5/10
-
The War on Drugs’ heartland rock sound is more direct than ever on I Don’t Live Here Anymore, with Granduciel’s vocals and writing not always up to the task.
-
Blue Banisters sounds more slapped together than Lana’s past two LPs.
-
Though its initially interesting aesthetic becomes samey and Trippie’s performances are hit-and-miss, Trip at Knight is his best project since his studio debut.
-
As of now, Still Woozy’s take on alternative/bedroom pop is neither terrible nor particularly memorable.
-
The House Is Burning, for the most part, is about as engaging as a lackadaisical buzz.
-
You have to trudge through a lot of middling pop rap to reach USEE4YOURSELF‘s pockets of emotional potency.
-
For better or worse, All Over the Place lives up to its title.
-
Outside of its strong first leg and closing lead single, Planet Her lacks as a showcase for Doja Cat’s personality.
-
TLOP5 is a step in the right direction, but Pi’erre still has a ways to go when it comes to song pacing and vocal performance.
-
Butterfly 3000 barely scratches the surface of its more synth-centric direction.
