review
-
Power Trip’s second album for Southern Lord Records brings thrash metal back with a fucking vengeance.
-
Though Drunk brings a heaping helping of Thundercat’s spectacular bass playing and sense of humor, the album is also rife with filler and underwritten jazz motifs.
-
Future showcases his softer, “sexier” side on HNDRXX, his worst album yet.
-
Swedish singer-songwriter Jens Lekman goes full-on pop with his follow-up to 2012’s I Know What Love Isn’t.
-
With RA2, Jonwayne delivers a disheveled set of alternative hip hop tracks that have potent senses of humor and emotion.
-
Future washes, rinses, and repeats on a new set of merely passable tracks.
-
When Mark Kozelek arrives, baby, he arrives.
-
Though Being You Is Great… contains some of Quelle Chris’ most obtuse material, it is also the Detroit MC’s most ambitious and cohesive album yet.
-
While Jesca Hoop’s latest album does lack a strong sense of identity, its well-crafted songs and beautifully simple instrumentation are more than enough to make it one of the better singer-songwriter releases 2017.
-
DROGAS Light is one of Lupe Fiasco’s better attempts at making an album with pop appeal, though it still pales in comparison to his more progressive work like Tetsuo & Youth.
