6/10
-
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.
-
Arca has formed an impressive body of work with the KICK series.
-
-
Enough of the ideas TWOPOINTFIVE throws at the wall stick.
-
While a lot more impressive than the preceding Emperor of Sand, Hushed and Grim does buckle under its own weight.
-
It’s nice to hear Parquet Courts go in some different directions on Sympathy for Life, but the successes are more or less in the spots that most resemble the previous Wide Awake.
-
Deep States is TFS’s weakest batch of songs yet, which is to say it’s not that bad.
-
Oxidized might just be 2021’s most vicious sonic beating, and your mileage will most certainly vary based on that.
