St. Vincent’s latest full-length is her most experimental yet!
Schoolboy Q might not be an amazing lyricist, and his new album might have a handful of filler hooks, but Oxymoron also shows him riding a variety of beats with an impressive level of precision. Not only that, but a number of tracks here bring back the grit and vulgarity
Sunn O))) & Ulver come together for a collaborative album whose recording process has been ongoing since 2008. Despite the short length of this thing, Terrestrials shows a balanced fusion of each artist’s sound.
While Temples’ shows a sincere appreciation for psychedelic pop on their debut album, the band does very little to deliver novel ideas or exciting performances.
New York’s Artificial Brain comes through with a galactic take on technical death metal on their debut album.
Step Brothers’ Lord Steppington is a great mixed bag of chill flows set against b-a-n-g-i-n-g beats. Even the more subdued instrumentals bring heat. While some tracks pale in comparison to others, there’s a lot to love here.
Polish metal outfit Behemoth releases one of its best albums in years with the Satanist. It’s powerful, immense, and twisted. Oh, and sorta catchy, too.
