Ameer Vann’s comeback EP is pretty bitter and one-dimensional.
-
Tool’s comeback album Fear Inoculum is insufficient not only by the immaculate standards of the band’s past work, but by the standards of rock and metal music at large.
-
K.R.I.T. Iz Here is a disappointing lapse into generic trap rap.
-

-
I Am Easy to Find returns to the dullness of The National’s early 2010s output.
