches level not many critics or audiences didn't exactly see coming. "Marvin's Room" is might be the most emotionally vulnerable tracks as it obviously draws off a drunk phone call to an ex-lover as he pours his heart out. It's great to hear that the majority of these singles are all focused on Drake's success and the pressure it puts on him. This is an album that succeeds in being relatable and enjoyable in so many ways.

Angels and Airwaves Love - Part II	1.5
This album is pathetic compared to the amazing buildups Part 1 created. Instead, they try making as many catchy singles in one album, where only a couple succeed and the rest fail at growing.
Wale Ambition	3.0
The Northern Key Wedgewood	3.5
Florence and the Machine Ceremonials	4.0
Without hesitation, Florence Welch has outdone herself by making a soulful, pulp, gospel mix that does everything right from beginning to end. This is a classic in the making.
ASAP Rocky Live.Love.A$AP.	4.0
Nothing more can be said this rapper's technical intelligence more than his fascination on acid trips. His skills are great and hopefully improvement comes with it.
Close Your Eyes Empty Hands and Heavy Hearts	3.5
Stronger, passionate and catchy, but breaks down the wrong path.
Coldplay Mylo Xyloto	2.5
The singles undervalue the greatness of this album. Though the classical interest that most listeners keep up with may not be completely intact, there's something bigger at work around the bend.

All Get Out The Season	3.5
We Came As Romans Understanding What We've Grown to Be	3.5
Re-evaluate: The lyrics are strongly written, the sound keeps itself from trying to be generic (while fooling around with it), and it has an excellent orchestral vibe. The only downside is the always inconsistent fade in, fade out echo that seem to show up in every song.
The Kooks Junk of the Heart	2.5
Though cluttered, the change of sound feels refreshing and inspired, creating an enjoyable pop soundtrack for the summer.
Bush The Sea of Memories	3.0
Strong return from alternative-grunge. After a decade, they still sound freshly polished.
The Devil Wears Prada Dead Throne	3.5
Out from the roots, came more progression. From within the branches, less generic kicks.
Grouplove Never Trust A Happy Song	3.0
The first half of this album is sheer fun and excitement, but once you reach the mid section the album becomes less consistent.

Kimbra is a wildly inventive and colorful artist. Her beauty only compliments the music she creates which only adds to the character of this album and makes it sound effortless.
Bombay Bicycle Club A Different Kind of Fix	3.5
Hawthorne Heights Hate	2.0
Back to the bad emo roots and some boring breakdowns.
Active Child You Are All I See	3.5
The Cab Symphony Soldier	3.5
To sum this up, The Cab has literally put their heart and soul into this album, which you can feel even in the catchier segments of some songs. Every part of this album boasts boisterous vocals and lyrics with guitars and drums that knock the rhythm for one of a hell of a ride.
Radical Face The Bastards: Volume One	4.0
The Weeknd Thursday	4.0
Gotye Making Mirrors	3.5
Gotye is an impressive man not only because of his keen pop mind but because he can make an album sensitive and catchy to the nature of what the song requires. Even though this album doesn't hold as much as his debut, he still can form an incredible album out of passion, even if the songs are shorter.

Hypnotic, seductive and mesmerizing music that wants to make love to your ears. It blends the sounds of Panda Bear, Tiesto, and Bon Iver into a sound that works.

So poorly repetitive, Wins at being worst than the new ATL!
Get Scared Best Kind of Mess	3.0
They scream, crawl into your skin and mix the best elements of: MCR, and The Used. But most of the time, you'll have moments of deja and wonder why they don't just join those bands themselves. Still, this band at least embraces the "horrorcore" elements and has fun.r

A solid improvement after their first album that''s agressive and melodic.
Owl City All Things Bright And Beautiful	2.0
Adam Young is really a kid at heart looking at the bright side of life, and a lot of the criticism aims at his non-sensical, bubble pop lyrics and beats that make you think it's all cute, but nothing else. The critics are also right and wrong on this. I don't fault Owl City for making something light and fluffy for the audience, it's a good product and it sells well. But what's lacking is substance and meaning.
The Dear Hunter The Color Spectrum (Complete Collection)	4.0
I think it's funny that a $35 album is #1 on their bestsellers so far. Eager fans I have to say. I agree with them. There are way better songs on this album then the 11 track album. Get this one.

Cash Cash Love Or Lust	2.5
While making cheesy beats for Sonic the Hedgehog, Cash Cash has made an album that takes the concept of "What's the difference between Love & Lust?" into a candy land that's sweet most of the time.
Foo Fighters Wasting Light	3.5
Holy Ghost! Holy Ghost!	4.0
It has unique and catchy beats that would make Devo and LCD Soundsystem cross their arms in jealousy.
Panda Bear Tomboy	4.5
I feel as if this is a self reflective and meditative album that was made reclusively and influenced by drone and surfer rock music. The end result is beautiful and memorable. Panda Bear shortens his tracks yet gets flack for it, but each track still holds the atmospheric style and sound that make his role in Animal Collective a piece of the overall puzzle to them. Tomboy is no exception and is a must listen.

