1. Lou Reed & Metallica - Lulu
Released: Nov 1st, 2011
Genre: Hard Rock
Genre: Hard Rock
Overall Rating: 31
... they come out with what may be the most disappointing album in a decade.
3. Lupe Fiasco - Lasers
Overall Rating: 50
The man is posterchild, billboard and spokesperson for all that’s wrong with the major hip-hop industry.
4. Tyler, the Creator - Goblin
Overall Rating: 74
A massive spoonful of marvelous hip-hop medicine, of the most unnerving, hyperreal humour you may well ever hear.
6. Morbid Angel - Illud Divinum Insanus
Released: Jun 7th, 2011
Genre: Death Metal
Genre: Death Metal
Overall Rating: 80
7. Lady Gaga - Born This Way
Overall Rating: 66
Born This Way is one mighty confused pop album, fusing some daring songwriting with some remarkably repetitive themes and beats.
8. Red Hot Chili Peppers - I'm With You
Overall Rating: 57
It’s certainly a far more engaging album than anyone could have reasonably expected.
13. Foreigner - Feels Like the First Time
Released: Sep 13th, 2011
Genre: Classic Rock
Genre: Classic Rock
Overall Rating: 30
14. Tori Amos - Night of Hunters
Overall Rating: 77
This predominantly slow, somber album ultimately overstays its welcome.
17. Beady Eye - Different Gear, Still Speeding
Overall Rating: 62
It manages excess and grandeur far more gracefully than Oasis’ own overblown collection, Be Here Now.
