6/10
-
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.
-
As an overview of Daniel Lopatin’s musical exploits, Magic OPN isn’t quite as spectacular as it could have been.
-
At 22 tracks and nearly 80 minutes, ELE2 is a slog made mostly worthwhile by Busta Rhymes’ virtually unrivaled proficiency and personality on the mic.
-
While it’s certainly understandable that Open Mike Eagle is still processing the events that inspire his latest album, it’s hard not to feel the narratives lack the depth of his past work.
-
Featuring the likes of 100 gecs, Xiu Xiu, and Full of Hell, the somewhat uneven DISCO4 contains some of HEALTH’s strongest material in years.
