album
-
Harry Styles’ solo debut falls way short of its quality singles. Also HOW IS THERE DAD ROCK ON THIS THING?
-
Melbourne’s Smith Street Band have a lot going for them with their emo-tinged pop punk sound and passionate frontman Wil Wagner, but are let down by some familiar production, basic song structures, and cringeworthy lyrics on their latest album.
-
17 years after his landmark album Pop, ambient music producer Wolfgang Voigt has finally given us the night to that album’s day… and I really wish he didn’t.
-
Sincerely, Future Pollution finds Timber Timbre taking their sound in a more synthetic direction without conjuring the mood that made their past couple of albums so alluring.
-
While not a full commitment to its titular concept, 50 Song Memoir is The Magnetic Fields’ most charming and ambitious album in over a decade.
-
DAMN. is one of Kendrick’s most intriguing releases yet, delivering a series of tracks that are chaotic, layered, and deeply conflicted.
-
This debut Chainsmokers album is like wading through a kiddie pool of emotions.
-
Arca’s voice is a welcome addition to her otherworldly production style on her self-titled album, but sadly, many of my reservations about her past full-length efforts still stand.
-
The Far Field, the fifth album from NC synthpop trio Future Islands, is a serious case of musical déjà vu.
-
Father John Misty delivers an ambitious and grand statement on the human condition with Pure Comedy, one of 2017’s most necessary albums.
