6/10
-
Some unspectacular soundplay and vocal performances hold back Portrayal of Guilt’s otherwise solid fusion of screamo and black metal.
-
Demidevil leaves quite some room for Ashnikko’s debut album to improve, but does itself have some fun highlights.
-
While not one of Ferreira’s most robust releases, bob’s son is peppered with interesting and enjoyable ideas.
-
Charmed is a house album with plenty of personality, but over the course of 3+ hours it can grow tedious.
-
For their sophomore release, Shame delivers a passionate but derivative set of post-punk ragers.
-
Overproduction notwithstanding, Plastic Hearts stands out for bringing a bit of edge to the current 80s revival.
-
K.G. sounds like a slightly weaker reiteration of King Gizz’s previous forays into microtonality.
-
Megan Thee Stallion sells herself short artistically on her still mostly decent debut album.
-
Despite its solid first half and finale, Crack a Light is Dope Body’s most predictable batch of tracks thus far.
-
By the standards of both old and new disco, Kylie’s latest album is mostly middling.
