6/10
-
WBGATAW contains Sharon Van Etten’s biggest-sounding songs to date, which is maybe to the album’s detriment sometimes.
-
-
Omnium Gatherum functions as a nice, if rather uneven, retrospective on what makes King Gizz such a force in rock music today. Omnium Gatherum by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
-
There are respectable creative risks taken on Famously Alive, but some of them end up sounding surprisingly derivative for GT. Famously Alive by Guerilla Toss
-
Ramona Park is both a more thorough and inconsistent exploration of the themes and sounds of Vince’s self-titled album.
-
-
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.