Not only is this album the highlight of their career, but it's their crowning achievement as well; moving forward from their violin driven melodies and progressing to a more applicable sound that makes everyone crave for more.

The Weeknd flows and chills to the rythm; something that's misunderstood in the music industry. You can hear the devout passion in his voice and the sweet chilling moments that could make any listener close their eyes and dream too.
Rise Against Endgame	3.0
I feel like Rise Against has been born again with the same feel as The Suffer and the Witness. Appeal to Reason just didn't feel comftorable and it felt unevenly paced, this album just shows how much they can impact musicgoers everywhere.

Pierce the Veil Selfish Machines	3.0
In the ever growing list of high pitched vocalists (ex. A Skylit Drive, Sleeping With Sirens, etc.) lead vocalist, Vic Fuentes maybe the one of the strongest on scene. The experimental sound blends nicely with his heart bearing voice. It's true the lyrics and sometimes come off as cliched and generic and I agree at times it feels a bit whiny, but I think that's what helps make the music feel real and unreal at the same time. It's a stronger album in general, even with the obvious poppy hooks and the occasional cliched "diary" lyrics, the music does make it clear what it's trying to convey. Life is tough, love can be rough, but you can always build yourself back up.

Lackluster mainstream radio rock band channeling the worst of the worst including Sick Puppies and Saving Abel. The one redeeming quality in Cavo's debut is that the vocalist has more soul then either of those bands combined who reminded me a bit of the band Safetysuit. The problem for Cavo is that I've just named 3 different bands that they sound like and only one of them is worth your time.

Tyson Ritter is just what he wants people to think he is; passionate, eccentric, and the definition a glam rock star. He shows true showmanship through some real gems on this album. But some of the songs don't push hard enough and just leave another taste for something else. But still, he should be proud of what he has accomplished thus far.

Theatrical elements flow vigorously throughout this album. It does follow many of the guidelines of most musicals and fights to have the same cliched themes. The story is quite a visual piece to imagine. Though there are moments where it seems to dwindle off nearly to unconvincing territory, but it's Timothy Dutton's vision of fantasy and his of love for Broadway that's displayed.

Most of the time, an artist's version or vision is always the better road to take. But their record label seemed to have a different idea of their contracted band and put out a different playlist focusing on a lyrical, folk sound. Though, track wise, the sound isn't as cohesive, but the songs themselves are better in general for their lasting value, but doesn't pass by in a rush.

Basshunter Now You're Gone-The Album	2.5
Basshunter has not entirely made a criminal offense here. There's a lot to admire from the beats, the atmosphere and the even the bad cheesy lyrics are fun. When you're music is obviously innovating people to dance and that's as far as you'd like to go in your career, there is no shame in that and should be left at that. As an artist, you have a chance to take liberties and make individually memorable songs; but in Basshunter's eyes, all of his songs NEED to be the same. I can't remember which song is which so I have to play the song that has different words in them. On the positive side, it's danceable and fun to song along to. The negative? It lacks innovation for something new.

Yes, Johnny Craig has got an impressive voice, but where is the musical direction heading towards? All you can here is his "incredible voice" and a band who idon't sound like thy're paying enough attention to their music. It makes you wonder why he's in a band in the first place. It has stand out moments musically and instrumentally, but the standout moments need to shine through an ENTIRE song to really grab anyone.
Hit the Lights Skip School, Start Fights	3.0

The Devil Wears Prada has become an interesting topic now these days. A band that has grown so much in popularity but has been disregarded from the media. In a sense, only so many can handle this genre, and I'm one of those people. But why do I like this band do much? I won't play dumb; I'm a Christian, and I appreciate the theology of this band staying in that realm. But it's not their faith that particularly drives me. It's the way they can portray a scene with each song. Grant it, not all the lyrics are excellent, but it's very impressive how the lyrics and the switching between the screaming vocalist and the clean vocalist. Somewhat of a good v. Evil scenario.

I never thought too heavily on the negativity this album received. I feel that the hatred towards this CD was the heavy focus on melody. But that's what made this album so special. It had the unique way of selling itself as fun and upbeat. It's repetiveness can be quoted here and there, but it has a special place in my heart b/c of the pure energy it provides.

I can totally understand why I liked this album when I was a kid; this was pre-A Walk to Remember Jon Foreman. That means this was the grungy, teen, rebellion era; only blander and forgettable. Yes, I liked this album as a kid, but it has not aged well as far I'm concerned.

Instrumentally, it's a fantastic album, and thouigh there is inspiration, it's always been the weakest side of Rusted Root. Still, they do capture the sounds of different cultures into one. The tracks express a kinetic form of energy and have a great, multi-cultural groove to it.r
