6/10

-
PUP might be a bit too in its head on The Unraveling.
-
Oxy Music, between its underexplored concept and hit-and-miss songwriting, doesn’t meet the high standard of Alex’s previous albums.
-
Vein pulls out all the stops on This World, but to somewhat mixed results.
-
It’s nice that alt-J continues to keep us guessing, but The Dream is about as hit-and-miss as Relaxer.
-
There’s still room for Saba to grow as a distinctive artist, but Few Good Things is a promising step forward.
-
Apart from a fair share of lyrical highlights, Laurel Hell doesn’t do much to write home about with its strains of pop music.
-
The Gods We Can Touch is certainly a listenable pop album, but its eccentricities mostly amount to window dressing.
-
Despite Cordae’s now elevated perspective, Birds Eye View offers a bit less food for thought than his debut.
-
For me, the efficacy and appeal of SICK!‘s disjointedness starts to wane in the second half.
