7/10
-
Iceage’s unruly energy can be at odds with Seek Shelter‘s grandeur, but only rarely is this at the expense of the album.
-
Some of its ideas do get a little stale, but all in all Bright Green Field is an ambitious and very promising debut album.
-
Gojira’s conceptual thoughtfulness remains a mark in their favor on Fortitude.
-
Three decades into their career, Cannibal Corpse’s classic sound mostly remains intact and high impact.
-
Apart from a sort of shaky first leg, La maquina is another solid release from Conway this year.
-
Spirit of the Beehive’s sonic mayhem makes up for some occasionally lackluster songwriting.
-
The well-timed G_d’s Pee is Godspeed’s strongest material in almost a decade.
-
-
Lighter on the features than its predecessor, The Plugs I Met 2 mostly finds Benny the Butcher in top form.
-
Even if it doesn’t stack up to Norman Fucking Rockwell, Chemtrails Over the Country Club is a solid songwriting statement from Lana.
