J Mascis - What Do We Do Now
Classic Rock
70
What Do We Do Now is beautiful, as we've come to expect from the Dinosaur Jr mainman.
Neil Young - Before and After
Classic Rock
70

Before And After finds Neil Young turning acoustic re-recordings of some of his past songs into a single music montage.

Neil Young - Chrome Dreams
Classic Rock
80

In places, Young plays acoustic, with just the whisper of brushed drums and a wistful harmonica. At other times it’s like experiencing a raging, howling storm in full effect.

IDLES - Ultra Mono
Classic Rock
80

Emotionally draining, masculine in a forward-looking sense, fragmented but bone-shakingly whole.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Chunky Shrapnel
Classic Rock
80

King-sized psychedelic delight on King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard live album Chunky Shrapnel.

Franz Ferdinand - Always Ascending
Classic Rock
80
Fifth album is a clever, polished pop gem.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Polygondwanaland
Classic Rock
50
Prolific psych squad favour quantity over quality.
Beyoncé - Lemonade
The Independent
100

Lemonade is fiery, insurgent, fiercely proud, sprawling and sharply focused in its dissatisfaction.

Troye Sivan - Blue Neighbourhood
The Guardian
100
Immaculate doses of three-minute emotion.
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Quarters!
The Guardian
80
One ridiculously cuddly melody follows another in the Melbourne band’s sixth album, which sits at the neon intersection of DIY psych and 1960s beach pop.
Alison Wonderland - Run
The Guardian
20
In a debut album marred by overproduction and absent hooks, the Australian DJ and producer fails to translate the brilliance of her intoxicating live shows.
